Note: Isaac Suttle became a Baptist preacher in Elbert County, GA around 1803. Isaac’s wife inherited 1,725 acres of land in 1791 on the north side of the Apalachee River in that portion of Franklin County that became Jackson County then Clarke and in 1875 Oconee County. Suttles continued to acquire land in Clarke County and moved to that county around 1804 where he became minister of the Freeman’s Creek Baptist Church. Around 1817 he moved to Cahawba County, Alabama Territory. See Isaac Suttle, Frontier Baptist Preacher, Michael A. Ports, 2012.
