On a white-oak tree marking 110 miles on the west side, and below is marked: T. Stocks, G. C. J. C.s R. B. June 27, 1818, on the east side 35 degrees N. Lat., H. M. About one pole south on a white oak is marked: J. Cocke, C. T. H. M. The tree marked 110 miles is about 114 inches in diameter, it stands on the top of the mountain which is bald, on the south side for some distance it encircles the head waters of Little river, which runs into the Hiawassee on the west side of the

Unicoy mountain. On the east side of the mountain Autialey runs and heads, which is Tennessee waters. This line continued its course, would cross the Blue Ridge in running 6 or 8 miles. Here we turned our course for home and encamped on Little river near the Chunkey Girls.


June 28th., set out early and traveled 6 miles to John Stanley's on the Unicoy road, thence on 9 miles to Charles Tucker's; 9 miles to Buffington's, 5 miles to the top of the Blue Ridge, thence down Spoilt-cow creek crossing it 25 or 30 times to the main branch of the Chattahoocheeiles to Martin's and spent the night. 29th Col., Montgomery left me and I proceeded on 12 miles to Walter Adams' on Soquee and spent the night, having to remain there to get one of my horses shoes removed. This is one of the handsomest places I ever saw. June 30th., set out and traveled 12 miles to Col. Wafford's near the falls of Toccoa. Visited the falls and re- mained the balance of the day at Col. Waffold's. The fall is 187 feet perpendicular. July 1st set out and traveled 20 miles to Carnesville to dinner, thence 10 miles to Thomas Jones and spent the night. July 2nd, 10 miles to Danielsville to break- fast, 22 miles to Lexington to dinner, and 20 miles home to supper. (From Thomas Stocks diary)


A photostat showing the "Way bill" and points visited between Greensboro and Nickajack would be interesting. Also, a photostat of the way back from the Blue Ridge to Greensboro on the return trip.


CHAPTER III GREENE COUNTY'S EARLY SETTLERS


When Greene county was first organized in February 1786. there were quite a number of settlers who had moved in, and secured land grants while this territory belonged to Washington county, therefore, the names of Greene's earliest settlers do not appear on the following list. Their grants were made to Greene county land as late as 1861, and recorded in Washington county.


It will be noted that, the names, acres, location, and dates of entry are shown, but the Militia Districts in which the land is located does not. This is due to the fact that Militia Districts had not been laid out, and the only description shown, is with reference to streams. The lands of Greene county originally, laid along both sides of the Oconee River from near Athens to where the Apalachee empties into it, and then along the North bank to about opposite Milledgeville. It also followed the Ap- alachee river up to about where High Shoals is located, thence North to Cherokee Corner. The line then ran East, and is fairly well defined by the Athens branch of the Georgia Railroad from Arnoldsville in Oglethorpe county to Union Point. From Union Point, the county line followed the Ogeechee River East, to a point somewhere below Jewels Mills. Thence south-east, to a point on the Oconee just below Milledgeville.


The names of many of the creeks mentioned are unknown in what is now Greene county, while some of them are known to be in Hancock and Taliaferro, therefore, it is impossible to determine how much of the land described is in what is now Greene county. It is also interesting to note, how the original settlers stuck to watercourses. It is also of interest to note that, Grants were made to Greene county land as late as 1861, and that the Secretary of State A. C. Barnett, certified to the cor- rectness of the following entries, at Milledgeville in June 1867, and under the Seal of the State of Georgia.
