Ryan, i dont know if this will get you closer to how your 2G grand dad
got his land in Effingham. but was a fun diversion this morn thank you
for posting your interesting find. later in the week im going to look
into the docs in your 1st post

pg 63. says in the will Solomon Pendleton (1751-1787), he left the land in
Chatham and Effingham Counties to brothers and friends

Brian Pendleton and His Descendants, 1599-1910

pg 60.Solomon is the son of Edmund jr. #65
https://books.google.com/books?id=2WQGAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA53&pg=PA60#v=onepage&q=Solomon &f=true

My 2G grand dads name (which also is a big coincidence) Was George Washington Burns.

Awesome finds! From a philatelic point of view please preserve all envelopes and accompanying stamps, with the find date range there could be some really valuable stuff there.

I’ve come across a dozen envelopes with stamps. Ill post pictures in a couple days

Ryan, you have one of the most interesting finds I have ever seen. I can't wait to see all and more of what you have.

What is interesting to me is what cw has been finding. You see, although it is not related to your papers, I uncovered a lot of crookery and fraud related to my land here recently, and it involves a surveyor and a family whose descendants still own most of the land around here. I am sure the now deceased surveyor is involved in this area, which was settled originally in the late 1700's and first explored by Iberville.

Finding all this has somewhat squashed my faith in honorable and honest folks. Those documents are interesting as hell.

Amazing to me someone would take door knobs, etc. and leave behind the most valuable stuff; the documents you have.

A member of my family kind of did the same thing after the death of my great grandparents. She took the big screen t.v. etc, but left these gorgeous old drawings and musings done by previous ancestors. I'll bet the t.v. has been in the dump for years, while I have two of the books.

Some people have no sense of value. Please keep us posted.

Wait a minute. Holy Smokes. I live in "West Florida" (Louisiana), which appears to be involved in this fraud. We were known as the "West Republic of Florida".

I'm going back to read some of cw's links and see what I can find. Talk about coincidence.

I live in Tangipahoa Parish. More specifically, Husser. Lately I have been calling it (for personal use), Husstler, LA. instead of Husser. Apparently, my instincts were dead on.

Holy Sh*&!

Sorry I’m just now seeing this. That’s is pretty crazy. Let me find the northern Florida document tonight and I’ll post more pics of it cause There’s probably multiple pages. Most of these older documents are 12”x15” up to 15”x20” so I’ve only been posting one side of them. Again sorry for the late reply.
And what part of west Florida are you in?

 

[villival]

I'm in Louisiana in the area which was the "West Republic of Florida" for a short while. (Just like Minnesota was part of the Louisiana Purchase) I live in Husser, LA; Tangipahoa Parish. It's very clearly involved in the land fraud referenced via the links posted.

I adore history (especially Louisiana History) and the area in which I live and my farm specifically, has an incredible amount of artifacts I have dug up.

Iberville, as far as I know was the first person to explore this area (non native) and he is my 10th generation Uncle. I have great interest in all of this.

I think it's the greatest thing ever that you found these documents.

 

[Ryanblood1]

Oh ok that is pretty cool. My old family land was sold 25ish years ago and my great grand and his dad who both fought for the tenn volunteers, Were buried on that property. After it was sold the new owners bulldozed the headstones and they haven’t been seen since. Its hard to let things like that go and forget about it. I just won’t ever understand what is wrong with people. There aren’t words to describe some folks. But I drive through Louisiana couple times a year going to Texas to visit family. I’m not familiar with iberville though. Artifact hunting is what I do mostly. I spend more hours in the creek on my property every week than I do at work.
Is it the Yazoo land treaty that was mentioned early that your talking about?

Wow!!! I just skimmed through that list of names from your link, and I recognize more than half the names from looking through these papers. A lot of the names on my documents are hard to read so finding who they are online makes it difficult but this list helps figuring out who some of them are. Thank you.

Have you ever heard of the Great Florentine Ruler, Cosimo Medici. He was part of the North Carolina light horse regiment.

Amazing find Ryanblood, When did you find them, have you had anyone look at them? They are on rag paper, that is why they survived.

Amazing find Ryanblood, When did you find them, have you had anyone look at them? They are on rag paper, that is why they survived.

I found them a few weeks ago and No one has yet. I would like for someone to look at them though.
