1836List2949Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. <br /> <br /> These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown

Prepared and signed by William H. Underwood as Solicitor for the complainant. Very Good.<br /> <br /> From 1805 through 1832 Georgia used a lottery system to distribute land taken from the Cherokee and Creek Indians. The Georgia Gold Rush began in 1829 and continued through the early 1840s. Separate Gold Lotteries in 1832 and 1833 divided lots into 40 acres and distributed them. The Georgia Gold Rush was the second significant gold rush in the United States and was particularly significant in the county seat of Dahlonega Lumpkin County where it began soon spreading through the North Georgia Mountains. Due to the significant amount of mined gold Congress established the Dahlonega Mint in 1838. By the early 1840s gold became less plentiful and many miners migrated to California for the California Gold Rush.
