Notes:
Israel lived in Camden County, Georgia. It is believed that Israel was the first known settler of the Okefenokee Swamp. During the time that Israel lived, Charlton, Georgia was then Camden County, Georgia.
The earliest white settler documented who was associated with the Okefenokee was Israel Barber. He moved to the Georgia Bend (the tip of Georgia, created by the St. Marys River, which dips into Florida) in 1807. He was interviewed by members of the Georgia-Florida Boundary Survey in 1831. Barber said he was familiar with the recesses of the southeastern corner of the Okefenokee because of his "habit of hunting gaters and herding cattle and hogs throughout the country." He died in 1833.

Robinson - James Robinson Sr. 1752-1832 whose wifes name was Mary (an Indian maiden of the Tuscarora tribe) moved to Wayne County Georgia in the early 1800s. Many of their descendants lived in what is now Charlton County Georgia. Robert Robinson born 11/22/1836 in Traders Hill, who served with the Okefenokee Rifles along with several brothers four of these brothers losing their life during the Civil war. Thanks to James Robinson descendant Roger Layton Crews for this information. Note: Greg Wainright may also be a descendant as James Wainwright (brother of Joseph) was supposedly married to James' grandaughter Nancy Robinson as his second wife. However, some sources cite Nancy Cooper as his 2nd wife. http://members.aol.com/gregwain5/native.htm
I tried to locate Roger Layton Crews in January, 2007 to ask him about Mary being an Indian maiden but discovered he had died in August, 2006. acw
From Folks Huxford, Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Volume 7, pages 349-350:
James Robinson, Sr., RS served as James Robson in the North Carolina militia in the Revolutionary War (see p 215, "Roster of North Carolina Soldiers in the American Revolution"), and in the 1827 Georgia land lottery, he drew land as a Revolutionary soldier as "James Roberson" of Wayne County (page 42 Reprint, Georgia Land Lottery 1827). He drew lot 402, 8th District of Appling (now Ware) county. The sons, James, Jr., and Wiley lived in Wayne County and son John in Appling County. The other sons evidently moved to GA after 1820. James and wife were living alone in the 1830 census of Wayne, each between 70 and 80 years old. Mrs. Ruth Robinson Moody of Nahunta, Georgia, was the first descendant of James Robinson, R.S. to be accepted on his record of service by the DAR. She was accepted April 14, 1973; her National number is 577937; she is a member of John Floyd Chapter, DAR. She descends through the son, James Jr., and the latter's son Mark.

Info from: Judy Crabb Roberts-Oxford, Florida
Jim Strickland lists John's birth date as abt 1772? and his date of death as abt 1840.
From Pioneers of Wiregrass, Georgia: by Huxford John O'Steen was born in North Carolina in 1772, a son of William and Elizabeth (Davis) O'Steen. The family moved to Effingham County, Georgia about 1791, then to Liberty County, then to Tattnall County. John O'Steen's wife was Ada Weeks.
More children have been found since this book was printed. There were 13 children in all, including Ada's illegitimate daughter, Phoebe, born in 1785.
John O'Steen and family moved to Wayne County in its early days, 1810 or before, and also lived awhile in Camden County. Record is found in Camden of his service as an Indian spy in the Camden County militia under Major William Bailey in 1817. When Appling County was created, he became one of its first settlers in the 451st militia district which in those days embraced the whole of the present counties of Ware and Atkinson, Clinch and Pierce Counties. He was first Lieutenant of the militia in that district,
1821-1822, he and his family were cut out of Appling into the new County of Ware, and when the new 586th district was formed out of the 451st it included the O'Steen home in present Clinch County. He was 2nd Lieut., of the militia in that district, 1830-1832. Mr. O'Steen was one of the Justices of Ware Inferior Court, 1829-1833.
John O'Steen died in Ware, now Clinch County, Feb. 15th, 1840, in his 69th year. Census References: 1820 Appling; 1830, Ware
From 'Families Remembered' by John Albert Burnett John O'Steen and family moved to Wayne County in its early days, 1810 or before, and also lived awhile in Camden County. Record is found in Camden of his service as an Indian spy in the Camden County militia under Major William Bailey in 1817. When Appling County was created, he became one of its first settlers in the 451st militia district which in those days embraced the whole of the present counties of Ware and Atkinson, Clinch and Pierce Counties.

