Notes for RICHARD SIZEMORE:
Richard Sizemore came from Spartanburg District, S.C.and moved to Habersham Co., Ga. by 1822 and to Dade County, Ga. about 1845. Some researchers give his middle initial as L. Before that (to credit descendants in Eastern Cherokee claims), the family came from North Carolina. The Sizemores had been in America since at least the 17th century. Some branches spell it Sisemore. The name is cognate with Cismor and other Portuguese Jewish surnames. It derives from Sis[a)mai, a Judahite of the descendants of the daughter of Sheshan and Jarha and is a Phoenician god's name, meaning water crane or swallow. "Sheshan had no sons, only daughters; Sheshan had an Egyptian slave, whose name was Jarha... Eleasah begot Sisamai, and Sisamai begot Shallum" (1 Chronicles 2:34-40). They were Portuguese Jews who blended with the Saponi, Powhatan, Mattaponi, Cherokee and Creek.
Even though census records lead us to believe Richard was born in 1800, his will of 1850 says he is of "advanced age." A birth date of about 1790 would make more sense.
Here is his will transcribed (thanks to Winona Jones of Weatherford, Tex. for a copy of the original):
Georgia. Dade County. In the name of God, Amen. I, Richard Sizemore of said state and county, being of advanced age and knowing that must shortly depart this life, deem it right and proper both as respects my family and myself that I should make a disposition of my property with which a kind providence has blessed me; do therefore make my last will and testament hereby revoking all others heretofore made by same.
1st item. I design that my body be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner suitable to my condition in life. My soul, I trust, shall return to rest with God who gave it.
2nd item. I design and direct that all my just debts be paid without delay by my executors hereinafter appointed, as I am unwilling my creditors should be delayed in their right.
3rd item. I give, bequeath and devise to my son Andrew Jackson and Thomas Benton and James Clayton and my daughter Malinda Elizabeth part of lot of land number two hundred and nineteen in the eleventh district of formerly Cherokee, now Dade County, containing one hundred and ten acres with all the rights, members and privaliges (sic) to said lot of land in any wise appertaining or belonging forever.
4th item. I give and bequeath to my son John one sorrel horse and two cows and calves and their increase and six head of sheep and their increase, one yoak (sic) of stears (sic) and cart, one hundred bushels of corn and ten head of hogs, and one rifle gun, and three feather beds and furnature (sic).
5th item. I hereby appoint my son John executor of this my last will and testament this April 18th, 1850.
Richard Sizemore
Registered this 20th of April 1850.
