Sources

• 1789 Wilkes Co., 200 acres headright , on Broad River (Vol. Q, p. 166).

• James Lee and George Glazener each bought 100 acres, for 30 pounds each, from Thomas Hendron on Tillet' Creek in November, 1790 (Wilkes Co. Deed Book GG, 1790-1793 p. 376 and p. 364). Hendron had acquired the land as a grant in 1784 (Georgia Colonial and Headright Plat Index, 1735-1866, Book G, p. 184). Tillet's Creek joins the Broad River just south of the property where Giles lived.

• 1792 - James was given a headlight grant of 200 acres on the Broad River (Wilkes County Deed Book WWW, pp. 268 and 269).

• 11 November 1793, James and his wife Sarah sold their 200 acres, now a part of Oglethorpe County, to Samuel Shannon for a mere 25 pounds (Oglethorpe County Deed Book A, p. 215). They presumably still lived on Tillet’s Creek.

• In November, 1795, William and Mary Lee sold what had originally been James’ 100 acres on Tillet’s Creek to Alexander Elliott (Oglethorpe County Deed Book C, p. 64). We do not know who William and Mary Lee were, nor when they obtained title to these 100 acres. Sources in Russell Co., Virginia:
