Mike, and Jack,
I am having something investigated to see if John Carden, had any estate papers.
I have some info, that states that a Jesse Tanner had won Lot 123 District 7 in the 1821
lottery.
This is the land that my O.H.R. or Owen bought from Andrew Jackson Carden.
Also, adjoining Lot 123 was Lot 102 in District 7, and this land belonged to Benjamn
Carden.
They were both living in Whites Militia District in Jasper Co. Ga. at the time.
Then, according to some info I've received, the land was owned by John Carden, and he
sold it to Andrew Jackson Carden.
The Jesse Tanner must not have taken up the land and it must have reverted back to Ga., as
John Carden, bought it from a James Whatley.
My cousin, and I have wondered, if the Youen and John were brothers, and maybe the name
Owen, might have been taken from Youen?
Its still a puzzle, but this maybe the biggest lead I've had so far!
