I live in Georgia, have a few family lines in Early/Clay Co.'s (Killingsworth and Ivy) and although I am no expert, I can give you a little info and maybe help to get on the right track. If memory serves, there were about 6 different land lotteries, starting in 1805 and the last one in 1832. I believe the one that involved Early Co. was in 1820. There is some information about the land lotteries at the following website: http://www.sos.state.ga.us/Archives/rs/lotteries.htm It will give you a history of the lotteries in general, has a place to click on to see history on each individual lottery, as well as information about how you can obtain the records of the lotteries. I hope this might help. Kay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
