Hi Sandy, Let me start with the basics and then I'll see what I can find for you. How do you know that John did not have two draws? He was, indeed, entitled to them, - he fulfilled the criteria for two draws in every way: i.e. Married man, with wife and/or child, 1 year residence in Georgia, citizen of United States - 2 draws. As far as I know, there were no records keep as to the unsuccessful drawers. If there were, for example, 1000 land lots available and two thousand people, a thousand of those people would not be successful or "fortunate drawers". John may well have had his 2 draws, but the drawing of land by anyone was strictly a matter a chance. He might well have failed to win on either draw. Remember that I do not have books on civilian lottery grants, but I will be glad to check for you at the archives on Monday. After the 1805 Lottery, all other lotteries specified that a "fortunate drawer" in a previous Land Lottery" was excluded, but he certainly could have bought and/or taken assignment of anyone else's fortunate draw. Hundreds of the "wins" were immediately sold with the fortunate drawer being in the name of the qualified person drawing for a lot, and then by the time the lot was granted, the name of the owner had changed. I'll try to find you something wonderful.

Would you please check reference # 8 North and South Carolina Marriages to see if ther is a listing for Robert Scott. The bride may be Elizabeth Hunt. That I do not know for sure. The marriage would have taken place in Pendleton District, SC. If you find more than one marriage for Robert Scott during the years of 1835/36 please give me the list.

Would you check and see if there is a Hugh Brewster or a Sheriff Brewster in the GA land lottery. They would have been in Bartow/Cass Co or the forerunner of that county.

Thank you, Dee. Blessings, Laura Herndon

Heck..for this, I'll nominate you for a whole town!! thanks a ga-gillion.

Laura, The only thing I see that might be wrong with that document you have is that it doesn't have a "granted" date. A lot of fortunate drawers didn't follow through on their grants, for whatever reason, but I'll certainly check it out Monday.
