Debra, I can't tell you much about the Spurlins, but there is a Kelly line in their background. William Spurlin, married to Celia, was the son of William, Sr. and Elizabeth Kelly Spurlin. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jacob and Chloe Kelly who settled in Coffee County also.Jacob was the son of Jacob, Sr. and Susanna Allen Kelly. Sr. was a Revolutionary soldier and son of William Kelly of North Carolina. These are notes I have for Jacob, Jr. and Chloe who came to Coffee Co including some of my own questions.

GA 69 Jacob was a Private in 1779, under Col. Elijah Clarke in the Georgia Troops, Revolutionary War. He moved from Washington Co, GA to Jasper Co, GA and is buried in Jasper Co, in the Allen Kelly Cemetery (later residence of Eaton Harvey Kelly, in the NW part of Jasper Co). Graves were marked by E. Harvey Kelly 7/22/1959. Jacob was granted headrights by the Colonial and State Governments in Washington Co, GA. He was granted 287 1/2 acres 5/17/1784, for Revolutionary War service. He was one of the early settlers of that county. Washington Co was created in 1784 from lands ceded in 1773 between the Oconee River and the former temporary line. Parts of the county were later made into Greene, Hancock, Montgomery, Oglethorpe, Tattnall, Baldwin, and Emanuel counties. Washington was one of the headright counties. In 1807 Jasper Co was Randolph Co. In 1812 the name was changed to Jasper. It was formed from Baldwin Co.
