GROSS MAPS OF CROWN GRANTS OF ST. MATTHEWS PARISH OF COLONIAL GEORGIA
The late Arthur Gross, a native of Screven County, Georgia, who knew intimately the area that was St. Matthews Parish in Colonial times, mapped out Crown grants made in the parish. I find the maps of his I've seen personally interesting to me because they pinpoint locations of the grants of my Braddocks and Cooks and show who their neighbors were. However, from seeing so many key names them, I find them of far more interest for making me aware of what a hotbed of Colonial and Revolutionary history St. Matthews Parish was.
I am indebted to Carole Drexler, Dot Hope, and Dale Reddick from whom I received copies of the maps.
