The land lotteries of 1827 and 1832 reflect the names of those who drew free land. This is an important research resource, particularly since the 1790-1810 Georgia Census records did not survive. We can pinpoint the location of our ancestors in 1805, 1827, 1802, 1803, and 1832. Another resource is the tax digest. It is important to make a list of all of those surnames being traced and track the families in the lotteries and tax digests. After that, the deed records help solve a lot of issues.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a10a2d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4a10a2d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c87fe0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c87fe0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1820landlottery.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1243\" alt=\"1820landlottery\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1820landlottery.jpg 405w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1820landlottery-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38ea8a7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"38ea8a7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-494d0fe e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"494d0fe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-363cd88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"363cd88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who were the Guale Indians?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d443c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d443c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI do not think that anyone has traced the origin of these Indians. The word Guale is referred to by historians as the Indians who occupied the coast of Georgia and the Sea Islands dating back to about 1150 A. D. During the 16th century, Spanish occupied Florida attempted to establish its Roman Catholic missionary system throughout southeastern Georgia. Some of the early journals indicate the conversion of reluctant tribes. The friars would establish churches and, when they would return to the region, write in their diaries that the church buildings were destroyed. During the late 17th century and early 18th century, the Guale society suffered epidemics of new infectious diseases and warfare from other tribes. Some of the surviving remnants migrated to the mission areas of Spanish Florida, while others remained along the Georgia coast. Joining with other survivors, they became known as the Yamasee, an ethnically mixed group. The archaeological digs in Georgia have endeavored to locate Mayan ruins, and the current belief is that the Creeks were descendants of the Mayans. Research into Indian ancestry requires a search of all available Indian Rolls and the Census on Georgia Pioneers.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93adbdb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"93adbdb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc52106 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dc52106\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mybooks-rotated.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1188\" alt=\"mybooks\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mybooks-rotated.jpg 240w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mybooks-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae74071 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ae74071\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a6ad86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a6ad86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Abstracts<\/h2><ul><li>1803-1822;

Cobb. Clarke County was established in 1801; named for General Elijah Clarke, of Revolutionary War fame. A year after the cession of the Clarke County land from the Cherokee Indians in 1783, the State endowed the future University of Georgia with 40,000 acres of land near an old trading path. The old school pre-dates the Revolutionary War but was not created by the Georgia legislature until 1785. Abraham Baldwin was chosen as president. The school began the same year as the county, 1801, with the purchase of land for a campus. At this time, the surrounding town of Athens had not been formed and would only be formed once the first class graduated in 1804. Among the earliest students were men who would shape the state&#8217;s future before, after, and during the Civil War. Early Clarke County Settlers: William Shaw, Joseph Clarkson, Joseph Kramer, William Echols, Richard Lewis, Richard Cole, Absalom Echols, Joshua Baker, Bussel Brown, Jeremiah Melton, Wyley Roberts, James Hayes, William Daniel, Edward Hagin, Samuel Jackson, Clark Hudson, George Evans, Levin Hudson, Wootson Allen, Joseph Henderson, John Dorman, Peter Calaway, Edward Moor, James Downs, Jonathan Hightower, James Keeth, Isaac Downs, David McCulloch, James Naull, Gabriel Hubbard, John Burnett, James Gilmore, David Duke, Harry Mitchel, Drewry Brewer, Henry Grier, and others.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bc0e57 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9bc0e57\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-712d4e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"712d4e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1262\" alt=\"lucycobbinstitute\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lucycobbinstitute-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e23452 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2e23452\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a45632c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a45632c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Clarke County Wills, Estates, Marriages, Newspapers, Tax Digests<\/h2><h2>Tax Digests (digital images)<\/h2><ul><li>1802,1803, 1804, 1805,1810, 1815<\/li><\/ul><h2>Traced Genealogies of Clarke County Families<\/h2><p>Barber, Barwick, Clarke, Day, Ernest, Freeman, Hagin, Humphreys, Hunnicutt, Jackson, Parr, Sledge, Strong, and Thomas<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-426","county","type-county","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
