Hi, All. I'm new to Georgia genealogy and need help in getting started. I received the following information on my 5th g-grandfather but it had no documentation: "Alexander MILLS b. ca 1701/20, England, m. Alice GENT, b. abt 1738. Alexander died Oct 1777, Wilkes Co. GA . Alexander moved to Abbeville Dist., SC and then on to Wilkes Co., GA. About 1773, he was granted 150 acres on Pistol Creek, near Lisbon, GA, in old Lincoln Co. His will is dated 9/1777 Wilkes Co., GA and names his wife Alice and fourteen children." I looked on the map and in GNIS for Lisbon and Pistol Creek and they are both listed in Lincoln County (the northern tip). From the map on GNIS is does look as though Pistol Creek extends into Wilkes County. Where would I go to find out exactly where his land was so that I would know where to look for records? Also, what type of a grant would he have received in 1773? Harriette
