    1. Re: Burke Co. Land Lotteries 1803
    2. Pat, Those were Headright and Bounty Grants.Mills received 10 acres in 1806, and 20 in 1807. This is what he requested. There is also a West Woodard who received 58 acres in 1806, and Jushua, 310 acres in 1834. Mills and West Wood ward are listed on the 1805 Land Lottery register, and would have had to be a resident from at least 1802 to qualify. I can find no Woodard/Woodwards on the 1798 tax digest.Winners on the 1820 land lottery are Jemimah Woodward (won land in Appling Co.), Barnes Woodward (Appling), and Lemuel Woodard (Early Co.). There are no further listings for Mills. I have a Mary Hillis who married a Woodward and moved to S.C. I found this in an old church member register for 1854, andf there is a James Woodward (24), wife Mary A. (21), children William J F(2) and Welcome Y (3 mo) on 1850 census. Any relation? I also looked under English Crown Grants, and found nothing. Sheryl
