Nell, Henry County did not exist in 1790. It was Indian Land. The 1790 Census for the state of Georgia was destroyed. The first Census for Georgia is the 1820.

I would also like to know if there is any book published on the migration patterns in the late 1700's that I could purchase. Perhaps there is a web site that shows this migration pattern. At this time I believe my early family landed in PA (probably now DE) and later migrated into SC & GA. It is possible they came into Charleston SC too. I now believe it is possible that my GG Grandfather James T. Adair was born in Henry Co. GA in 1790 and his brother William in 1799. What I guess I really need is to study the very early history of GA. Can anyone recommend a good source for this information? > > Nell Adair Lewis -- Jim Golden -- Tifton, GA -- The Friendly City ============================================================ GOLDENGOLDINGOLDINGGOULDENGOULDINGOULDINGGOLDENGOLD Oooo oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( ( _ / \ _ ) Footsteps in the Sands of Time!
