The land set aside for the veterans of the
Georgia Line or Continental Line, as it was
previously called, was a tremendous tract known
as the Bounty Reserve or simply the Reserve,
located in the south end of old Franklin County
and the north end of old Washington County. The
same territory is today part of Oconee,
Oglethorpe and Greene Counties, lying between the
Oconee and Appalachee rivers.
The Minutemen were all non-residents of Georgia
at the time of their enlistments, recruited from
other states.
The State Militia was in the service of the
state, and not of the
Continental Congress, from the start to the
finish of the war.
Men who had fled from the state when their homes
were overrun by the British and had enlisted and
fought in the Militia Regiments of South Carolina
and North Carolina were known as Refugees.
The fifth and largest class who received bounty
grants, entitled Citizens,
was the least deserving.
