[tax, land lottery] Following is information that I have collected for this John Belcher. I appreciate any information on John Belcher or any of the associated named families.

A VILLAIN DISCOVER'D
Some time back I gave my note to JOHN BELCHER of Columbia County, for Seventy Seven Dollars, payable in November next, which note JOHN BELCHER shortly after lost-the fact of which the said Belcher has sworn. The same note has been lately offered for sale by WM. LUCKY, who lives in the New Purchase-The said Lucky is about 30 years of age, and has a remarkable ugly nose, which is very large at the end, and turns very much up, which appears to have been produced from some disorder. I forewarn all persons from trading for said note
ARCHER WILLINGHAM, Columbia County, March 8.
[NOTE: This is Archibald Willingham who married 12 Dec 1809 in Columbia Co., GA to the daughter, Eleanor, of John Belcher.]

In 1820 Jasper Co. were JOHN BELCHER SR., COLLIN H. BELCHER (b. ca 1790 m. 7 Dec 1813 in Columbia Co., GA to Rebecca Gilpin), JOHN G. BELCHER, AND OBEDIAH BELCHER (bought and sold land in Jasper Co. 1810-1829). Also in Jasper Co. in 1820 was ARCHIBALD WILLINGHAM m. 12 Dec 1809 in Columbia Co., GA to ELEANOR BELCHER b. 1794 GA (my ancestors).
