Where was Junipers land in George I know it was in Emanule county just where did they have a plantation are just land and they framer it and what did they raise? Thank you Marilyn Vance Hall

Marilyn, I don't think we'll ever know the exact location/s or extent of the land that Juniper owned. Too many records have been destroyed in Emanuel County for that. He did call it a plantation in his will, and I suspect he owned a considerable amount of land. I included information on some of it in the gedcom file I sent you. There are plats for some of the land Juniper owned and for some of the land owned by his sons, but I don't have copies of them. I know there are some because Inez Brett says she has them,she gave me a list of them, and you could probably find them at the courthouse. This area of Georgia wasn't settled really until after the Revolutionary War, and never really got as established in the plantation economy as did the other Southern states of the original colonies. If he named his plantation, I don't know what it was called. You might notice he did have slaves, but only 9 or 10. We know he owned a lot of land because he seems to have left land to all of his 13 sons. Quite amazing, really. I know that he owned land in the area of Hall's Bridge Road and Norristown, including the land where the cemetery is located where he is buried. Some of the land extended up into the area around Ebenezer Church, and in fact my 2great-grandfather, John Choice Hall, donated some of the land for the present day church. Some of the older children apparently lived in Laurens Co for a time, but I don't know where that land came from. Juniper Jr and John Choice owned land in Jefferson Co, but may have purchased that themselves. One of the descriptions of Juniper's land and of his son William say near McGar's Mill and Daniel Creek. I'm not sure of the location. The military district that Juniper lived in would also be a clue, I don't have that information handy. Of course he won some of the land in Early/Thomas Co in the land lottery, but owned more than one person's draw, so he must have purchase some of it. Some of his sons also participated in the land lotteries, or were granted land for military service. As to what crops, I'm not sure, maybe cotton and tobacco, those were the big money crops. And of course probably corn. Maybe a little livestock. And he may have been into the lumber/turpentine industry to some extent,as this area was covered in pine forests. You'll notice that Lyman went into the turpentine business down in Florida. Juniper did have a long time job as Constable, or Sheriff - the best I can tell he was the constable of Montgomery, then Emanuel, for a good long while. I'm sorry I can't answer these questions any better for you, but that's about all I know.
