Because of unclear titles, it was necessary for the federal government to acquire much of this land through court proceedings. This book is a compilation of names, family relationships and other information found in the records of those proceedings. The titles to most of the lands were found to be so poor that proceedings of condemnation had to be taken to the Federal Court before good titles could be obtained. The condemnation process required that an attempt be made to locate all parties who might have an interest in or claim to the land in question. The genealogical data this process produced is invaluable to the researcher. Information was accumulated that has not been found in any other records to date. Most of the transactions affecting the Land titles occurred in an earlier era and heirs of the deceased landowners were sought. Both the maiden and married names of many female family members can be found. The addresses of those who moved away also offer possible migration locations for family members. Although the land involved in this book is almost totally located in Rabun County, Georgia, the parties listed are located all over the United States, from California to New York and from Montana to Florida. Anyone who has ancestors in the early 1800s who lived in the tri-state area of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina would be interested in the information contained in this book. Over 6,000 names arranged in up to six generations of family genealogies are listed. Married names for females are included, as well as county and state of residence for most individuals. Contains a fullname index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Lewis Koyle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2001), 2007, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 426 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788417566\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-K1756\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":402486853648,"sku":"101-K1756","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-k1756-1500px.png?v=1777223875"},{"product_id":"101e-fi0336","title":"1840 Rabun County, Georgia Census Index","description":"\u003cp\u003eContinues the series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrances T.

The Georgia General Assembly passed an act to create the county in December 21, 1819 becoming Georgia's forty-seventh county. The northern border of the county is the boundary between Georgia and North Carolina. The county is named for William Rabun, who served as the 11th Governor of Georgia from his election in 1817 until his death in 1819. In 1828, the Georgia General Assembly transferred a portion of Habersham County to Rabun County. In 1838, the legislature redefined the Rabun-Habersham county line. In 1856, the legislature used portions of Rabun and Union Counties to create Towns County.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is a reprint of two older books on Georgia.
