- This document is a land grant for a plot in Muscogee County, Georgia granted to Arnold Holly on February 7, 1832. The grant was authorized by Wilson Lumpkin, Governor of Georgia (1831-1835) and prepared by James Bozeman of the Executive Department. The land was acquired by the state of Georgia from the Creek Indians in the fraudulent Treaty of Indian Springs, signed February 12, 1825. The Treaty of Washington, January 24, 1826, nullified the Treaty of Indian Springs so the validity of this land grant is uncertain.
