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

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.
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*&!
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.
