Wanda, I really apprecite the alphbetized 1820 census index. It's already made my job a lot easier. You wouldn't beleive how many times I've had to hunt through the entire census, because so many names are not in the index. Maybe if you're willing, and the listers would like it, we could do another one after the holidays. Thanks again, Sheryl

Hello Listers, A few weeks ago Angelfire send out emails that they were adding banners to our home pages. I did not think much about it but last week when I began to go to various pages on my Wiregrass Roots home page, I discovered counters missing and the ones left had been rolled back. Upon further investigation I discovered all the materials on my great-grandfather's page (James Monroe Henderson) was missing. Only the picture remained. All that work, all that html language I had to learn to do that page, gone. Fortunately, a cousin was able to help me get the materials back on that page. Be aware of this if you have your web site with Angelfire. The email I sent to them was answered with a form letter which was useless. Thank you. Christopher <A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/ga/wiregrassroots/">Welcome to C Boyd's Wiregrass Roots I</A>

Well Brigham, What an out-pouring! No, I don't appologize for what my ancstors may have done either. And the space of 150 years has a way of changing people's viewpoints, beliefs and morals. Sure I believe slavery and the "stealing" of Indian lands was immoral, but it was also legal at the time. I wonder if 150 years from now, our descendants will look back on us and say, " Sure I believe abortion is immoral, but it was legal at the time"?That's my opinion, and you know what they say about those.......everybody has one. Sheryl

"I was told that if you killed any Indians/Native Americans that resided on the land that you could have it but that it was not true in all cases. Is this true? V. Jenkins Answer: No. It just sounds politically correct. The land lottery was an act of Congress. Stop and think about it. "I propose a bill that would give land to people who kill any native Americans on it." I don't think so. For Revolutionery war service against the British in the fight for independence . . . I think so. We don't have to rely on "someone who says" or "I was told." The laws proposed and passed in the United States are a matter of public record. Try the Library of Congress Web site, and search for Land Lottery. Everyone has been dumped on: Vikings, Romans, and others invaded England, changed the customs and religeon, took the land, property, and women. Today Japan has posession of Olympic medals won by Koreans after the Japanese invaded and occupied Korea. They say that since they occupied Korea at the time, the medals belong to the Japanese. Christians lost to the Muslims the place where they believe Christ was born and crucified. The Jews had lost their country until 1945 when it was more or less re-created out of other countries in North Africa. My family farm, and many others, were taken by the government in 1939 to build Ft. Stewart Army Post. My grandmother, whose husband had just died, had to move off, got nothing for the crops in the field, and waited eleven months for the government to send the check. Another grandfather's stepmother cut him out of the will. My father died when I was seven. So what.\ I don't know of anyone, or any ancestry, who hasn't been dumped on. A person can use it as an excuse or get on with life. You can bet your tuschnakoyatah I don't have any complexes about anything that happened 100 or more years before I was born. A person can drag it through their life if they want to. As for me, I'm free at last, free at last -- thank God almighty I'm free at last. I didn't rip off a continent from the natives, and I didn't enslave a race of people either. You see, my wife and I don't vote the same, and my kids don't always listen. If I were influential enough to do all the stuff I'm supposed to be ashamed of, I would have just had a lot more sex and money instead.

What exactly was the land lottery? I was told that if you killed any Indians/Native Americans that resided on the land that you could have it but that it was not true in all cases. Is this true? V. Jenkins

Doo you have a list of the children? Per Southern Kith and Kin is shows that they were orphanned in 1803. I'm trying to find back up that Theophilus Scarborough, born 1802, an orphan of Burke County, was the son of Lemuel. I've got no other record of a Scarborough orphanning children in that area or that time frame. Steve Stephan

Steve, Not much to be found on Lemuel: His orphans won land in Early and Irwin Counties on the 1820 land lottery. Joel Scarborough also lived in J Wards militia district with Lemuels children. Sheryl

Steve, Don't have the time now to list the entire 1805 (earliest) Land Lottery Register, but will list the Scarboroughs for you. This is not a list of winners, but is the list of registrants-pretty much everyone in the county who was eligible for the lottery.

Hi, Noted that WILSON DREW omitted from A thru D listing. I know for sure that he is in 1820 Fed. Census of Burke Co., Pg. 25 of census ( pg. 394 of "Families of Burke County, 1755-1855 A Census". He is my 3rd gr-grandfather. Thanks

Heads of Households beginning with K thru O... PLEASE NOTE: These records were taken from The Families of Burke County, 1755-1855. They were typed from the census in the book. The census may have been transcribed incorrectly in the book, or the census taker possibly spelled it the wrong way. Many times the census taker didn't ask for a spelling, he or she simply spelled it the way they thought it should be spelled. Sometimes, the old cursive is often misinterpreted when being transcribed. I have found that in some of my own family. This list is only to be used as a starting point for your research. You should always locate a copy of the actual census record and verify the listing before you cite it as a source. Happy Hunting!

If they're on pages 287 - 298, they're in the 1805. That's the earliest Lottery shown. Jason E.
