Additional Comments:
William Legwin of Newton County  drew this land in the 1827 Land Lottery 
and sold it the same year to David Dickson, also of Newton County. This 
land is in west central Meriwether and takes in the west half of the town of 
Odessadale, according to a DOT map of Meriwether done by aerial survey 
in 1984-1987. It appears to be about 2-3 miles from the Troup County line. 
This deed was transcribed from a photocopy of the original deed in the 
office of the Superior Court, Greenville, Meriwether County, Georgia.
