Hi Everyone,
I am pooling together info from several sources and need some help.

Like the ad for a good men for the Marines, I am looking for a few good
people to tell me what happened in forming the counties in Georgia.

Who know the story on Burke, Emanuel and

Peele researchers look very close for any ties please...
============
In the following deed, the Father (Mills) sells land to a son (James) and
the land also joins land of another son (Levi).

!Deed from Mills Peel (Peal) to James Peal. Dated 28 Nov 1839.
Consideration $170.00. 170 acres, Burke Co., GA. Land granted
was part of land granted to Joseph Dickey. Bounded south by _ _ Wallace,
east by S. B. Wallace, North by Levi Peel and West by Mills Peal. Witnessed
by S. B. Wallace and Matthew S. Brinson. Recorded 22 Nov 1884. Mills
signed with a mark, a "P"

==============================
!1840 Census, Mills and sons were probably still in Burke Co., GA but I do
not have the census list.

Can any one fill in the families for me in 1840 Census?

===============================
Now in the 1850 census there is a problem, Mills was still in Burke county
but catch this, he was also in Emanuel County???????

!1850 Census, Burke County, GA:
Mills, 66, North Carolina;
Delilah, 57, NC;
Edmund, 33, NC;
Dempsey, 31, NC;
Thomas, 27, NC;
Mary A., 16, NC.,
Ezekial, 5;
Margaret 3;
Jane 1.
and, Burke, Candau (?) (female) age 15.
==========================

Notice this.... and look who is living next door to each other.
