"Gabriel Priest was born in 1782 and moved from MA to Camden County, GA in the early 1800's (Kipp and Brockman, 1967)."
"Records indicate Gabriel Priest was divorced from his wife Ann in Oct 1812, married Keleadra Ward in July 1813, was commissioned in 1816 Captain in the GA Home Militia - 32nd Dist Camden County (Rose Creek), appointed road commissioner for the Coleraine Road in 1820, and sold 650 acres of land and a sawmill on Spanish Creek in 1821 (Kipp and Brockman, 1967)."

"According to Blakey (1976) records indicate that in 1821-22 pioneers living in the Middleburg area included Jesse Carlisle, James Angus, Andrew Brennan, Albert G Phillips, Gabriel Priest, Roman and Francis R Sanchez, and the Brannings."
"Gabriel Priest; sons Granville, William, George and Erma; and and son-in-laws John Bleach (Blitch) and John Faulk served in the Florida Militia during the Second Seminole War..."
"I speculate that early in the Second Seminole War Gabriel Priest relocated to Black Creek area, though I am not sure of the date. Duval County marriage records show Gabriel Priest's daughter Amanda married John Blitch (Bleach) in Sep 1836..."
