Elizabeth Hummel and Jacques Perot
I am looking for anyone who might have information on the these two People.
Jacques Perot had spent some time fighting the British in the South (13 colonies comprising North and South Carolina and Georgia), and had been impressed with the red clay land somewhat like his own homeland.So he asked for and received a grant of land (about two sections,320 acres, in what is now the Northwestern part of the State-Northeast corner of Randolph Country and a portion Western County. He arrived there in the spring of 1782. A small town of PARROTT, present population 275 is today on what that was originally deeded to Jacques.. It is located approximately 8 miles north of DAWSON, GEORGIA, on Highway #55.
A German family by I name of HUMMEL, migrated from Pennsylvania to approximately 8 miles north of DAWSON, GEORGIA, on Highway #55, some years before 1782.
Two years after coming to Randolph Country, Jacques Perot and ELIZABETH HUMMEL were married in the fall of 1784. The marriage resultedin five children were born to this happy couple.
