GEORGIA CHEROKEE LAND LOTTERY, 1838

Of all the states, Georgia has the distinction of being the only
one to
distribute parcels of land by lottery. This database is a listing
of persons
allotted land in 1838 from what was considered "Cherokee Land."
Located in
the
northeastern part of the state, over 18,500 parcels were
distributed by
lottery in that year. Each record of this collection contains the
individual's name,
residence, and county. Additionally, it provides the district and
section
number of the parcel of land. For researchers of early Georgian
ancestors,
this can
be an enlightening database.

Containing a
Numerical List of the Names of the Fortunate Drawers in Said
Lottery." New
York: - , 1838.
