    1. Re: Lottey Lots in Georgia's Map.
    2. Eugenia, Could you please tell me the date of the map you posted with the Lots in the Counties of Georgia. Harris and Talbot is still inside of Muscogee County. I am interested in the 1827 Georgia Lottery, Harris, Talbot and Muscogee. I am also interested knowing which of the Lottery winners came in thru Whitesville, Georgia. 1827 Whitesville had Stagecoach Roads near Jones Crossing that led to Columbus and other Counties. In 1830 Whitesville, Georgia was a booming little town with homes, Churches, schools and saloons.(Whitesville was also a gathering place for ministers.) Dose anyone on the Georgia List know of any other Stagecoach Roads our ancestors could have came in on and settled in that area? My gr gr grandpapa settled in Hamilton, Georgia after buying land in Harris, Talbot and Muscogee County. He was listed on Census in Hamilton, Georgia. I think Alabama Road in Waverly Hall used to be a Stagecoach Road. My gr gr grandpapa came to Harris County from Gwinette County. It appears that Whitesville, Georgia's Stagecoach Road ran form North to South and the Alabama Stagecoach Road ran from East to West Georgia. Whitesville's ancestors came from North Georgia and North and South Carolina and Alabama ancestors traveled from East Georgia. I stand to be corrected. If there are other ways, please let me know. Before 1830 (no trains) these Stagecoach Roads had heavy traffice, with many Stagecoaches traveling at one time. Where were the other Stagecoach Roads and what were their names? I would love to hear any stories about the time frame 1827-1840. Thanks for any help. Sandra maiden nand Waldrop Muscogee County
