Wow. I have fortunate drawers in the lotteries and had no idea I could learn more. I need to go get this book!

I always enjoy it when I have this kind of moment.

My 4th greatgrandfather, Johnson Randall, had 2 “draws” in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, but they were both blank. He drew 2 lots, 150 and 53 in the 1807 Land Lottery.

Have you seen the 1805 or 1807 books? I have the 1807 in hand, the 1805 is OOP.

@@JustGenealogy I copied what I have from both books years ago in a library, but somehow have lost the page numbers.

[@JustGenealogy]

Send me an email and I will see if I can provide you those page numbers.

Mastin and Thomas childers 1927 land lottery winners were my ancestors..

[@JustGenealogy]

I guess if I would have looked further I would have gotten the answer to my question. The 1827 lottery was the fifth one so you have to ask yourself did they try for any of the earlier ones.

My ancestor won a land lottery...

[@JustGenealogy]

Which one?
