I hope these are not too many names to ask about; if so, just pick out what you would like to look up. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I came home from there (all twenty miles) bearing great gifts. The Colonial Records of Georgia, The Revolutionary Records of Georgia and the Confederate Records of Georgia (about fifty volumes), plus a little beauty titled A List of the Early Settlers of Georgia. This book includes excellent dates, whether each person came because they had to or because they wanted to and remarks about most of them, some not very flattering such as: " Watson, Joseph - An insolent vile man: tis said he has a grant of 500 acres, but I don't find when, or when taken up. Twice fyn'd for scandal; again fyn'd for assaulting an Indian, and afterwds. capitally convicted of killing one, but brought in lunatick. Is now out on good behavior. In the Colony the end of the year 1746." Also "Venables, Jo. - Upholster; embark'd 22 March 1736/7; arrived 3 June 1737. Went to Carolina a week after he landed in order to return to England. Went to Carolina 10 June 1737", and "Bradley, WIll. - Was sent to teach agricultr.: embark'd 20 Oct. 1735; arrived Feb. 1735-6. ! He had a grant of 500 acres 17 Nov. 1735. The Trustees sent him over to instruct the inhabitants in Agriculture, and are now (1739) calling him to account for malversation. The Trust servants were put under his care, but were taken from him 1739, lives Inmate Savannah on Lot 37. A Rioter in open Court 20 Oct. 1735; and convicted of stealing a calf & hog 2 Nov. 1737 which he confest. He since put his own mark on the Trustees cattle, & killed others impunedly which is felony. He took possession of his 500 acres 26 April 1739. He stole out of the Colony to avoid settling his account 28 May 1740 & ran to Carolina. Run away 28 May 1740." For those interested in the Duplin, North Carolina HOLLINGSWORTH line, I found an interesting entry in the History of Screven County (Georgia): "The first Hollingsworths in this part of Georgia were three brothers, Valentine, Zebulon and Timothy, who moved down from Duplin County, North Carolina, about 1759. They were the sons of Stephen Hollingsworth of that county and were the greatgrandsons of Valentine Hollingsworth, a Quaker who came to America from Ireland in 1682 to join William Penn's colony . . . . . . .[much more]". Let me know if you need a copy. Dee For details on sources used, refer to this link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncbladen/lookups.htm
