GIlbert Cleland of Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia
Gilbert Cleland (enumerated as G. Cleleand or Clealand) appeared in the 1820 Richmond County, Georgia census.In June, 1825, he served as surety on a marriage bond for John S. Lott, who married Sarah Ann Liverman.In August, 1825, he sailed with John S. Lott and lady to White, New York from Savannah, Georgia aboard the Augusta - this was reported in the Savannah Daily Georgian paper on 8/9/1825.Mr. Cleland and Mr. Lott and lady were listed as being from Augusta.
Can anyone tell me who this Gilbert Cleland was?I suspect he might have been a business partner to John S. Lott, who was involved with waterway transport of goods to sell between Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta.Thank you for any and all information.
