I would love to hear from anyone familiar with the deeds written in Wilkes co, GA in the period around 1802.
My family has a mystery deed, where the children of one family were deeded quite a lot of household belongings by two men. The children were not listed as orphans; their father was not noted as "deceased" and their mother was not mentioned. The oldest child would have been about 11 at the time of the deed.
The children and various relatives are known to have lived in the Wilkes and Greene county area from about 1780 until shortly after this deed.
