Hi, Jones County, GA was not in the 1805 Land Lottery but what was included was the first five land districts of Baldwin County, GA and Jones County was created from Baldwin County in 1807 but I do not know which Land Districts were moved in Jones County. This was basically a headright lottery in that one had to live in GA for over a year to draw in this1st GA lottery. John R.

I have not located or verified this record. Colson ADAMS was the brother of my GGGGrandfather, Peter ADAMS. Peter married Lydia Ann LNU (evidence points to Lydia Ann also being a CASON). Peter's GGranddaughter, Rachel Viola ADAMS married my GGrandfather, Francis Marion DANIEL. Francis's father, James Wesley DANIEL married Mary Elizabeth WATKINS, and her line can also be found in Pitt, Edgecombe, and Duplin Counties. Mary's G-grandfather, William WATKINS can be found in Pitt records and this line also married into the CASON line. As such, my interest in placing all the Robert DANIELs is strong, as I feel that one of them is my line. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Runforf471@aol.com> To: <DANIEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [DANIEL-L] That Old Song of Mine > Do we know that a Robert DANIEL married a CASON girl?
