Georgia was a state-land state in which land was distributed first by the governor and then through land courts established from 1783 to 1909. From 1756 land was distributed in the eastern quarter by headright and bounty grants. The grants usually do not give residences, family names, or military information. Not all bounties were for military service. These records are listed in Index to the ''Headright and Bounty Grants of Georgia 1756-1909'' (Vidalia, Georgia: Georgia Genealogical Reprints, 1970; Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=174941&disp=Index+to+the+headright+and+bounty+grants%20%20&columns=*,0,0 975.8 R2i]). | Georgia was a state-land state in which land was distributed first by the governor and then through land courts established from 1783 to 1909.
