  1. 4.  George Washington Traywick was born on 22 Nov 1844 in Carroll County, Tennessee (son of John Traywick, II and Diana Cook); died on 20 Jan 1927 in Central Community, Cleburne County, Arkansas.

    Notes:

    He was 6'7" and weighed between 235 and 250 pounds.

    He was a confederate soldier, a corporal in the 10th Arkansas Infantry, Company C, nicknamed "Choctaw Rifles." He served with his older brother, John Gideon Trawick. The 10th was at Shiloh and Cronith, then was surrendered at Port Hudson shortly after Vicksburg fell, on July 4, 1863. After they were exchanged they went onto General Shelby's raid into Kentucky. During the war, George was captured by bushwhackers and came home either on parole or furlough, with a friend. Both men were stood on a high riverbank at gunpoint, facing the river with their backs to their captors. George's friend was killed with a shot to his head. George dived off the bank into the Red River and swam for his life. This story was still being repeated by his descendants in the 1980's. There is much speculation about the identity of the friend.

    George was a strong patriarchal figure in his family, with great influence over his children and grandchildren. He was a succesful cotton farmer and enjoyed a good deal of community respect. He split up his farm and gave each child 100-120 acres plots as they were married. His home was destroyed by a tornado in 1923.

    He was remarried to a Frankie D.

    George was known as an eccentric, strong willed character in Quitman, not someone to be crosssed. The town banker, Ben Clark, recalls a knock at his door late one evening. George was there, pointing out a minor error on a deposit slip. Ben's punch line was that the mistake was in George's favor. He was a proud, independent man who didn't want to be obligated to anyone.

    He was Methodist.

    George married Elizabeth Isabell "Fanny" Rogers on 15 Jul 1866 in Van Buren County, Arkansas. Elizabeth (daughter of John Rogers) was born on 22 Aug 1848 in Arkansas; died on 9 Sep 1927 in Arkansas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Elizabeth Isabell "Fanny" Rogers was born on 22 Aug 1848 in Arkansas (daughter of John Rogers); died on 9 Sep 1927 in Arkansas.

    Notes:

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  John Traywick, II was born about 1795 in Wake County, North Carolina (son of John Traywick, I and Milberry Earpe); died about 1848 in Carroll County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    John and his brother Gibson migrated to Tennessee from North Carolina in the late 1820's.

    1830 Census, Carroll County, Tennessee pg 75 John Traywick, 1 male 30-40; 1 female 20-30

    1840 Census, Carroll County, Tennessee pg 43 John Trawig 2 males 0-5, 2 males 5-10, 1 male 30-40 (females missing from this extraction??)

    (Extract by Beverly Hudock, courtesy of Lynell Cordell)

    John married Diana Cook in 1832. Diana was born about 1803 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Diana Cook was born about 1803 in North Carolina; and died.

    Notes:

    Biography of her son, Andrew Marcus Trawick gives her maiden name, and also states she was born 1803 and died 1860. As she was not located on the 1860 census, it is possible she died before that, or in any case prior to the census.
