All of the records were not destroyed by fire. Washington County, GA is a wonderful place to research. They have all the original early census, marriage, probate records; most of the land records were reconstructed after the war. They also have a wonderful Genealogy Society. bp ----- Original Message ----- From: David Manning <dmannin@centurytel.net> To: <GAWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2000 9:38 PM Subject: Isaac Washington Hello Group, I have just joined your group and believe I might be kin to the Isaac Manning in the 1820 Census of Washington County, GA.
