_____DARDIN, John to Henry BUTT 400 acres on Holly creek of Broad river including the two shoals which might answer
for a mill. Jan. 28, 1789. Chas. FINCH, Josame Zoslene, Philip Guise, Test.

1790 July 16th Jul Deed [Franklin Co. Deed Book C, page 70, 70b] Deed dated 16 July 1790, rec. (no date), from James SPRATLIN (also SPRATLING)[SPRADLING] and wife Winifred to John HELMS, all of Wilkes Co., Ga. In consideration of 100 pds., conveys 460 acres in Franklin County on waters of Marburies Creek., grant to said SPRADLIN 24 May 1787. Wit: William OWEN (x), Willis MILLER. Sworn to by OWEN and MILLER before W. M. HAMMETT, J. P. 13 Dec. 1790. Signed "James SPRATLEN, Minifred <sic> SPRATLEN (x)."
Notes: This is James SPRADLING and his wife Winifred formerly of Franklin County, GA on Marbury/Mabry Creek
somehow kin? to David SPRADLING of Franklin, Wilkes Co., GA & also Warren, Dickson & Hickman Co's., TN.
Not sure how W. M. HAMMETT would fit in with this family but the HAMMETT name keeps showing up with my research on the COMBS TOTTY and SPRADLING lines. Research Still in progress.

1795 December 27th Deed [Franklin Co. 1784-1826 Deed Book KKK, Page 27-29] DEED dated GA. 31 Mar. 1795, recorded 27 Dec. 1795, from the heirs of Charles FINCH deceased, as follows: William FINCH, Susanna FINCH, Betsey FINCH, Burdett FINCH, Thomas WILLINGHAM and wife Judah, all of Oglethorpe County Georgia, and Mark SAUNDERS and wife Nancy, James COOMBER* and wife Fanny of Hancock County, Georgia, Charles FINCH, William ANDERSON and wife Sarah of Wilkes County Georgia, and from the executors, Joyce FINCH, and Richard COOPLAND to Isaiah GOLDSBY of Oglethorpe County. In consideration of 60 (?) pds., conveys 300 acres in Franklin County on waters of Big Shoal Creek., being part of 1000 acres granted to Charles FINCH, deceased, 20 Aug. 1789, on Pickens Trail and the Oglethorpe County line. Signed: "William FINCH (x), Susanna FINCH (x), Elizabeth FINCH (x), Burdett FINCH, Thomas WINGINGHAM, Judith WINGINGHAM, Marke SAUNDERS, Nancy SAUNDERS, James COMER*, Fanny COMER* (x), Charles FINCH, Fanny FINCH, William ANDERSON, Sarah ANDERSON, "Acknowledged by William, Susannah, Burdett FINCH and Thomas and Judith WINGINGHAM before Jno. LUMBKINS, J.P. 27 April 1795. Acknowledged by Mark and Nancy SAUNDERS, James and Fanny COMER* before Anderson COMER*, J.P. Hancock Co. 6 April 1795. Acknowledged by Charles FINCE " and his..." Fanny FINCH before Jno. POPE, J.P. Wilkes Co. 21 April 1795. Acknowledged by William and Sarah ANDERSON before S. COSBY, J.P. Wilkes 23 April 1795.
[* Indexed as COOMBER, COMER]
Notes: BTM comments, It is interesting to see the ANDERSON and COMBER/COMBES/COMBS families tied together in this deed along with "a" Anderson COMER/COMBES? and a William & Sarah [FINCH] ANDERSON. "Fanny" FINCH m: James COMBS of Hancock Co.,[m: 4 Jan 1794, Oglethorpe Co] with ties to Franklin County, Georgia, through their father Charles FINCH and mother Joyce FINCH. [Joyce Finch is found in the 1800 Census for Oglethorpe Co.] Sometime later a Peter COMBS gets married in this same county. Since one of my brick wall is around my Peter Anderson COMBS and who his parents are, I found it even more interesting to find a mention of both "a" Anderson COMBS and "a" Peter COMBS connected to the same county of Franklin. Any body know who these COMBS belong to? BTM states Peter Anderson COMBS was my 3rd great grandfather, his son Albert Grant COMBS had a daughter Birdie Lorena COMBS the grandmother of Birdie TOTTY McNutt. I know there are many ties in this county to our families of Tennessee. also extracted were most of the HARDIN & SPRADLING surnames. This James COMBS is likely KIN somehow to the John COMBS in the census record with Joyce Finch in Oglethorpe Co, could he be a son, brother?

