    Notes 
    • Thanks so much, Gene. My dad was so proud of his Virginia heritage. He always told my mom that Georgia was settled by debtors' prison inmates. In my research ,I found my mom's close ancestors were from
      Virginia. I guess they came south looking for cheap land through a lottery. My great grandfather who served in the Civil War was an overseer on someone else's plantation north of Macon. So maybe my dad was right. All of this is so interesting! Why didn't they tell us more? Again, thank you for such a fantastic website. Bonnie
