Notes |
- Mary Hambrick Gann
Birth: 1768, USA
Death: unknown
Watkinsville
Oconee County
Georgia, USA
Mary Hambrick married Samuel Gann, Sr., the son of a pioneer neighbor, Nathan Gann, Sr. in Clarke County, Georgia. She and Samuel, Sr. lived near his father probably on land given to them as newly weds. Mary was in her middle thirties when Samuel, Sr. died leaving her a widow with four young children. She entered the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery as a widow and won a lucky draw for Lot 27 in Hall County. Her son Samuel, Jr. also entered and drew Lot 135, Sec. 8 in Irwin County. In 1832, Mary entered the Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery and drew land, 16 Dist, 2 Sec. in Cobb County. It was noted her place of residence was Echols District, Clarke County. She continued to lived on land her deceased spouse and his father had claimed when they migrated from North Carolina after the Revolutionary War. The area was originally part of Greene County until Clarke County was created with Athens, to the north, as the county seat. Mary and her extended family lived in the Watkinsville area when she died sometime after 1832. The Watkinsville area of Clarke County became part of Oconee County when it was created in 1875.
NOTE: The Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery was so named because the land belonged to the Cherokee Indians and had for centuries before the white man arrived in America. After the Revolutionary War, the great migration of white settlers began seeking new land. The tribal lands of the Cherokee were confiscated and distributed to white settlers by means of lottery drawings. This disgraceful displacement' of Indian land by the white government eventually lead to the "Trail of Tears".
