Lee County Wills and Estates
Lee County was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on
December 11, 1826 and included the territory acquired from the Creek
Indians lying between the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers, immediately
above the old line of Early County and known as the first section, shall
form one county to be called Lee. Originally, Lee County comprised the
subsequently created counties of Quitman, Randolph, Stewart, Sumter,
Terrell and Webster, parts of Schley, Chattahoochee, Macon, Clay, and
Marion. The 1827 land lottery distributed lands in Lee County, but
recipients are to be found in any of the above counties because Lee was
so large a territory. Pictured is the old railroad depot in Leesburg and farmland. The first settlers to Lee County goes to the heart of lands offered in the land lotteries after the evacuation of the Lower Creek Indians. Although many families drew this land, not all of them chose to venture into South Georgia and build a homestead.
