I sure need some help on this one. My g-grandfather was James W Webb b abt 1841 there in the Pendleton Dist SC he was the son of Elisha WEBB b 1807 married Nancy King b 1815 SC I have just found his wife's maiden name and I am praying that some of you can help. James W Webb married Francis (Fanny) WATES before 1870. I do not have the marriage record. Francis (Fanny) died in Troup Co GA June 25 1929. James W Webb died there in Troup Co also Dec 25, 1922. On the death cert for Francis Webb it is stated that her maiden name is WATES and her father was Charlie and mother Sarah. I cannot find a Charlie with Francis as a daughter but have some possible leads on Sarah. They could have been born in SC or NC or even GA. HELP!!!! Also, does anyone know who Littleberry Wates female b 1796 that I found living in GA in the 1800's. She is listed as mulatto. I suspect Native American blood or African American blood. Any help, ideas, suggestions will so much be appreciated!!! Thanks to all, Mary

Betty, One of the interests of genealogy is seeing how intertwined people and places are. I'm the one who shared the picture of the three young woman teachers of Shelby County, Texas, with you. My WALKER family was in Perry Co. Alabama. On the 3rd of November, 1835, in that county my great grandfather's sister Eliza WALKER married George TUBB.

Hi, for what it's worth, my Solomon Stewart had showed up in Lincoln Co TN about 1810-1811, and had alliances it appears with Moores, Harkins, Hogan/Hogins, McConnell, possibly Foster, and so on. By 1816 it appears that they are in AL, with definite showup in Marion Co in 1820-1820, thence 1823 into Tuscalloosa Co, and in 1829-1839 he's moved to Perry County. By 1834-1835 he's moving across the border from Gainesville into Kemper County, AL . Other that the fact that Perry County is smack dab in the Black Belt, I never could understand the certain but fragmented migration early on into Perry County. While researching Perry County, I was always intrigued at the seemingly heavy presence of Tubb's and Shackleford's. And, as I mentioned last week, the Floyd's, Stewart's, and Burfords, (and probably Aikens) were intertwined as well.

Troup Co GA? The main county seat is LaGrange also small towns around including one named Hogansville where I just recently found my Webb ancestors in 1920. There was a cotton mill there named Lannett Mills. It was setting right by a railroad that I know went to Atlanta and most likely many other major towns of the south. Hope this helps. Mary

Thank you for all this great info. Ties in with some of my gr gr gr grandfather. Who was in Troup GA around 1832. Gold Lottery. I found his info in a book. And got a copy. Where was troup GA now what area would it be in now? Sandel

I also found that many families moved from Abbeville District SC to GA around 1830's or just prior. And received gold lotteries, there is a red book 1832 Gold Lottery book I was able to obtain a copy to look at through inner library loan at my library. And has countless families listed. And I was able to obtain a copy of the grant for 25.00. Sandel _BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:BRISKEY-L@rootsweb.com) Seattle

Just an aside...the Ignatius Few mentioned below seems to be the brother of James Few. This James Few was murdered on the field by Governor Tryon at the Battle of Alamance in 1766. Tryon then hung more of the leaders and confiscated the land of those men and many more.It seems as I track my own cluster of families, that many who had already moved from VA to MD to NC were Regulators. After Alamance, they moved into SC for the duration of the Revolution. They are very hard to track as they were now near penniless. Thus , they had no land.When GA went "on the block" you see many Rev War Vets moving into the territory starting in 1784/5.Several in my family bought land from Few. I think the rates were reasonable. Perhaps that means they were with the family at Alamance...perhaps he just went with a volume discount to all...I don't know. Somewhere someone has printed broadsides of these land offers. One day an owner will realize what they have and we'll see it on Antiques Roadshow. Remember, GA started as a Trusteeship. 13 men on a panel decided to put up venture capital and fund the area as an investment...it did not start as a Colony. Oglethorpe was one of the Trustees. He put his body where his money was. He was actually good at the job. He marketed the state like a modern pro. Of course, after a while he sorta overlooked buying the land from the Creeks and Cherokees,,,The climate was so hot and unhealthy for the unprepared English settlers that they died like fleas. Thus, it took the desperate Rev Vets who had lost or never owned a farthing to run to the brilliant if fraud-ridden land hand out and finally make Georgia a viable community.

Sorry, part VI went twice... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maryellen" <mellenpatch5@cinci.rr.com> To: <SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] GA Bountys VI

Authority: Act of December 24, 1831 This act mandated that approximately a third of the 160-acre land districts to be laid out under the act of December 21, 1830, be designated as gold districts of 40 acres each and to be distributed in a separate lottery. Date of Drawing: October 22, 1832-May 1, 1833 Counties The original Cherokee Indian territory became Cherokee County by an Act of December 26, 1831. A law passed on December 3, 1832, divided original Cherokee County into ten counties: Cass (renamed Bartow), Cherokee, Cobb, Floyd, Forsyth, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Murray, Paulding, and Union. In the drawing of tickets and in the granting of the land, the area was treated only as Cherokee territory. It was divided between land lots distributed by the sixth land lottery and "gold" lots that were distributed by the seventh land lottery. Sections and Land Districts a.. The territory was so expansive that Cherokee County was divided into four sections, and each section was divided into districts. There were 33 gold districts, and each was divided into gold lots. First Section Districts 1-5, 11-15 Second Section Districts 1-3, 15-19, 21 Third Section Districts 1-4, 17-21 Fourth Section Districts 1-3, 16-17 Size of Gold Lots a.. 40 acres Grant Fee a.. $10.00 per lot Person Entitled to Draw a.. Bachelor, 18 years or over, 3-year residence in Georgia, citizen of United States - 1 draw b.. Widow, 3-year residence in Georgia - 1 draw c.. Family of orphans, 3-year residence in Georgia, citizen of United States - 2 draws d.. Married man, head of family, 3-year residence in Georgia (officers in the army of navy of the United States, 3-year residence not required), citizen of United States - 2 draws Persons Excluded a.. Any fortunate drawer in any previous land lottery who has taken out a grant of said land lot. b.. Any person who mined-or caused to be mined-gold, silver, or other metal in the Cherokee territory since June 1, 1830. c.. Any person who has taken up residence in said Cherokee territory. d.. Any person who is a member of or concerned with "a horde of Thieves known as the Pony Club." e.. Any person who at any time was convicted of a felony in any court in Georgia. Authority: Act of December 24, 1832 Date of Drawing of Land Lots: December 6 and 7, 1833 Date of Drawing of Gold Lots: December 9-13, 1833 Counties Original Cherokee territory and a handful of land lots not placed in the prize wheels during earlier lotteries. Sections and Districts a.. Fractional lots of fewer than 100 acres from the 60 land districts and 33 gold districts. b.. Twenty-two undrawn lots from the previous Cherokee lotteries. Tickets representing lots and fractions from the 1832 Land Lottery were placed in the land wheel and those from the 1832 Gold Lottery in the gold wheel. They were distributed in separate drawings. It is likely that the whole lots from earlier lotteries also were placed in the land wheel. Size of Land Lots and Gold Lots Lots varied in size, but the fractional lots from the 1832 Land Lottery were fewer than the 100 acres specified in the laws authorizing that lottery. Fractions result from irregular boundaries that prevent measurements in square lots. Grant Fee a.. $18.00 per lot Person Entitled to Draw The remaining tickets bearing participants' names from the 1832 Land Lottery were drawn to match tickets drawn from the Land Wheel, and remaining tickets bearing participants' names from the 1832 Gold Lottery were drawn to match tickets drawn from the Gold Wheel.
