"3-393 WALTERS: (Also see WATERS No 398 below):
Robert Walters of Franklin Co, GA, in 1794 gave a power of
attorney to his son Robert of Pittsylvania Co.,VA, to sell his land
there. Robert Sr. of Pittsylvania--where he and William lived as
early as 1767--fought at the Battle of Guilford Court House.
Elijah, John, Robert (2), Thomas and William Walters were
taxed in Pittsylvania in 1782 and in 1785 they again appeared on
the tax list, with the addition of Clement and another Robert.
Clement also was a Revolutionary soldier. Clement, Eleanor and
Nancy Walters were enumerated in Habersham Co. in 1820, and
others were in Hall, Baldwin and Lincoln Counties. In 1832,
Clement Waters, the old soldier drew Cherokee County land
granted Dec. 14, 1838. Another Revolutionary veteran was
Peter Walters of Franklin Co, who in 1827 drew Muscogee
County land granted March 8, 1830. Two Roberts and Juda left
will in Franklin County. There were a number of marriages
including that of Jeremiah to Eliza Tate, and in 1827, Larkin
Walters was listed in the lottery. John R. Waters was in the 1827
lottery in Habersham County, where in 1850 William Waters,
born 1795 in GA, was enumerated."

"398. WATERS (See Walters, above): Matthew Waters was
called for the first Jackson County Jury, January, 1797. Thomas
Waters from SC was granted land on Savannah River Sept.
27,1773, and Matthew, also from SC, with one son and six
daughters, was granted land on Savannah the following Oct.13.
Both appear from time to time in the Wilkes Co. records and by
1783 Matthew was dead. The Matthew of Jackson Co. was
perhaps a son or nephew (?). Collison or Callison Waters had
land on Wardman's Creek in McKeever's district in 1803 and he
was listed in the 1805 Jackson lottery. In 1820, the family was
enumerated in a number of counties, including Wilkes, Elbert,
Washington and Oglethorpe. In 1827, James' orphans were
listed in Gwinnett County, and William was living in Walton
County. George M. Waters, who at this time lived in Bryan
County, later moved to Gwinnett."
