RABUN CO., GA - COURT RECORDS - Record of Poor Children, 1857 ==================================================================== Submitted by Dawn Watson From the book "Record of Poor Children 1857 - 1862 Rabun County" in the Probate Judge's office at the Rabun Co., GA courthouse in Clayton. No page numbers were included in the original, and are assigned here to assist the researcher in finding the relevant page in the record. The letters "I" and "J" were indistinguishable; an occurence of one in the original record is denoted here as "I/J.", unless the exact initial was known by the transcriber. In the last two districts (Tiger and Warwoman), the children were not listed; instead, the head of household was given with the number of eligible children to the side. [Page 3] Chechero Dist.
