Dan Shadburn's CHEROKEE PLANTERS IN GEORGIA lists them which might include some Creek-mixed families Mary Elizabeth Young's REDSKINS RUFFLESHIRTS AND REDNECKS goes through the full extent of those records in a brief way but mostly for AL and MS from the removals forward. ----- Original Message ----- From: Evelyn S.

So to be certain of the title history of a supposed Creek ancestor, you really must go to the Clerk of Court's Deed Room and search the chain of deeds. Most of the reserves to Creek soldiers will never show up on treaties. Richard, I guess I need to re-phrase my question: Do you have a list of the Creeks in Georgia who received land grants AND which treaty in what year RESULTED in their being given a land grant? What criteria did they use to determine which Indian got land and which didn't? I did not mean the treaty itself actually listed names, etc. I am looking for specifics after the Creek land was relinquished BY treaty and then divided into individual allotments. I can locate all the treaties in history and I can locate the land which was being given up by the Creeks by dint of that treaty. The only names found on the treaty, of course, are the names of the signers. I cannot locate actual lists of individuals who received the land each time except for the Treaty of Ft. Jackson 1814. Has anyone searched through the records of the Clerk of Courts and listed the names and locations of the reserves? Like I said, I have a few from other land allotments but not a complete listing. Following the Treaty of Ft. Jackson 1814, David Brydie Mitchell, Indian Agent (and later governor of GA) revisited the Creek families who had made claims for depredations during the Creek Indian War 1813-1814. He took depositions from each one of them stating they had actively supported the U.S. during the hostilities and corroborating statements from neighbors and friends that they knew that person to have lived there before the war and to have supported the U.S. during the war. These affadavits provide wonderful family information. Are there documents like these for land allotments following other treaties? Hey, my knowledgeable friend, you know from our past correspondence that I am about genealogy through history.........
