• Notes

  John Proctor was the other prominent Pedro founding family. John and his family came to Florida from Dillon, South Carolina during the middle 1800's. They first settled in North Marion County due to high water crossing the trail. They were delayed several weeks due to this high water. Later he settled in Pedro. John had a family of eight (8) children when his wife died. He needed help to raise his younger children. He was told of a young woman who was looking for a home due to her parents being killed in a wagon wreck shortly after their arrival from another state. He search for this young woman and found her in Oxford. He hired her to keep house for him. They eventually married and she presented him with a set of twins at his age 75. One of the twins was Jesse and his sister was Hattie. They went on to have three (3) additional children. John Proctor was the Great, Great grandfather of this writer. Family members who are now deceased have passed down these stories. Ralph Dillon Hackett ------------------------ John Proctor enlisted in 1862 in Capt. Joseph Eicheberger's Co., 5th Battalion Florida Calvary of the Confederate Army in the Civil War. He was wounded at the Battle of Olustee on February 20, 1864, near Lake City, FL. The battle lasted 7 hours. The battle ground is now a state park near Lake City, FL. From the Voice of South Marion newspaper (date unknown). Plans have been made for a dedication ceremony May 6, a Saturday (time will be set later) of the Confederate marker at the grave of John Proctor at Pine Level Cemetery. John Proctor was wounded at the Battle of Olustee and his descendants are too numerous to mention. One, Fred Proctor of California, is planning a trip at this particular time. It is hoped the word will get out to the many others related to John Proctor. Much appreciation was expressed to Bob Watkins who did a beautiful job of setting this marker. The marker was dedicated on May 6, 2000 at 11:00 A.M. ------------------------ Children of John Proctor according to a letter from his Great-Great Grandson, Fred G.
