The 1820 Georgia census does not include Franklin County), deeds and land records offer the only source of information for this county.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe records compiled in this book are important to those researching their African-American roots, those with ancestors who moved from Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, as well as many other counties in Georgia.  Keep in mind, if your ancestor fought in the Revolutionary War, he may have moved to Georgia in order to participate in the many land grants and lotteries.  Records included in this book are deeds from 1784 to 1811, as well as the 1807 and Cherokee land lotteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther books available by the author: “Ghosts of Kennesaw Mountain”, “Early Records of Columbia County, Georgia”, “Early Records of Warren County, Georgia”, “Early Records of Effingham County, Georgia”, and “Early Records of Liberty County, Georgia.”\u003cbr\u003eGood luck in your searching!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Badgley Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157114470640,"sku":"2940149257140","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149257140_p0.jpg?v=1763714082","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149257140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
