Georgia had a land lottery five different times to encourage settlement of areas newly obtained from the Indians. There were different residency requirements for each lottery, which I won't go into. However, I am sending with this e-mail the BARTLETTs from Hancock Co. who were lucky in certain lotteries:

John BARTLETT from Scotts Militia district in Hanc. Co., Ga. drew lot #171 in section 7 (now Gwinnett Co., Ga.) in the 1820 lottery. He was eligible for 2 draws.

Bennett BARTLETT from the same district and county drew #508 in section 11 which is now Irwin Co., Ga.

Sterling (Starling) BARTLETT got two draws but was not a winner in 1820.
