Thanks, Mary > > ============================== Dear Mary, The Surveyor General's office in the GA Dept. of Archives has the originals of land deeded to Revolutionary soldiers. I have a copy of the land given to my ggg gpa, Elisha Walker, in Washington Co. for Rev. service. You can request a search by mail, but if you can, you'll do much better ( and faster) to go there yourself. It's located in Atlanta on Capital Ave. See: http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/rs/hbg.htm#hg Walker Baumgardner Researching in Wash. Co: Walker, Stephens, Pope, Davis, Hunt, Brett, Russell, Miller
