                                        Little River Land Plats

        (All plats cited are from the records of the Surveyor General’s Office
in the State of Georgia.)

Buckner Dukes - The 100 acre plat surveyed for Buckner Dukes is found in Plat
Book H, page 373. A warrant for the survey was issued by William Downs Esq.,
Senior Justice, on July 12, 1784. The survey was executed on July 16, 1784 by
John Nelson, D.S., and Samuel Creswell, C. Surveyor.  This was a Headright
grant, No. 722. The actual grant was issued to Buckner Dukes on February 9, 1790
by Governor Edward Telfair and registered on February 17, 1790. (Grant Book TTT,
page 112) The plat is small but very interesting. It is bisected by Mercer’s
Branch of Hardin’s Creek. Mercer Creek is named as such on Andrew Wilson’s plat
as it enters the 500 acre plat of Silas Mercer, and on the plats of James
Whatley and Buckner Duke after it exits Silas Mercer. The neighbors of Buckner
Duke are shown as Mulkey on the east and Jackson and Querns on the south.
