The Georgia Department of Archives and History has made available unbound headright and bounty documents files for the years 1783-1909, on the below listed Web page. Also known as the Warrant files, these manuscripts reflect the various preliminary stages in the granting of headright land. In addition to a few other odd papers, the following types of documents are included in these files: warrants, vouchers, certificates, petitions, and powers of attorney. The files are arranged alphabetically by surname with an individual folder containing all papers relating to any one name regardless of the location of the land. http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/web/pdi/rg003/003-04-005.htm
Reading the list below, how do I get a copy of these files? I would like to have the one on Thomas Payne.
