Harris County, Georgia was created in 1827 from lands which were originally part of Muskogee and Troup Counties. In 1833, believing that he was in his last days, John Myrick of Harris County made his will. I have not been able to ascertain at this time if the will was proven.
He provided for his children; Elizabeth Cody, Richard Myrick, Isiah? Myrick, Mary Nilliford?, William Myrick, Ann Rinder?, Howell Myrick and his grandsons Simonson & William Cody/Cady.
Richard Myrick to inherit
Abram
and his wife Adruny ? (unusually John Myrick acknowledges a marriage existed)
Aaron, a man
and the boy Peter.
(In the 1850 Slave Schedules there is a Richard Myrick age 65 of District 58, Pike, Georgia with 8 slaves, wife Nancy and 3 daughters. In the 1860 Slave Schedule, he still has 8 slaves. I cannot confirm if he is the same Richard at this time.)
