This was from another list, but very pertinent to any GA researcher,
so I am passing it on to you on GA lists:

I have found annoucement in one of the early GA newspapers dated Jan
11, 1809 that John Dunham and Jesse Campbell were administering the
estate of James Bradford as next of kin and they were selling the
estate of Jane Bradford.
Jesse Campbell was the son in law of John Dunham. How were they
related to James and Jane Bradford? And how was James Bradford
related to John Bradford who married Mrs. Anne Baisden in 1785?
thanks for your help

I am looking for any information on the Samuel CLARK who appears in the 1830
GA census in the following counties: Henry, Jefferson, McIntosh, Elbert, and
Montgomery. My Clark family apparently descends from Samuel CLARK who
migrated with his family from Edgefield, SC. Any information on these
Samuels would be appreciated.

Lena,
Please tell us a little more about your Stephen Daniel
Strickland & Poppell/Popwell connections. I know my
Anderson line had ties to both the Strickland & Poppell
or Popwell lines..... It just may be a very distant branch,
but, I'd love to share more of those lines with you.
Hopefully, we may find a connection after all!
What was your 4GGrandmother's name? When did
Stephen Daniel Strickland live (born/died)? Do you
have ties to Tattnall County?....this is where my Anderson
connects with Strickland
DALE,
Thanks for another clue in this puzzle, 100,000 acres does get your
attention. You are right, it is a little amazing to read of these vast amounts of
land and wonder as to the disposal. I have the copies of the orginals from the
Archives but what was not in these records was explicit locations or some sort
of plat. That would be interesting reading as well. No indication SCOTT was a
surveyer but with that clue I will look further.
It was also suggested that during the Revolution GA could not
Lena,
You know, I've never real-ly studied this 1850 Jefferson County census
before. I'm finding all sorts of interesting things. Possibly something
you can use here.
Yes, in 1850 in Jefferson County, FL Stephen D. & Rachel Strickland were in
the household #75. THEY were Stricklands, while the children were all
listed as JOURDANs. (Quite interesting!) But, moving down finding who else
was listed as a JOURDAN... Hmmm.... A DAVID JOURDAN born unknown (perhaps
un-naturalized?) was living in house #116.
Hey, Everyone.....
I'm writing because I need a little assistance. I was updating the McIntosh
County website last week and my computer blinked out on me and I lost
everything I was doing except for one paragraph.
If you have any McIntosh surnames, histories, census information, etc......I
would love for you to submit it. Be rest assured that any submissions will
be properly credited to you.
Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I am new to the list & am researching Stephen Daniel Strickland & Poppell/Popwell (etc.).
What is the best way to perform research in this county for Grandfather Stephen is an elusive little alien :).
I know he married his first wife, my G4Grandmother, in this county but seems to disappear. He lived in several other counties during his life, which adds to elusiveness.
Sincerely,
Lena

Lena,
I just figured out that this PAUL POPWELL (35 yrs. old in 1850 b. abt. 1815)
could very well be the son of Paul Popwell (b. abt. 1790). I was thinking
that it was this older Paul Popwell down in FL. Apparently, this is family
that repeats naming the men one after the other.

Hello again! Daniel Griner (G3Grandfather) married first Rebecca Strickland (G3Grandmother) daughter of Stephen Daniel Strickland by Mary(?) 'Polly' Popwell/Poppell. Jordan P. Griner was one of Daniel & Rebecca's sons (or as I call them Grandfather Daniel & Grandmother Rebecca). Sorry for any type of confusion.
Stephen Daniel & Rachel are listed as having a daughter Easter Jourdan Strickland, if this is true then my guess would be that the census taker mistook Easter's middle-name

A WILLIAM SCOTT, was granted on December 18, 1794, by Governor Mathews
50,000 acres of land in McIntosh County, GA, Grant Book KKKK, page 307-356. The 50
grants were a thousand acres each. The 1785 land grant law passed in the GA
Legislature intended for each head of a household to receive grants of not
more than 1000 acres but was not enforced. Most grants totaled less than 2,000
acres. McIntosh County was a part of Liberty County until 1793 and these may
be original grants for the newly

Stephen Daniel married a Poppell/Popwell in 1812 McIntosh County, she is said to be Mary Poppell/Popwell daughter of John, I just list her by last name since I do not know if it is true her first name was Mary (Polly) & her Dad's name was John. Grandmother Strickland died before 24 January 1844 when Grandfather Stephen married Rachel SHAW Chauncey/Chancey in Tattnall County, Georgia with his brother Henry listed as the JP in the record.

Yes, not naturalized would mean they are not yet registered as a citizen.

Laura,
Thank you for the Popwell/Poppell information, just wish I could find whom Grandmother Popwell/Poppell belonged to for apparently she was the not the daughter of John as so many list her to be.
Grandfather Stephen Daniel & Grandmother Popwell Strickland had more than Rebecca. In 1820 they had two sons up to 10 years of age, one of these would be Uncle Stephen Solomon the other I do not know, of course Grandmother Rebecca, one female 16-26, & what appears to be one foreigner not na
Hi Folks,
I've seen something similar in the granting of such large acreages
during the 1790s. William Rose Reddock (not a relative of mine) was an
Assistant Surveyor in Camden County during that period and he was
'granted' some incredible amount of acreage amounting to over 100,000
acres (it's an eye-opener when you first encounter the record).
But, this was during the period when those regions were being first
surveyed and the state was laying out defensive works & militia
districts, etc. - all a

Hey Dottie,
Mostly, Revolutionary War troops were pormised land for the service in
those areas where there was land available. Georgia was one of the new
states with available land. So, many people moved into Georgia
following the war. And amongst them were veterans who received land
grants due to their service.
U. S. Senator and Governor James Jackson also had to deal with the Yazoo
land fraud starting shortly after this time. During that period from
immediately following the Revolutionary War
