    3. > I think I have figured out the origin of Tobesofkee near Macon. Richard, Your guess is as good as anyone else's. The name has been written so many ways. It might not have even had any connection to "sofkee" at all. Bartram called it "Tobosachte". However, in 1790 Hawkins spelled it "Tobosaufkee", "Tobe saufe ke", and "Tobesauke". Paul
