I think the most confusing is that Perrin C lived in Macon...or the Macon area, as well as the others. So you don't know for sure if ones one or the other unless you get a middle innital, birth year or suffix. (Randolph county, Macon city/ county, la Plata are all fairly close) I visited the Macon county courthouse to look at the original records when I lived there, looking mainly for anything for PC but they just hand you a huge book for whatever year you want and say good luck ><.
I had better luck at the Macon library... Unfortunately just about everything I did find was already online. So not much new.