1801 Febraury 11th DEED [Franklin Co. 1784-1826 Deed Book 00, page 51, 52] Deed date 11 February 1801 recorded 18 Julu 1803 for John PARKER to Henry PARKS, both of aforesaid in consideration of $18.50, conveys 287 ½ acres in Franklin Co. purchased by said PARKER 30 Oct 1797 as the property of John M. WHITNEY at a sheiffs sale in Elbert Co., GA. Warranty limited to said PARKER and his heirs only. Wit: Benja Cooper, Daniel PARKER. Swon to by Cooper before D. Montgomery, JP Franklin Co. 9 April 1803

1804 September 22nd Deed [Franklin Co. 1784-1826 Deed Book 000 Page 92, 93] Deed dated 22 Sept. 1804, rec. 15 Jan 1805, from Robert BEAN and wife Martha (x) of Franklin County, Georgia to Lemuel BEAN of aforesaid. In connsideration of $50, conveys 52½ acres in Franklin County on waters of Beaverdam Creek and Grove Fork Broad River, being part of a tract granted to John DARRICOTT, and conveyed by him to said Robert BEAN.

19 Nov. 1804.
Notes: Robert BEAN is said to have been married to Marth Womack, their daughter Rhoda married John H. OWENS. How is William SPRADLING related to this BEAN and OWENS families? and which William SPRADLING is this? We later have a William BEAN s/o of "a" Robert BEAN with TOTTY, SPRADLING and REEVES connections in Hickman County, TN, Crawford Co., AR, Cooke Co., & Montague Co., TX to name a few.

1808 December 17th Deed [Franklin Co. GA Deed Book 1784-1826, Page 78] DEED dated Franklin Co. 17 Dec. 1808, recorded 5 December 1809, from Zebediah PAYNE of Franklin Co. to Gabriel MARTIN of same. In consideration of $225, conveys 156 acres in Franklin Co. on Dosses Crk. being part of land granted to Thomas PAYNE, adj. Drury HUTCHINGS "and 90 acres taken off across the upper end of said tract" and William WILEY. Wit: Nathaniel PAYNE, Thomas PAYNE, Moses PAYNE. Elizabeth PAYNE (x), wife of Zebediah, relinquished her dower right same date.
Sworn to by Moses PAYNE before Joshua HUDSON, J.P. 11 OCt. 1809.
Notes: Nathaniel PAYNE and wife Susan _Unknown_[Possibly FINCH?], were the parents of Susan PAYNE, born abt 1814, who married 13 Apr 1833 in Grayson County, Virginia to Zadock COMBS. According to the COMBS researchers "It is not known where or when Nathaniel PAYNE died", but likely before he went to Warren County, Tennessee, he was in Franklin County, Georgia per the Deed above. Also Sarah FINCH ANDERSON was of Franklin Co. Georgia and married to a William ANDERSON. It would be interesting to know if the William P. ANDERSON mentioned with Nathaniel PAYNE was one and the same or a descendant of the same William ANDERSON, husband of Sarah FINCH, daughter of Charles FINCH. Also of additional interest is the mention of Benjamin WOOTEN, formerly of Franklin County, GA, as was my ancestor David SPRADLING and Nathaniel PAYNE who are both found in records together in Warren County, Tennessee. COMBS HAMMETT researcher CH states "No evidence that I know of that the Nathaniel of Warren TN was either the same as Nathaniel of Grayson VA or the same as the Nathaniel of Franklin GA... but (a) Martin JOHNSON'S brother, William is said to have m Tisha COMBS, and their son, James Martin JOHNSON was b in GA in 1806 (where we don't know), and (b) their next door neighbor was Daniel PAINE who m Sylvy COMBS, ancestry also unknown, of course." Research still in progress, but another interesting note is that we find a Nathaniel PAYNE and wife Susan [possibly FINCH??] in the same counties of Franklin Co., GA and Warren Co., TN with David SPRADLING at the same time frame.

1810 January 8th DEED [Franklin Co. 1784-1826 Deed Book TT, page 45] Deed dated 8 January 1810 recorded 21 October 1812 from Thomas Gilbert (x) and wife Hannah (x) of Franklin Co. to John SPRADLING of aforesiaid in consideration of $100., converys 100 acres in Franklin Co. on a branch of Little Shoal Creek granted to said Gilbert 18 May 1795. Wit: Joshua Hardin, Swan Hardin.

Lorena was the daughter of Birdie COMBS HOISINGTON, daughter of Albert Grant COMBS, s/o Peter Anderson COMBS. see Kay Co., OK, Gibson Co., IN, Allen County, KY
