Hello list, I am looking for one or two things. One, I show that John W. Raines was given land lot #70 in the fifth district, second section of Cherokee Co (now Gilmer Co.) GA. Are there any records of this 1832 Land Lottery winning? Second, it shows that John W. Raines was from Elbert Co., GA. I find him in the 1830 Elbert Co., GA census to confirm this fact. I find him in Cherokee Co., AL in the 1840 census. I would like to know if there is a deed that would show the sale of land after 1833 (he most likely wouldn't have been able to sell it until 1833) and before 1840. I appreciate any help someone can give me in attaining copies of any of these deeds. Blessings, Jill Watters Rains Gadsden, Etowah Co., AL Jill :] "I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods I will sing praise unto thee." Psalm 138:1
