                                        Little River Land Plats

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

Edward Hagan - The 200 acre plat surveyed for Edward Hagan is found in Plat Book
G, page 177. The warrant for the survey was issued on March 7, 1785 by a Land
Court of Wilkes County presided over by William Downs Esq., Senior Justice. The
survey had already been executed on December 27, 1783 by James McFarland and
Samuel Creswell, C. Surveyor, by virtue of an old warrant. This old warrant, No.
494, was dated December 24, 1783. The actual grant was issued to Edward Hagan on
April 22, 1785 by Governor Samuel Elbert and registered on April 30, 1785.
(Grant Book GGG, page 550.) The Hagan plat is notable because the plat shows the
confluence of Kettle Creek and Little River. However, the plat as depicted,
shows Kettle Creek running almost in a North to South direction for almost ¾ of
a mile until it joins Little River. In reality the Creek makes a sharp bend
before it reaches Little River. The error may have been enforced by relying on a
previous survey as opposed to resurveying the land in question. The neighbors of
Edward Hagan were Joel Phillips along the west bank of Kettle Creek and Robert
Day on the east.
