1820 Land Lottery:
John Ussery of Hall Co. drew land of Miller's 29303 of Appling County.
Meredith Ussery of Laurence County drew land of Watson's 6-2 in Appling County.

Lawton Randall Ursrey served as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives in the 1950s, representing Jeff Davis County. The information about Lawton¹s father, Lyman Colquit Ursrey, being born in Jeff Davis County about 1876 is probably inaccurate. Jeff Davis County was not formed until 1905. The county was formed out of portions of Appling and Coffee counties. Lyman was probably born in Appling County since Hazlehurst was, at that time, located in Appling County. € Jack Weatherly, Lawton Ursrey¹s grandfather, was one of the pioneer settlers of this area of the state. We have in Hazlehurst a Weatherly Blvd. and a Weatherly Park, both named for the Jack Weatherly family. € The Jeff Davis County cemetery referenced several times in the Ursrey web site as ³Betilla Free Will Baptist Ch. Cemetery² probably is ³SATILLA Free Will Baptist Church Cemetery.² Satilla FWBC Cemetery is one of the largest and oldest cemeteries in the county, located in the Satilla community near the Big Satilla and Little Satilla rivers. I have never heard of a Betilla FWBC Cemetery.

Among those listed in the web site as Lawton¹s siblings are ³Mamie Ursrey of Hazlehurst, mar. Robert Crosby. Ch: Madelilne (sic), Robey (sic).² Mamie Ursrey Crosby died just recently here in Jeff Davis County. Her surviving children are daughters Madeline Crosby Crowe and Robbie Crosby Roberts.

Listed in the web site as Lawton¹s children are Lawton Randle Ursrey Jr., who is presently a professor at Middle Georgia College and Gerald Lyman Ursrey,. Gerald ²Jerry² is the person I am looking for but have been unable to locate. The woods of Jeff Davis County are full of Ursreys and Usserys, mostly good, solid folks who you would be proud to have in your family. I, too, am interested in geneaology but can¹t recall any Ursreys, Usserys, Usrys, etc., in my lineage.

If I can be of any assistance, please don¹t hesitate to call on me. Tommy Purser Editor-Publisher Jeff Davis County Ledger PO Box 460 Hazlehurst, GA 31539 Tommy Purser jdledger@altamaha.net

May 27, 1816-Hansel Roberts, husband of Catherine Roberts, who was daughter of Sally Usery, sold to Elizabeth Usery.
2nd L.D., L.L. #271. $50.00. Witnesses were Meredith Usery and Justice of the Peace Hugh Thomas.

Hansel Roberts was the son of Frederick Roberts and Angeline Douglas(s). Hansel was accused in 1811 of the murder of Benjamin Harrison (the Indian fighter, not the president). The Governor of Georgia issued a $100.00 bounty for Hansel's capture. He was eventually captured and tried in 1812. The outcome of the trial has been speculated for some time. Some say he was hanged while others say he was acquitted. I believe that he must have been acquitted, because if he was hanged afer the trial in 1812, he certainly couldn't have sold anything to Elizabeth in 1816.
