ORIGINAL PAPERS
The people of Wilkes county and all descendants of the early settlers of the county, whether residents of our own Empire State of the South, the crowded centers of the north and east, the fertile deltas of the Mississippi, in sight of the snow capped Rocky Mountains, midst the golden orange groves of California, or beyond the domain of our beloved America, owe a debt of gratitude to Sarah Quinn Smith, herself a scion of the very cream of the pioneers of this historic area, who with no thought of renum- eration, actuated by a passionate desire to preserve the history of her beloved state and county, rescued these priceless original papers from further loss, and made them available for publication. To her only is due the credit for their restoration and preservation.
The following abstracts were made from these original papers, stored in utmost confusion in attic and cellar of both the old and new courthouses. No doubt thousands were lost, destroyed by vermin, burned as trash, and stolen by vandals. Nothing we can do now could possibly replace them for the use and instruction of present and future generations. We can only register their loss as a tragedy with similar losses in many other old counties of Georgia.
Wilkes county was the scene of stirring events. The few records touch- ing the Revolutionary period give us reason to believe there were others in existence. If such papers had been preserved, they would have made a wonderful contribution to the glorious history of Georgia.
The authenticity of these documents can not be questioned. The returns of administrators, executors, guardians etc are the identical papers returned to the Register of Probate for record, in the older papers the actual receipts

of heirs, legatees and wards in their own handwriting. To a modern doctor, the accounts of the doctors of that day would give an insight into their methods of treatment probably not found elsewhere, certainly not in published history. Little of this material was recorded in books, which still further enhances its value. No price could possibly be placed on these original papers. Nothing short of their being carefully arranged, and placed in the fire proof vault of the Judge of Court of Ordinary should be considered for a moment, regardless of expense. They fairly scintillate with the forgotten history of the past. No modern fiction excels them in tales of human interest. They are all that is left to tangibly link us with the pioneers whose ashes have made sacred this historic ground, and whose descendants, legion in number, are scattered to the ends of the earth.
