From 1732 to 1755 the area that is now [[Georgia Genealogy (state)|Georgia]] was a trusteeship in which land was allotted to males and their heirs. After 1755 lands were granted without restrictions. Land transfers before 1777 were generally recorded in Savannah, and many early land grants have been transcribed and published. One source for these records is Pat Bryant, ''Entry of Claims for Georgia Landholders, 1733-1755'' (Atlanta, Georgia: State Printing Office, 1975; [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/100177-entry-of-claims-for-georgia-landholders-1733-1755?offset=1 Digital Version]; {{WorldCat|3035853|disp=At various libraries (WorldCat)}}; {{FHL|76882|item|disp=FHL Film 1450719, Book 975.8 R2br}}. | From 1732 to 1755 the area that is now [[Georgia Genealogy (state)|Georgia]] was a trusteeship in which land was allotted to males and their heirs.
