Notes:

Birth order of these children is different for each contributor.

Notes:

Many descendants believe he died at Ft. Mims (30 Aug 1813).

Carol Middleton's comments: In the book, "Massacre at Ft. Mims", by David Pierce Mason, there is this: an early visitor after the killings noted "Old man Moses steadham, and old man Tarvin must have really put up a fight, considering how they looked". William left a will dated 1812. It should be noted that Dr. Marion Elisha Tarvin does NOT say William died at Ft. Mims.

He is often listed as having been born 1744 as the first son of William Tarvin who moved to Georgia.

William's children were born beginning in 1790, so he was probably married in 1789.

Because of this age difference, some researchers speculate there was another generation between him and William Tarvin of Charles Co., Maryland who moved to Georgia.

He died in 1813, possibly in the Ft. Mims Massacre. See Carol Middleton's website, Among the Creeks. In particular, http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmamcrk4/smfm15.html#anchor1033675 .

According to the "Reports from the Court of Claims", William Tarvin II died in 1810. This is based on the testimony of Diego McVoy that was provided to the House of Representatives by Justice of the Peace Basil Mesher (Mobile County, Alabama; 21 Apr 1834). The heirs of William Tarvin II presented their claim to 960 arpents of land, with the help of Neil Smith (Administrator of the estate). The claim was not confirmed by Congress until 7 Jun 1858.

Carol Middleton's note: William received land grants in 1787 from Spain in the Mississippi Territory (Baldwin Co.). He settled his family in Baldwin Co., AL in about 1789. Their family were some of the many who died in the terrible Ft. Mims Massacre during the Creek War.

15 April 1789: Guillermo Tarvin, 45, wife 35. (Guillermo is Spanish for William)
