Entries in the manuscript are grouped by the first letter of the surname. Within each group, entries are arranged by county and are numbered serially with a "registrant's serial number." this appears to be the order in which they were registered. Many fathers and sons appear grouped together. Also, people living geographically close to each other appear grouped together in some cases. It is clear that they are not arranged in alphabetical order by first name. The Jones names in Columbia Co., GA are numbered in the range of 114 to 180 (inclusive). The notes by each name are in the original manuscript. The notes in the right column are my own and are undocumented (by me) as indicated. <b>Name</b> <b>#</b> <b>Draw</b> <b>My Notes (undocumented):</b> <br /><br />Nathan Jones 114 BB <br /> Joseph Jones 115 BB <br /> Hezekiah Jones 116 BB <br /> Edward Jones 117 BB <br /> William Jones 118 B <br />Samuel Jones 119 BB May have been the Samuel Jones who married Mary Mote.

She was a kind affectionate mother and wife, having been all her married life the wife of my father, the late Elder Creed Caldwell, who is affectionately remembered by the Primitive Baptist as a firm, faithful and gifted minister of the gospel. She was the mother of the late Elder David Caldwell, who was called home to glory the present year. She lived to see about all her children either members of the church or in hope of salvation. She expressed herself for a length of time as waiting for her change to come; and when the time of her departure came she met death willingly, preferring to depart and be with Christ. And so she fell asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep from which none ever awake to weep. In sorrow, yet in hope that I shall meet her again, I remain her bereaved son, John Caldwell."

Frequently, the settlers were from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Maryland or others colonies. Some of the original settlers acquired their lands by <a href="http://www.geocities.com/claytonresearch/georgia_headright_and_bounty_gra.htm"> headrights or bounty land grants</a>. After February 17, 1783, State Legislation was passed which provided each head of the household headrights. A married man could obtain 200 acres, plus 50 additional acres for each member of his family and each slave at a cost of from one to four shillings per acre. During the late 1700’s or early 1800’s, what appears to be a very popular location to catch the ferry from South Carolina over to Georgia was a place located in the northeast corner of Columbia County just below Kegg Creek; or just below what is known today as Clarks Hill Lake. The road leading from the ferry down to the Village of Appling, the present county seat, was called Scott’s Ferry Road. The area surrounding Scott’s Ferry Road and Petersburg Road was a very popular place in the early 1800’s. The original settlers were not only friends and neighbors, but their children often married each other. Consequently, people would often be related to their neighbor in some form or fashion. </p><p>The area around the intersection of Scott’s Ferry Road and Petersburg Road was known as District Number 3. In articles written by Dr H. R.Casey for the Columbia Sentinel in 1883, Dr Casey mentions District number 3 as being famous in the flush times of Columbia County and certainly stopping at Luke’s Store" for “a little fun and frolic must have been the thing to do in those days. The District Captain for Number 3 was Samuel Payne. The families in his district (in 1820) were : James Lamkin, Asa Avery, Jane Reid, James Luke, Cabel Eubank, Leonard Peek, John Gray, Rebecca Garnett, Nancy Garnett, Isaac Willingham, Richard Merriweather, Jacob Dunn and Robert Pollard.</p><p>On the west of District Number 3 was District Number 4 which is estimated to be the area rounding and to the west of what is today Pollard’s Corner. Later, these three districts became known as the 135th Georgia Militia District. It is this northern area of Columbia County that many early families can be found settling, acquiring land and raising their families.

In 1805 Robert Clayton is listed adjacent to Jesse Moon and Jesse Beck on Sullivan Creek in District Number 4 (Isaac Willingham's District). The map above shows the locations of Sullivan Creek, flowing northwest from the area of Winfield to join the Little River. To the east, Keg Creek flows eastward to join the Savannah River just south of the Little River. At the south, Greenbrier (Green Briar) Creek and Keokee Creek form a southern boundary. The families listed here are believed to have lived within this area. The area west of Sullivans Creek is thought to be District Number 5.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" valign="top" width="635" height="19"><b>Families living on the Sullivan Creek watershed include:</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="157" height="95"><span style="font-size:100%;">Jesse Moon</span></td> <td width="10" height="95"> </td> <td valign="top" width="468" height="95"><span style="font-size:100%;">He was born in 1776 and was the son of <b>Thomas Moon</b> below.
