Is anyone familiar with this publication. It is supposed to contain over 13,000 names of persons who were issued passports. and the names were transcribed by a Dorothy Williams Porter. I understand that there was a passport issued in 1811 to a David Robinson,which is the name of my grgrandfather b. 1789. The first knowledge I have found about him was in 1813 when he enlisted in the war of 1812 and married his first wife, Mary Hodges In Goochland County,Va. These passports had something to do with travel in states: Tennesssee, Georgia, Mississippi,Va, North and South Carolina I have also found in the letters of Thomas Jefferson on the web, one written to a David Robinson, dated 1805 discussing various elements of Missouri with a reference to Captain Lewis. This has caused me to wonder if possible he was with the Lewis and Clark expedition.Thomas Jefferson was thanking him for writing about Missouri. I have read that the men on the expedition were supposed to have kept journals. It is really interesting reading. This passport thing is something new to me. Would like to hear from anyone with knowledge of it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please note: My new email address is [email protected] Please remove [email protected] from your address books and files so that we can stay in touch!

Lois, I have a copy of both the "Passports Issued By Governors of Georgia, 1785 to 1809" and "Passports Issued By Governors of Georgia, 1810 To 1820" but not the one you mention above. Only the second publication is indexed. However, by quickly glancing at the unindexed publication, I will state that there is a David Robinson mentioned in Burke Co., Georgia in 1805 as a character witness for Mr. Jno. Boykin. If you or anyone else would like more information, please contact me privately at [email protected] in case the information you need is not applicable to the Pace List.

Lois, I also checked Worldcat.com to see if the book was available in any local libraries. There are a ton of locations just in Texas. Check it out to see where the book is available in your area. There are apparently 5 editions, with the latest reprint in 2002. It was first printed in 1982. Also, there are some copies available on Amazon.com from new $200 plus, to used $87.

Yes, I've found my non-PACE ancestors with Spaish passports. I was told Spain thought bringing in American settlers under Spanish control they would keep America & France from taking over.
