William (1791-?) & Elizabeth Register (1797-?) ~ parents of John Young Register 1818-1872

 A good many of the Washington County Georgia Registers' are from the South Carolina--Darlington area. They are descendants of Joshua Register b. bef. 1755. Known sons of Joshua are: Jesse, Thomas, James, Joshua Jr...all est.born 1755-1774. These are on the Darlington 1790,1800,1810 censuses.Then pickup in Washington Co. Georgia in 1820.At least one group, later returned to Darlington Co, SC...believed to be Joshua Jrs' Family. (see 1830-1840 Darlington, SC census)

Land awarded in Washington Co. GA to Thomas, Reddin, David about 1822+1824.There is a large group of Registers' living in the household of a John Register of Washington Co. Ga on the 1830 Census. [For Land, see the Laurens Co GA website.] Washington Co, and Laurens' Co had some overlap in those early years.That means, that research of the Laurens' Co "group" and the SC "group" are often intermingled, making sorting them out difficult.If you're from the SC group...you're a distant cuzin! Several of the SC/Washinton Co, GA group went on to gain land patents in Alabama.Two migrations are known...early on (1820s) to Henry Co/later Houston Co. AL and to the (1830s) Pike Co, AL area. The "Laurens County" group, are descendants of NC Registers...and Cuzins to the SC "bunch". Some lines are mapped in the Laurens group.

Other William Registers' are found in 1830 in Dooley Co,and Ware Co, GA.

Would you post the Childrens' names that you have on your William & Elizabeth Register?Working together helps...

 I have no information on any of William and Elizabeth's other children. According to the 1850 Pike County census,William C. Register is listed as 59 years old and born in SC.
Elizabeth is listed as age 53.Hope this helps.