He was 2nd Lieut., of the militia in that district, 1830-1832. Mr. O'Steen was one of the Justices of Ware Inferior Court, 1829-1833.
Mrs. Ada (Weeks) O'Steen was a charter member of the High Bluff BaptistChurch in present Brantley (then Wayne) County, when it was formed on June 30, 1819. Mr. O'Steen was baptized into the same church May 11,1823, and on November 8, 1823 they were dismissed by letter to join in organizing the Kettle Creek Baptist Church in what was then Appling County, Georgia (But which became Ware County in 1825). Due to the loss of the latter church's records their subsequent church membership cannot be traced.
John O'Steen, late in life made a move with his family to Columbia County, Florida. He is shown in the 1840 census of Columbia County. John O'Steen died in Columbia County on Feb. 15 , 1841. Ada (Weeks) O'Steen after the death of her husband moved in with her daughter, Mrs . Robinson who lived in Camden County, Georgia. Ada (Weeks) O'Steen is shown living with her in the 1850 Camden County census. She is thought to have died between 1850-1860. John O'Steen, and Ada (Weeks) O'Steen exact places of burial are not known.
There has been some controversy for several years over Phoebe O'Steen's birth being before John and Ada's marriage. During the colonial period it was very common for couples to live together and even have some children before their actual marriage. Such couples were recognized as man and wife who later marries when a minister was around. Ealier researchers upset over this birth incident before marriage have concocted several stories about Phoebe O'Steen. One was that she was a half sister of Ada Weeks-this is not true. Another is that she was a relative living with the family-also not true. Illegitimacy was a sticky issue in the colonial period. A bastardy bond would have to had been posted for any illegitimate child. Carteret County, North Carolina records are quite extensive and no such bond exists for Phoebe O'Steen. She was the daughter of John O'Steen and Ada (Weeks) O'Steen that they had prior to their marriage.
Notes
[NI1775] John O'Steen was born in North Carolina in 1772, a son of William and Elizabeth (Davis) O'Steen. The family moved to Effingham Co., Ga, about 1791, then to Liberty Co, thence to Tattnall Co. John O'Steen's wife was Ada Weeks, sister of Theophilus Weeks, R.S. and was born in Carteret Co., N.C. They had the following children: Reubin; Ezekiel; Leonard; Bartholomew; Nancy; Argent; Cassandra; and Easter.
The old bible record of these births also include that of Phoebe Weeks, born Feb 22, 1785, she being a half sister of Ada Weeks. She married John Roberts. Reubin, the oldest child was born in N.C. From there the family moved to Beaufort Dist., S.C., where the remainder of the children were born, except Easter, who was born after the family moved to Georgia.
John O'Steen and family moved to Wayne Co. in its early days, 1810 or before, and also lived awhile in Camden Co. Record is found in Camden of his service as an Indian spy in the Camden Co. militia under Maj. William Bailey in 1817. When Appling Co. was created, he became one of it first settlers in the 451st militia district which in those days embraced the whole of present counties of Ware, Atkinson, Clinch and Pierce. He was first Lt. of the militia in that district, 1821-22. In 1825, he and his family were cut out of Appling into the new Co. of Ware, and when the new 586th district was formed out of the 451st it included the O'Steen home in present Clinch Co. He was 2nd Lt of the militia in that district, 1830-32. Mr O'Steen was one of the Justices of Ware Inferior Court, 1829-1833. He was postmaster of Waresboro 1830-1832.
Mrs O'Steen was a charter member of High Bluff Baptist Church in present Brantley (then Wayne) Co., when it was formed June 30, 1819. Mr O'Steen was baptized into the same church May 11, 1823, and on Nov 8, 1823, they were dismissed by letter to join in organizing the Kettle Creek Baptist Church in Appling (now Ware) Co. Due to loss of the latter church's records their subsequent church membership cannot be traced.
John and Ada moved to Columbia Co., Florida, where he is shown in the 1840 census, age 70-80 years. He died there the next year, Feb 15, 1841. His wife survived him a few years. She spent her last years with her daughter, Mrs. Robinson, and was living with them in 1850 when the Camden Co. Census was taken. The census shows her 85 years old in 1850.
O'STEEN, JOHN - VOL.lll: (1) John and his wife, Ada Weeks, were received by letters into membership in Providence Baptist Church on February 8, 1834. This is one of the oldest Baptist Churches in Florida and is located on Olustee Creek, near the little town of Providence. This area was then in Columbia County, later becoming part of New River, then Bradford and finally in 1921 part of Union County. (2) The date of John's death in the sketch is in error. He died in Columbia (now Union) County. The Providence Church minutes contain the following entry, "On motion agreed to record the death of our beloved brother, John O'Steen, who departed this life on January 23, 1842."
John married Ada Weeks about 1787 in Carteret, North Carolina, USA. Ada (daughter of Silas Weeks and Zillar Hunter) was born on 25 Oct 1763 in Carteret, North Carolina, USA; died in 1852 in Camden, Georgia or Columbia, Florida; was buried in Price Creek Cemetery, Lake City, Columbia, Florida, USA.

There has been some controversy as to who are the parents of Phoebe. She is shown as other family member living in the household of Theophilus Weeks and Ann O'Steen when Theophilus applied for his Revolutionary War pension.
It has been said that Phoebe O'Steen Weeks is really the daughter of John O'Steen and Ada Weeks (sister to Theophilus). and that Ada died young and Theophilus took Phoebe into his house hold to finish raising, which would explain her name being Phoebe O'Steen Weeks. It could be that she was adopted. Nothing has been proven!!
Ada Weeks was the daughter of Silas Weeks and Zillar Hunter. She was baptized Jan 30, 1819 in the High Bluff Primitive Baptist Church.
