Georgia was the only state to distribute land, bought from the Cherokee and Creek Indian Nations, by lottery. There was no South Carolina involvement although many South Carolian families migrated to Georgia during and after the Revolutionary War.
Hall County was formed in 1818 with lands ceded by the Cherokees and also lands taken by legislative act from Jackson and Franklin counties. The earliest extant Georgia census is the 1820 census. There are no Tippens/Tippin enumerated in Georgia or South Carolina in the 1820 census.
South Carolina had no law regarding registration of marriages or licenses until 1 July 1911. Georgia law did not require marriages to be recorded until 1805 but these records were kept in the counties and many were lost in courthouse fires. All extant recorded Georgia marriages up to 1900 have been microfilmed and are available at the Georgia Archives and the Family History Library mentioned in my earlier post. Both Cherokee and Hall early extant marriage records are on the websites also mentioned in my earlier post. Both counties had record losses of some early records. I have looked at these and found no Thompson Tippen/s marriages other than the one to Jane Fielder.
