By: Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Pub. 1968, reprinted 2022, 382 pages, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-585-8. Unlike other Land Lottery books on Georgia, this book "the 1820" is NOT and will not be available for reviewing on the internet. If you want it, you will need to buy it here in book format. This lottery created 8 new counties: Appling, Early, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Irwin, Raburn, and Walton, which in later years have been further divided into some 48 other counties. This book is arranged in alphabetical order by surname. This book lists 30,000 fortunate drawers. In general, the researcher will be able to gleam many different types of information from the Georgia's Land Lotteries. The eligibility requirements of each of the Lotteries offer genealogist legal evidence of citizenship, resident in Georgia, age, family, and material status, physical infirmities and possibly service in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 or Indian Wars.

Even before the 1805 Land Lottery drawing had begun, pressure was mounting for Georgia to gain control over the remaining land between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. Less than three months after the conclusion of the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, the United States purchased 2.2 million acres from the Creek Indians. The 1807 Land Lottery was structured almost identically to the 1805 Land Lottery, continuing the district and land lot survey system and repeating the use of a land lottery to distribute the land. The purpose of this book is to document the record of title transfer from the state of Georgia to an individual for each land lot distributed through the land lottery process in 1807.
