Hey Richard B. Yes, that is what I was saying, these were reserves granted to Friendly Creeks for service in the Revolutionary War, Cherokee Wars and War of 1812. My ancestors received a 2000 acre reserve for being scouts in the wars against the Cherokees and against the British. The reparations were for farms taken illegally because of a law enacted by Georgia, that no Indian could own land. The Friendly Creeks were theoretically State Citizens and therefore not subject to removal to Alabama, Florida or Oklahoma. Without warning, a troop of militia or a sheriff's posse' would show up at a Friendly Creek's farm or plantation. The legal occupants would be evicted without any compensation whatsoever, and marched at gun point to the nearest state line. The county would then auction off the land to the highest bidder. Generally, these dastardly acts were instigated by greedy planters who wanted cheap land with which to expand their plantations - or county commissioners, who needed to supplement their tax receipts.
