Some other counties represented are Baldwin and Telfair. The most common names are Tillman (especially Henry, 1790-1851, of Montgomery County), Chany or Cheney, Hinson, Hull, Lott, McArthur, Nash, White, and Wooten. Also included are an 1821 South Carolina deed concerning Joseph Bush of Burke County, Georgia, and Wilkinson County, Georgia, land and an 1873 Wisconsin will mentioning land in Telfair County, Georgia.
