While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
These are payments allowed and paid to the
citizens of Georgia under the fourth article of the Treaty
with the Creek Nation, on the 8 February, 1821, for losses
occasioned by Indian depredations; also, a statement of the
claims disallowed, and the reasons for the rejecting the
same, exhibiting, separately, such as have been rejected on
account of their being for property destroyed, and such as
have been refused payment, in whole or in part, because they
were for interest, damages, or the increase of slaves
carried away, and distinguishing them from such as have been
disallowed for defect of evidence.
Note: If
your ancestors is found in the list of
payments, then they probably are NOT Native
American. These were payments made primarily
to white citizens for "depredations" caused by
Native Americans.
