History notes: From at least 1831 to 1832, the territory now in Murray County was part of Cherokee County, Georgia. Murray County (and several other counties) were formed out of Cherokee County during the 1832 Cherokee land lottery. Prior to 1831, the territory was transitional, as it had been part of the Cherokee Nation and was usurped by the State of Georgia at the time of the Indian Removal Act of 1829. Many Murray County deeds use terminology such as “…formerly Cherokee now Murray County” or “…Murray County, formerly Cherokee.” The above deeds originated in Clarke County, but refer to land in Murray County, formerly Cherokee.
Transcription Notes: Transcribed by D.K. Pritchett on 28 December 2015 from handwritten record on file in the Superior Court of Murray County, Georgia, Deed Book G, page 457. Writing is somewhat compressed. Old style of leading “s” written as “f” is used within the document (transcribed herein as “s”). There is yet another deed beginning at the bottom of page 457, not transcribed here. That deed is from Charles Silas to D. I. Rials, for Lot 294 in the 12th District, 3rd Section, originating in Wilkinson County and filed in Murray County. It appears to be unrelated to the above deeds. In the first deed, the names “?Test” Ranson and “Daken” are hard to read—it could be some other name. In the second deed, the second set of names is actually placed in the right-hand column, but cannot be done here because of space and layout considerations.
