Troup County Georgia Land
Records
The land lots were distributed by
lottery to the citizens of other older counties, and nearly all of the whole
lots were so distributed. The whole lots contained 202½
acres. The undistributed lots and the fractional lots were sold by the state
afterwards, some as late as 1850. Some of these original grants were
afterwards declared fraudulent by the courts, and the original grant
canceled and the lots resold.
