Has anyone ever compiled a list of families that left Lexington about 1819 and settled in Alabama? I know a few of the families. The Snider family, the Weaver family, the Oswalt family. Also, at that time, passports were required to pass through the Cherokee and Creek Nations (now Georgia). Has anyone ever researched this? Here is one site: http://sos.georgia.gov/archives/what_do_we_have/passports_to_the_cherokee_and_creek_nations/default.htm The site mentions these two books if anyone has access please do a look up: Transcripts of all known Georgia passports and recommendations may be found in the following two sources: Bryan, Mary G. Passports Issued by Governors of Georgia, 1785 to 1820. National Genealogical Society Quarterly, 1977 [reprint]. Potter, Dorothy Williams. Passports of Southeastern Pioneers, 1770-1823: Indian, Spanish and other Land Passports for Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, North and South Carolina. Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1982.
