1832 Cherokee Country
Georgia Land Lottery

NOTE: Finding your ancestor in the following lists probably indicates that they were NOT Native American.

The Land Lottery dataset contains the names and residence of all the fortunate drawers in the Land Lottery of the Cherokee country, arranged by districts in numerical order, all carefully copied from the originals in the Executive Department and the office of the Surveyor General, designating also the lots which have been granted. The land was granted as a result of the Treaty with the Creek Nation. We have given the quality of the lots in some instances, but not generally, deeming it altogether unimportant, from the well known inaccuracy of the surveyors in classing their value, and from the additional fact that very few individuals engage in contracts for real estate until they are enabled by personal observation to place a proper estimate upon the premises. By reference to the numerical list, the drawer’s name and residence can be readily ascertained.

To those who drew land in this lottery — who are desirous of obtaining settlements in that section of the state — and more particularly to those who are extensively engaged in the purchase and sale of lots, this work is particularly recommended.

The fact of the existence of a record in this database, not does ascertain the fact that the grant was ever issued.
