I am researching my family and the history of Decatur County, Georgia. I would appreciate any information you are willing to share. thanks.

It would help to know the names you are interested in... Here are some of mine: http://pone.com/ts/rw000.htm All of these came through either Decatur or Thomas counties at one time or another, mostly in the area where they originally joined that has now become Grady County, Georgia. I'm pretty sure that my Prevatt/Davis line had Indian ancestry, but probably not Creek... probably Monacan (Catawba Sioux) and possibly Cherokee. My Welch line probably included Indian ancestry, but I'm not sure whether they were Creek or other. I'm relatively sure that my Spear(s) and Hair(e) lines had Creek ancestry... but so far my documentation of the specifics is nebulous at best... You might also find my web site on the Apalachicola Creeks to be interesting: http://sofkee.org/apalachicola/apalachicolacreeks.htm This is just simple, basic, information from published sources but so far as I have found to date, very little compiled history has been written about this group. It is my impression that they were about as much at home in Decatur County as they were across the line in Florida.
