PLAC Census Dade Co., GA, page # 83; Deed from James, Charles ( Jr. ), Adonijah, Jesse and Adler Hudlesley, who are referred to as sons and heirs of the " late Charles Hulsey" all residents of Greenville County, South Carolina. Date of Deed:
7 June 1793. The land involved was a land that Charles Husley bought from Thomas Lewis on 9 March 1790. We can assume that Charles died sometime between 9 March 1790 and 7 June 1793. The deed from Thomas Lewis was to
Charles Hudlesley, which together with the spelling in the 1793 deed, creates some confusion as to the early spelling of the name. By 1800 most of the Hulsey family had moved to Franklin County, Georgia. The Franklin County Tax Digest shows all of these names except John and Adam. Joel first appeared in the 1818 Franklin County, Georgia Tax Digest as having paid a poll tax of .31 cents ( 2 1/2 mils, ) a tax required of each male after reaching age 21. In the 1820 Census of Hall County, Georgia part of Franklin County the Hulsey's were living in what became Hall County December 1818.

Joel and his wife Clarissa lived in Hall Co., GA until after the 1830 Census. Joel, wife and eight children in the 1830 Hall County Census.
Must have moved to Tennessee after the 1830 Census. Joel Hulsey shows in the Hardin County records with William born there in 1836. In the 1840 Census of Dade Co., GA the entire family was there. Dade County, GA carved from Walker County 12/25/1837 located in the northwest corner of Georgia. It was the last frontier east of the Mississippi River with the Cherokees removed to Oklahoma. The Hulseys had lived close to the Cherokees for over 50 years since the Revolutionary War.
Joel and his entire family were still living in Dade Co., GA at the time of the 1850 Census. Most of his children were married at that time and had children of their own.

Jennings Hulsey
Jennings Hulsa was living in Greenville District, SC in 1790, as were Charles, James, Doney( Dewey?)
and Audiler, all spelled Hulsa or Hulsea. In 1800, Jennings was enumerated there, aged 26-44, as were Charles, Jessee, of the same age. In 1820, Adley, Adonijab, Adonijab, Sr., Charles(2), Dewey,
Elijah, Hiram, James, Jesse, Joel, Micajah and William Hulsey were enumerated in Hall County; and Asa in Clark County. Jennings, a Revolutionary soldier, had moved to Henry County, GA, by 1827, when he drew Lee County land granted August 22, 1834. However, between 1827 and 1830, Jennings moved to DeKalb Co., GA. He had sons William, ELi and Green, and several daughters. Eli J. married Charlotte, daughter of Merrell Collier from North Carolina, and their son William H. Hulsey was elected
mayor of Atlanta in 1868. ( Garrett, Atlanta, vol 1, pps. 34, 801). Others of the family listed in the 1827 lottery were James and Jesse in Hall County, both veterans of the Revolution, who drew respectively land in Carroll and Troup Counties, granted Feb. 18, 1833 and Jan. 12, 1829, Elijah of Hall County, Elijah of Habersham County and Asa of Fayette County. The names Hulce and Hulse, found in Virginia,
appear to be the same as Hulsea and Hulsey.

