George Lounsdell Rudd
Deed of Personal Property, Screven County, GA
Transcription by Linda Rudd

The following transcription is taken from the microfilmed
copy of the Deed as found in the Screven County, GA deed
book where it was registered in 1797. Note that George L.
Rudd's mark does appear on this copy as an "L". A
different hand written copy of this deed without the "L"
mark was recorded May 4, 1804 in Charleston District,
South Carolina and appears in the State Miscellaneous
Records as a Will of George Lounsdell Rudd. There is no
additional testimony in the recording of the deed in
South Carolina to tell us who was responsible. I assume
the deed had been recorded upon the death of George
Lounsdell Rudd and became known as a Will, by either
George Jr. Rudd or Ely Rudd as they were appointed
custodians for the property.
