About Georgia's Ceded Lands
By Jeannette Holland Austin
The ceded lands of St. Paul's Parish was a land succession in colonial northwest Georgia in 1773. Today this land is known as Wilkes County which was created from the state constitution in 1777. But Indians were still in the area and settlers lived inside forts during dangerous times. On July 22, 1777, Tom Dooly and twenty-one men in two companies set out to recover some horses which had been stolen from their post by Creek war parties led by Emistisiguo. When they reached skull Shoals on the Oconee River, they were ambushed. Dooly was wounded in his hill and fell to the ground unable to move cried out to his fleeing comrades not to leave him to be slaughtered by the Indians. But they did. The Cherokee Indians were the chief original inhabitants of the territory which was afterwards formed into Wilkes County, but Creeks also lived there. This is the treaty which was in force in 1773/ The local tradition is that white settlers first resided in this territory as early as 1769; this fact was also verified by General Robert Toombs. The treaty made in Augusta in 1763 was made with the colonial governs of Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and hosted seven hundred Indians, chiefs of the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Cabarobas. This treaty fixed the northern boundary of the white settlements in Georgia. The line runs up the Savannah River to the mouth of Little River and then to the mouth of Williams Creek (now Taliaferro County). By 1773 the Indians were deeply indebted to the traders and could not pay. That was when another treaty was made in Augusta beween Governor Wright and the Indians which opened up Wilkes County for settlement and the new northern boundary ran from the northern part of Wilkes County (now Elbert) to Cherokee Corner as it was called. This is the territory which was ceded by the Indians to pay their debts. The debt amounted to about sixty thousand pounds sterling. The terms of this last treaty was to sell the land to white settlers and from the process pay off the traders. The land became known as Scotchtown. See Map

Chesterfield's Letters by Lord Chesterfield. Letters, Sentences and Maxims. Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, 1694-1773, had a fate generally misunderstood. Dr. Johnson, a poor scholar but in the prime of life, seems to have mistaken a delay in an interview, and to have abused his lordship very soundly ever afterward. To this misconception we owe one of the finest and manliest letters ever written. Mrs. Eugenia Stanhope, the widow of the recipient of these letters, sold them, enhanced in value from the earl's literary reputation, for 1,500 pounds! That was an immense sum in those days. Published 1894 in Philadelphia, 307 pp., indexed. A rare find indeed!

GRAVES. I am researching early Georgia to discover more about the Graves family. My gg grandfather was George Graves who married Lulender Gunn in 1840 in Warren County, Georgia. I can't find George's parents. There was a Thomas Graves Sr b 1729 Lower Potomack Hundred, Maryland. He and sons are listed on the 1790 Franklin County Census. I can't connect any of them to George Graves yet. One thing I know, is that Dr. George Graves who married Mary Scott June 26 1790 in Augusta, Georgia is not the father of my George Graves. My George Graves and wife moved west through Alabama, Mississippi, and settled in Wood County, Texas 1854-1858, where they are listed on the 1860 census. I am aware of a Graves family in Muscogee County Georgia and wonder if they are related to my George Graves? Eddie Graves, Wichita Falls, Texas. egraves@sw.rr.com

Here's what I know: --first they lived in Oglethorpe Co. --he died in Jasper Co., GA --his birth/death dates: 1745-1826 --There are a lot of Jasper Co. deed documents I've found on line between he and his sons, etc. --I assume he's buried on his land...which is hard to pinpoint. --He had sons Lewis, Daniel and William...just to name a few of his children. --His son Lewis married Avey Hill, daughter of Mordecai Hill. I've visited the county library in Monticello, GA but still can't find where he's buried. Thanks for anything you can supply. Susan Stancliff 770-939-4698
