There is no listing in the Cherokee County records in Deed Book A thru G for a Caleb Oliver. The dates for these books are thru April of 1847. I am sure there are some deeds recorded later for the earlier years. Also there is no 'fortunate drawer' in the Gold Lottery of 1832. It must have been on the Land Lottery of that year. Wish I could help further, but the first seven book is all that I have abstracted. Wyndell Taylor >Sometime after the Georgia Land >Lotteries occurred, a Richard F. Thompson, Thomas S.
