http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/deeds/1827/surn-w1.txt 2 15 138 Waldrop, Greenberry Gwinnett County Caruthers Muscogee County The Capt Caruthers refers to the Militia District where he was living in Gwinneet County at the time of the drawing. He drew the land in Muscogee -- but remember this is Original Muscogee --- so land district 15 is actually in present day Taylor County. It would have been in Talbot before that...Talbot was formed from Muscogee right after that land lottery. LL 138 is Northeast of present day Howard. He may have sold the land.... and never lived there himself. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/talbot/deeds.html We have the early deeds (Deed Bk C & D) abstracted from Talbot County -- so you might search there. I believe that Carol Johnson has the Deed Bk A & B abstracted, and she would probably do a look up for you. Ask on the GATalbot list ....
