Georgia Land Lottery, 1827
The land obtained for distribution in the 1827 Land Lottery was officially
“purchases” on November 15, 1827, but the Creek Indians had to have vacated
the land by the beginning of the year. They
were paid $8,000 for land, which would become Muscogee, Troup, Coweta, Lee and
Carroll Counties. Five MULLINS
living in northern Georgia who received grants:
 |
MULLINS, Burton – resident of Wilson’s District,
Hall County, drew lot #231, District 16, Section 2, of Muscogee County, GA. |
|
MULLINS, John – resident of Wilson’s
District, Hall County, drew lot #17, District 4, Section 1, of Lee County,
GA. |
|
MULLINS, John, Sr. – resident of Hall
County, drew lot #142, District 4, Section 3, of Troup County, GA. |
|
MULLINS, William – soldier, Garrard’s
District, Hall County, drew lot #126, District 2, Section 5, of Carroll
County, GA. |
|
MULLINS, Clemmons – resident of
Howell’s District, DeKalb County, drew lot #101, District 3, Section 1, of
Lee County, GA. (This is obviously Clement) |
|
MULLINS, Osburn – resident of
Howell’s District, DeKalb County, drew lot #126, District 10, Section 2,
of Muscogee County, GA. |
At the end of 1828, Campbell County is formed from portions of several
counties including Carroll and DeKalb. There,
in Campbell, in the next couple of years the following recorded events take
place:
|
MULLINS, Salsbury marries Mariah
Andrews on December 1, 1829
|
|
MULLINS, Samuel marries Rachel Grey
on December 29, 1829
|
|
MULLINS, Bud signed as witness to
land transaction between Joseph Bradberry selling to William Stacks of
Campbell County, February 27, 1830
|
This is the first time the name Salisbury has surfaced, and his heritage has not
been researched. Samuel MULLINS is Bud’s son.
In searching for legal documents with Bud’s “X” signature, there
are only three. This one and the
other two are his RWPA and his will.
