DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Oglethorpe County was created on December 19, 1793, from the northwestern portion of Wilkes County. Although the Georgia territory extended westward to the Mississippi River, the lands of Oglethorpe County were on the edge of the white settlement. Before the arrival of white settlers to north Georgia, much of Oglethorpe County was inhabited by tribes of the Creek Indians and the tribes of the Cherokee Indians. These Indian tribes relinquished their claims to this land after signing the Indian Treay of 1773. Many of the early settlers of Oglethorpe County came from Virginia in search of fertile farm land. Oftentimes, several families would move as a group to a new location, traveling together for safety and protection. Upon arrival at their destination, they would work togther to build houses and establish farms. [This] research shows that the England, Colquitt, Hargrove, Brooks, Nunnally, and Daniel families were in the area of Goochland, Cumberland County, Virginia around 1790. Apparently, these families left Virginia around 1800 and moved to Oglethorpe County. In later years, the children and grandchildren of these early settlers began to marry between families."-- Page 1.
