Letters to Elizabeth Hubbart Partridge

The 1821 Land Lottery was the fourth lottery of the Georgia Land Lotteries, a lottery system used by the U.S. state of Georgia between the years 1805 and 1833 to expropriate Cherokee and Muscogee land and redistribute it to American settlers. The 1821 lottery was authorized by the Georgia General Assembly by an act of May 16, 1821. The lottery redistributed land in Dooly, Fayette, Henry, Houston, and Monroe counties. The expropriated land was divided into lots 202.5 acres in size which served as prizes in the lottery.
