John Averatt, 287 1/2 acres, Little Ogeechee River, Washington County,
Warrant No. 685, dated  May 17 - Executed  Oct 17, 1784
Plat Book F: 337 

Note two small streams are included branching off from the Little Ogeechee 
River (which was off the Ogeechee River itself).  These streams aren't named.

Land on the 3 sides are marked "Vacant".

Described as "mixed lands"

Additional Comments:
First Bounty land warrants were dated May 15, 1784

Bounties were awarded for 287 1/2 acres fro:
Private in Minute Battalions, Private in Militia, Refugee Private in Militia, 
Seaman in Galleys, Citizen, Deserter from British

Not sure which of the above, John Averett actually was.

Private in the GA Lin received only 230 acres.
