GA Captain (Angus) McCurry’s District believed to be between the years of 1793-1806 by the GA Department of State when it was filmed on 01 Aug. 1960. Since assumed Samuel Crow’s name appears here, I assume the years to be closer to 1801-1803, since his assumed son, William Thompson Crow Sr., was born on 29 August 1801 in SC, and next assumed child, Samuel B. Crow, was born in GA, c1803. Name Waters County To whom Granted 1st Adjoining Land or surveyed of Samuel F. Gerrold Savannah Elbert Richard Jones James Prothro Ditto Cedar Cr.

John Tweedle’s District, succeeded by Hugh McDonald, 10 Oct. 1790. It would then appear to have become Captain Angnus McCurry’s Dist., and by 1820 the John Dobb’s District re: 1820 Census, Dobbs District, Elbert GA, where many of these same names still appear in 1820. Of course assumed Samuel Crow 1 was living in Franklin Co. GA c1818, re: Tax Digest Records and property deeds, with Samuel Fitz Gerrold (aka: Fitzgerald) and Moses Haynes (above) witnessing Samuel Crow1's purchase of property from Isaac Merchant in Franklin Co. GA, Deed Book HHH, pg. 40-42 c1818. The Shackelfords connection: Assumed Samuel Crow (1) purchased his Elbert Co., GA property from Mordecai Shackelford (above) and one of his two Franklin Co., GA properties from Mordecai’s sister, Elizabeth “Elisa” “Betsie” Shackelford that married James Ballard. Almost 90 years later, William "Willie" Cornelius Shackelford, the great grandson of this Mordecai Shackelford, married William Thompson Crow Sr.’s Grand daughter, Eliza Lucinda "Lou" Dobbs, the daughter of James Terrell Dobbs and Amanda Melvina "Mandy" Crow, the assumed Great Grand daughter of my assumed GGG, Samuel Crow (1). The Dobbs connection: Lott Dobbs, who was living near by at this same time, c1801-c1803, in Captain Morrison’s Company (District), along with many other surnames in the tax record above, is the common ancestor to James Terrell Dobbs above that married Samuel Crow 1’s Great Grand daughter and Susannah E. Dobbs that married Jesse M. Crow, the Grandson of assumed Samuel Crow 1 and the assumed nephew of William Thompson Crow Sr. High Lighted names: These names are just of interest and have linkage to my Crows, sometimes directly and married into my lines. Anyone researching Samuel Crow 1 should beware of these high lighted names, in my opinion, but they are high lighted primarily for my use in researching. Surnames: Many of these names also appear, some even with the same given names, for example; Ambus/Ambrose Dollar and Bobo, also appear in and around the Crows of Crowsville, Spartanburg Dist./Co., SC. What does it all of this mean, I do not know. I do think it establishes the fact that my assumed GGG Samuel Crow 1 came to Elbert Co., GA between late 1801 and 1803 and lived on Powder Bag Creek and the Savannah River, but where did he come from, and who were his parents? As usual, “Still Diggin.” Phillip Crow Friday, 28 June 2002
