William Redd (b.1760s-d.1840's) of Burke Co GA
Due to lack of records, it has been hard to piece this family together.
Below is my theory.Any additions or corrections welcome.

In 1840, Holland Red appears to have added a wife & four children to his home, including two born in the 1820's (stepchildren?)
In 1850, Jannet Red has James Nunez (25) in her home (her son?)
Burke Co GA deed (1847):Charles Nunis to my "beloved niece" Genet Red"my interest in the estate of Frances Galphin (dcd); two negroes: Ned (age 40) & (male) (age 35).Charles Nunis (b.1779SC) is listed as "mulatto" in the 1850 Burke Co GA census.

The 1840 census indicates that he has a wife, son (b.1830-1835), son (1835-1840) & daughter (1835-1840); plus two older females.
Is Mary Red (b.1795) listed in the 1850 & 1860 Burke Co GA census his widow?
I have William Augustus Redd (1838-1911) & Cornelius A Redd (1832-1868) as possible sons of Berry Redd; but they COULD be children of Noah Redd.
Children of NOAH REDD and MARY ?? are:

Green B Redd (1808-1853) left a will in Richmond Co Ga naming nephew, Cornelius Redd, & niece Lethe Knight.In 1850, Cornelius Redd was living with Lavina Knight, who had a daughter Lethe Knight.So I assume Lavina Knight is Green B Redd's sister.
