Beth, Jimmy is correct in his information. District 21 was one of the gold districts. In 1832 surveyors laid off the Lottery area into 4 sections with land districts about nine miles square. The land districts had lots of 40 or 160 acres each. Doesn't this sound similar to range, township and section? District 21 was split between Cass (now Bartow) and Cherokee Counties. It was the bottom right corner of Cass County. In township terms - District 21 was the SE section. Looking at a GA road map the lot would be east of Cartersville and could be located in or very close to Red Top Mountain State Park. I hope this helps.

Scroll down to "Historical Maps" and click of 1839. > This will show you the location of District 21 in the lower right corner of the county. Some of the other Cass/Bartow maps may give you more info. Notice that part of this district is in Cherokee County to the east. > If these maps don't give you all of the info, let me know and I'll send an address for the Bartow Co. Gen. Society. > Good luck, > Jimmy Woodyard
