HI REBECCA: THANKS FOR sending me this link! I saw alot of HOOKS who I KNOW are my ancestors and relatives!! Maybe you've seen my many prev. posts abt my PRUDENCE HOOKS, but I just KNOW she is related to all your HOOKS', but I just cannot seem to place her!! PRUDENCE HOOKS b. 1788 GA m. John HOLLEMAN b. 1785 GA THOMAS JEFFERSON HOLLIMAN m. NANCY SPIVEY (d/o Wm.).... TJ & Nancy in Putnam Co. *** Misc. info: Prudence & husband John Holleman res. in WILKES CO.,PUTNAM CO., WILKINSON CO. GA (and prob. early onin Wash.Co.) --- they always seem to be near WHITMEL, HILLARY (and maybe ASA) Hooks....so they MUST be related to them. I suspect that POSSIBLY she could be the dtr of WILLIAM HOOKS III, but census points to her being born in GA 1785 (not Duplin Co.NC), but could be in error! My WATKINS line is from Duplin Co. also, and is related to them, a bit down the generations a couple or so down. She could be dtr of or closely related to THOMAS HOOKS, Jr. ?? I would give anything to be able to connect my PRUDENCE HOOKS to a family! I just dont see her name anywhere, or a name that could be a NICKNAME for her.... If anything sounds familiar at all, could you let me know...? thanks alot. I appreciate it. THANKS MUCH, TINA/CA tina@tcsn.net *GREAT WEBPAGE!* >Hi!

How did they encourage people to settle in Wilkinson County area around 1803 etc.? Were there land lotteries, free land, homsteading? If so would there be a record of the "takers" to this golden opportunity to settle in central Georgia area?
