It even includes several petitions for Georgia parishes that existed before county designations were formed and for which almost no records exist other than those kept at Savannah.Of particular note is a petition for Burke County which suffered severe loss of its early records from a number of fires. This petition should be most helpful to those researching in Burke County.It is suggested that those using this book read through the section "List of Petitions" to obtain a flavor of the personal concerns of these people and what was important to them in this exciting historical time. Even at this time of great distress and hardship life had to go on. These petitions are almost like an open window into the lives of these people.