Joel and Clarissa Barnwell Hulsey moved into the newly opened Cherokee lands in northwest Georgia from Franklin Co., GA. When the first census of Dade County was in 1840, he, his eldest son Wiley, and three of this sons-in-laws were listed as heads of households. The families were as follows:
Joel and his wife, Clarissa Barnwell; ** Isaac and Cynthia West; Matthew and Malinda Cunningham ( He was reported to be the second Sheriff of Dade Co.); Wiley and Mary Ross; Allen and Haney Smith; Joel and Clarissa's six youngest children were still at home: James Harvey, Simon, John Wesley, Julia Ann and William.
These families are among those that were an important part of the settlement of the County but moved on leaving little trace of their ever having been there. Between 1800 and 1860 there were at least two wagon trains that left Dade County for Texas and the Hulsey clan was part of this migration. They moved to Fannin County, Texas between 1850 when Wiley's son was born, John H., was born in Georgia and in 1851 when Hiram's daughter was born in Texas. The eldest Hulsey daughter Cynthia, and her husband Isaac West, Sr. ( my ancestors) were the only members of the Hulsey clan left in the county in 1860.
Complete Compilation:
Joel and Clarissa Barnwell Hulsey moved into the newly opened Cherokee lands in northwest Georgia from Franklin County, GA. When the first census of Dade County was in 1840, he, his eldest son, Wiley, and three of his sons-in-laws were listed as heads of household. The families were as follow: Joel and his wife, Clarissa Barnwell; Isaac and Cynthia West; Matthew and Malinda Cunningham ( He was reported to be the second Sheriff of Dade ); Wiley and Mary Ross; Alien and Haney Smith. Joel and Clarissa's six youngest children were still at home: James Harvey, Simon, John Wesley, Julia Ann and William.
These families are among those that were an important part of the settlement of the County but moved on leaving little trace of their ever having been there. Between 1800 and 1860 there were at least two wagon trains that left Dade County for Texas and the Hulsey clan was part of this migration. They moved to Fannin County, TX between 1850 when Wiley's son , John H was born in Georgia and 1851 when Hiram's daughter was born in Texas. The eldest Hulsey daughter, Cynthia and her husband, Isaac West, Sr. were the only members of the Hulsey clan left in the county in 1860.
Joel and his sons and sons-in-laws were active in buying and selling land in the newly organized county. All land records prior to 1849 are lost but he had a deed recorded on Page 37, Book C of Dade County Mortgages and Deeds ( the oldest extant deed book in County ). He sold the south 1/2 ( 80 acres) of Lot 176 in District 10, Section 4 near Squirrel Town on November 22, 1849 to his son, Simeon Hulsey.
In one of the first extant deeds in Dade. Joel sold a " negro woman and child, the woman named Mary, the child named Houston" to Isham Perkins who sold her to Andrew H. Johnson " of Walker County on February 22, 1842. Since the woman and child had been given to Clarissa Hulsey by her father the Revolutionary soldier, Robert Barnwell, the Hulsey children had to relinquish their rights to the woman and child. This deed, recorded February 26, 1849, was signed by most of the adult children at this time.
On November 28, 1850 he sold Wm I Cole, Lots 112 and 141 in District 10 in Section 4 that he had bought from Peter Upshaw. Wiley Hulsey and sons-in-law, Matthew Cunningham and Allan Smith, witnessed the deed. It was in this deed that the Hulsey children were listed. The Dade county deed books recorded many deeds signifying land transactions by the men of the family.
Joel had married while living for a time in Tennessee. In the 1850 census he was living with this second wife, Rebecca Morrow, and his sons, William, 13, and David, 3, was quite well to do and owned real estate valued at $ 2,500.00.
John, age 22, and his wife, Naomi ( Burnett or Barnett ), 22, were living with their baby son, Joel, age 6 months in house no: 21. Apparently Naomi was a sister to Rebecca Barnett Huisey, age 24, wife of Simeon Hulsey, age 25, who was living in house no: 111 with their son, Joel, 2 years old. Simeon owned $ 500 in real estate.
Wiley, Joel's third child and eldest son, age 30, was living in house no: 34 with his wife, Mary ( Malinda Ross ) age 32. Their children, born when the 1850 census was taken were: Rebecca, 14: Clarissa, 12: Mary, 10: William, 8: Joel, 7: and Martha 5. Wiley had $ 1,500.00 in real estate.
Malinda, 33, the second daughter and husband Matthew Cunningham, 43, were in house no: 48. Matthew, the second sheriff for Dade County had been born in Tennessee, owned $ 2,000.00 in real estate. Their children in the 1850 census were: Sarah, 13; Leroy, 10; Joel James, 4; and William, 8 months.
Thaney and her husband Alien Smith, and their children; Jacob, 9; Amanda, 8; Melinda, 4; and Britiana, 3, were in house no: 114. Two doors away in house no: 117 was Hardin Hulsey, age 18, and his wife, Caroline ( Deerberry), age 18 and in house no 118, a single brother, James W., age 26. According to the mortality census for 1850, one of three year old grandchildren died in Dade in 1850 but we do not know the name nor which one of his children were the parent.
All of Joel and Clarissa's children were in the 1850 Dade County Census with the exception of Julia who married Marion Smith. By the time the 1860 census was taken the only part of the Hulsey clan left in Dade County was the Issac and Cynthia Hulsey West family. Their descendants of the Lancaster, Whetzel, West and Countiss families still live in the area. ( Submitted by Paul R.L. Vance, Messa, AZ 85206-2214).
