19th Century Georgia Leathers family

Classification: Query
Surnames: Leathers, McElreath, Clore
Samuel Leathers, son of Johann Paulus Leatherer of Germany and Culpeper Co. VA and his wife Margaret Clore, was a Revolutionary War veteran. Samuel drew land in the "land lottery" while living in Hall Co. Georgia. He moved to live on his land in Carroll Co. Georgia where he died after 1832 when he drew again in the Gold Lottery. I am seeking to prove by will, deed, letter, etc. that my ancestor Joel Daniel Leathers, who married Mary McElreath in Hall Co. Georgia in 1824 and was living in the Republic of Texas when he died in Nov. 1849, was indeed his son.
