Transcribers’ notes: 

A large portion of the area William Ellis surveyed in 1821 is now 3^rd District Spalding County.  At this time, he was also holding the position of Surveyor of Oglethorpe County, GA; we have found evidence of appointment to the Oglethorpe position in 1820, 1822, 1824 (2-year terms).  When Spalding County was formed, he held the position of first Surveyor of Spalding County.
