Hodges, Benjamin F. Mitchell & John W. Taunton selling their 3/5's portion, I find that the deed is dated September 1, 1859. > PLEASE REMEMBER - Macon County Courthouse burned in 1857, destroying the first 20 years of our records. This could make your questions as to how they received this land, very hard to answer. > In the 1852 Macon Co., Ga. Tax Digest I find: Henry Taunton owned 82 acres of land lot 221/1st Dist, AND > Joseph F. McGlamery, As Guardian for Orphan, Nathan Taunton owned 200 acres of Land Lot 221/1st Dist. > If the above numbers are to be accepted, the land lot supposedly only having 202 & 1/2 acres, in 1852 had 282 acres. > You will probably want to get a copy of Macon Co., Ga. Deed Book E - Pages 254 & 255. It goes into great detail about the land. It will not answer all of your questions but it will help to lay a foundation.. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Macon?admin> > >
