Additional Comments: I am a descendant of Nathan P Singletary and I found a reference to the above act on the internet using Google but no description or purpose for the Act was given. (See UNC-CH's "Documenting the American South" project website) The full text of the Act was found at the Washington Memorial Library in Macon, GA. and is posted here to satisfy the curiosities of other Google- using descendants ;-) File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/schley/history/other/generals632gms.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.2 Kb
