I looks like your "Rev soldier" drew in both the 1805 and the 1827 lottery. I have some information that might help you on my Taylor County page....(even though it is specific for Taylor County, there is enough history there, that you'll be able to apply it. There is land lottery information and some links to learn more. It also explains the meaning of the LISTS in the various books about the Lottery. All the original Land Grants are in the Archives.....only when the land was sold AFTER the Draw or grant, does it begin to show up in the county deeds. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/gataylor.htm Click on Land.... and also on the links listed under this one... Remember that JONES was originally BALDWIN....so whenever you're looking for Land Lottery information for land in Jones it would have been when the Baldwin land was drawn. I want to create something similar for Baldwin County....but just haven't gotten to it Hall's MAP http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/hallsmap.htm is the best one for helping you understand these "original counties" and how they were divided up. Keep asking questions if you don't find what you need. After much persistence, I was able to track down the deed where an ancestor of mine sold his "drawn" land. Virginia
