Thank you for this information. This is what I have found also. I wonder who the father of Lewis is and who Huldah was? Since they were in Gordon Co GA do you think they married there or in SC? Any ideas? Thanks again, Mary

Here is how I would look for them. People typically went to Georgia from SC or NC. I haven't seen many who went to NC, then to SC then to GA. So, I would bet they got married in Georgia and that is where I would start looking. Which then makes me think about the lottery lists. In the information about Gordon County, I found this quote, "An act of Dec. 3, 1832 divided the Cherokee lands into ten new counties -- Cass (later renamed Bartow), Cherokee, Cobb, Floyd, Forsyth, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Murray, Paulding, and Union. " It says Gordon County was formed in 1850. So, it would make sense they show up in the census of 1850 in Gordon County. I know that some of my ancestors who were granted land in the Cherokee drawing ended up on that land by 1838. So, it would make sense that they were there sometime in the late 1830s, before their first child was born in about 1841. That would make Lewis in his 30s and Huldah just about marriage age when they went to Georgia. The questi! on is initially whether Lewis was a lottery winner himself or whether he was the child of one. I'm betting one or the other is true. There are lists and maps online for the Cherokee land lottery. Here is the order in which I would go find this: 1. I would find out which counties Gordon was formed from. 2. I would find the list for the 1832 Cherokee land lottery in Georgia and see if Lewis Walker is listed for whatever county Gordon (my husband's ancestor, by the way) was formed from. If Lewis is not listed, I would start researching the other Walkers (of which there are something over 50). 3. I would find out how early records are available for Gordon County or the county from which it was formed and join the lists for those counties so I could find out more about how things happened there. Happy hunting. -----Original Message----- From: Polo6565@aol.com To: SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 13:11:23 EST Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Walker help needed Thank you for this information.
