Silas Emmett Lucas, The Second or 1807 Land Lottery of Georgia; Rev. Silas Emmett Lucas, The Third or 1820 Land Lottery of Georgia; Rev.

Silas Emmett Lucas, The 1832 Gold Land Lottery of Georgia. Note: The 1805 list shows all registrants. The later lotteries only show winners of a lot of land. The original counties in the lottery were enormous and were relatively quickly divided into smaller counties. Most winners appear to have sold the land they won to new settlers. It is possible to find the actual land grants and sometimes subsequent deeds for the lands that were won. A good knowledge of the formation of Georgia counties is essential to track down subsequent deeds. Note: The 1805 Land Lottery registration was in 1803. A "P" means the person drew a prize, i.e. a lot of land. A "B" means the person drew a blank. An orphan or a single man received one draw. A married man got two draws. A widow received one draw. She did not need to qualify as a widow of the Revolutionary War veteran. Note: |
