Beginning in 1783 a head of household living in Georgia could be granted 200 acres of land on his own head-right and fifty acres for each additional family member, including slaves, up to 1000 acres<ref>{{Citation:Digital Library of Georgia/Citation Listing}}</ref>. Currently my research shows David would have been entitled to 550 acres (200 acres for himself + 350 acres for is wife and six children as of 1832).  Given most birth date information comes from census records 1850 and later, it is possible David and Sarah had child who died between 1832 and 1850 accounting for the additional 50 acres. According to [[Index to the headright and bounty grants of Georgia, 1756-1909]] David was awarded 600 acres in Wayne County in 1838, six years after the 1832 land lottery.
