Georgia land Lotteries: (RootsWeb)

The Georgia Land Lotteries were probably a wonderful way for our ancestors to acquire land, but they are a nightmare for the historian. Where one can usually count on families traveling by groups to new locations, the lotteries sent them to the four quarters. We find that our men, Jonas, Reuben, and Hiram had ended up in the adjoining county of Gwinnett. They registered in Gwinnett in the lottery of 1827. Hiram won land in Dist. 16, Sec. 2 of Muscogee Co.; Jonas won land in Dist. 9, Sec. 5 of Carroll County; Reuben won land in Dist. 6, Sec. 1 of Lee County. We do not know the disposition of these lands at this time. Sewell was still in Gwinnett Co. by 1850 so perhaps, he didn't win a draw. Hiram and William W.won draws in the 1832 Gold Lottery.
