Unlike other Land Lottery books on Georgia, this book the 1820 is NOT and will not be available for reviewing on the internet. If you want it, you will need to buy it here in book format. This lottery created 8 new counties: Appling, Early, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Irwin, Raburn, and Walton, which in later years have been further divided into some 48 other counties. This book is arranged in alphabetical order by surname. This book lists 30,000 fortunate drawers. In general, the researcher will be able to gleam many different types of information from the Georgia’s Land Lotteries. The eligibility requirements of each of the Lotteries offer genealogist legal evidence of citizenship, resident in Georgia, age, family, and material status, physical infirmities and possibly service in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 or Indian Wars.
