Notes for John B. Boyett: [Boyet.FTW]
John B. Boyett is the earliest ancestor that I have been able to document in my lineage. He first appears in Columbus County, North Carolina in the 1820 U. S. Federal Census. He later migrated, in 1831, with his family into Georgia probably looking for good farmland. John served in the War of 1812.
Georgia is the only state in the nation which did not initially sell land as it became available. The land was distributed in a number of Land Lotteries. Each lottery had different guideline for which an individual could "draw" land. Often these people were vetrans of wars, or widows and orphans of vetrans. Much of the land in Georgia was taken from Native Americans who were relocated to reservations.
In the 1800s as land opened up and people migrated westward Georgia served as a "Gateway" to the west. People who wanted to travel westward were required to secure a passport from the state of Georgia.
