-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}}.

-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; {{WorldCat|6648734|disp=At various libraries (WorldCat)}}; {{FHL|1950181|item|disp=FHL Book 975.8 R2i}}.
