United States, Georgia, Franklin County, 34.37544, -83.22918United States, Georgia, Jackson County, 34.13388, -83.56635Wailes, Levin1800-05-26This is a survey report, with an attached map, pertaining to lands in Franklin and Jackson Counties in Georgia, prepared by surveyor Levin Wailes and dated May 26, 1800. The report indicates that the map is intended to show bodies of land in the two counties, surveyed separately on behalf of Daniel Beall and William Call Jr., as well as the boundaries between the state of Georgia and the Indians. Wailes asserts that the map will also reveal errors on the part of commissioners, including U.S. Agent to the Creeks, Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, who ran the boundary line from Currahee Mountain to the mouth of the Apalachee River in accordance with the Treaty of New York (signed between the U.S. and the Creek Indians on August 7, 1790). He notes various discrepancies among the surveys and indicates that the errors are unfavorable to the inhabitants of Franklin and Jackson Counties.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc944engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 24, folder 23, document 01.Creek Indians--TreatiesLand useIndian agentsSurveyorsBoundariesReport [with] map, 1800 May 26, Augusta, [Georgia] / Levin WailesText
