Gordon  & Robinette - GA - 1821 & 1832 - Deeds

Zacariah H. Gordon
George W. Gordon
Charity Robinette

Subject: Betsy, slave of the Gordon's
Deed Records - Upson County, GA

While researching my husband's line, I found a book with early deeds of Upson County, Georgia:

August 28, 1821, John Brown of Maury County, Tennessee, "for love and affection and two hundred dollars paid by Zachariah H. Gordon gave to his mother, Mrs. Charity Robinette, a negro girl named Betsy about 14 years old. This deed recorded in Upson County."

Also listed, August 21, 1832, "Charity Robinett gave to her son Zachariah H. Gordon for love and affection and $500.00, a negro woman 25 yrs. old and her three children. Deed made in Monroe and witnessed by George W. Gordon, another son of hers."

I'm assuming the second deed info would also be Betsy, as the age works out correctly, but it may very well have been another slave. I hope this helps someone! If you need further information, please let me know and I'll try to help.
