Hi Wiley,
While looking over some emails about Henry and Margaret
(Mitchell) Cassels children, I noted the son, John, is showing
'died Sumpter Co, GA 1816'. Should this be Sumpter Co, SC?
The reason I ask is Sumpter Co, GA was not established until
1831 from Lee Co, GA. Lee Co, GA was opened during the
1826 GA Land Lottery. In 1816 Sumpter Co, GA area would
have been the Creek Nation.
I have a ggggrandfather John Cassels, d. 1816 Jasper Co, GA.
Should it be Jasper Co, GA instead of Sumpter Co, GA?
Regards,
Tommie Cassels Major
