Troup County Wills, Deeds, Marriages, Maps

Troup County was formed from Creek land cessions of January 24, 1826, and March 31, 1826. The 1827 land lottery distributed lands in Georgia to persons residing all over the state. Be sure and research the surrounding counties of Muscogee and Talbot. The county seat is LaGrange, Georgia. Generally speaking, those families found in the border counties of Alabama eventually found homes in Alabama. That is the next place to search after discovering an ancestor in Troup, Muscogee, and Talbot counties.

The Kolomoki Indian Mounds in Early County, Georgia along the Chattahoochee River is an excellent example of what a Platform Mound looks like. But one has to imagine that it was enclosed by a palisade fence and surrounded by a large plaza and villages. The earthen works are part of the Kolomoki State Park. The Avery and Potts Indian Mounds at Helen, Georgia (Troup County). There was once an archaeological site in Troup County, east of the Chattahoochee River. Harold Huscher began a small investigation in 1966, which led to more excavations during 1967 and 1968. The site once consisted of two platform mounds. A platform mound is any earthwork or mound intended to support a structure or activity. The Avery Mound was eroded by cultivation and weathering, but sufficient evidence remained. To the south of the Avery Mound, was the Potts Mound which still contained some evidence despite the fact that the field had been bulldozed for field leveling. The mounds were surrounded by a large village area, dispersed with pottery remains. Also, a 300=foot palisade line was found running along one side of the Avery Mound which revealed a carefully constructed fortification structure. The evidence of a large (burned) rectangular building with an octagonal roofing frame was found on the north margin of the Avery Mound.
