Could look in reference #271 (St. Phillips) to see if there is the surname Mattuce or Prevost in it. Thank you very much. Beth Browne

I'm new to the list and looking for any and all information on the above listed surnames. I believe them to belong to a group of families that moved to GA after the Revolutionary War on bounty lands given to them for fighting the war. Diana in Las Vegas
