Mary, Sandersville Courthouse has lots of Will information and late records. The people in the courthouse are EXTREMELY helpful. I did a land search last year there and the one who was helping me stayed late to find what I was looking for. Very nice people. Have you checked the Will books at the courthouse?

I have come to the conclusion that working with land and Deeds is the only way to trace ancestors, when Wills are not available. It will give a clue, anyway.
