Mr. Bryant and the other members of the Coweta Co., & Carroll Co., GA Mailing Lists: Since Mr. Bryant has inquired about this former county of Georgia, I thought I would post the information as there may be other like myself who have never lived in GA. I did not know of the existence of "Old Campbell Co." until I had given up in frustration, trying to figure out "Where did they go??" This description is from the main page of the Campbell Co., GA Gen Web page. If you go to the site, scroll down and you will see a map that shows it's former location. It has come in quite handy to know about "Old Campbell" if you are researching in the Coweta/Carroll area. The URL is: http://www.mindspring.com/~swampfox/Campbell_County/Campbell.htm "Campbell County was formed by an act of the Georgia Legislature December 20, 1828 taking land from Carroll, Coweta, DeKalb, and Fayette Counties. In 1832 land from the Cherokee Land Lottery was added, for a total to about 192 square miles. On October 17, 1870 the land lying north of the river was taken along with some of eastern Carroll to form what is now Douglas County. The rest merged with Fulton on January 1, 1932. Campbell County was named in honor of Colonel Duncan G. Campbell. He and James Meriwether negotiated the Indian Springs Treaty in which the Creek Indian land was ceded on February 12, 1825. The County seat was Campbellton until 1870. It was then moved to Fairburn where it remained for the life of the county. In the marriage license (basement) bureau of the Ordinary's office in Fulton County, are stored both Campbell County and Milton County marriage license records. They also store on micro film, copies of the Atlanta Journal/Constitution news paper, going back many years. They also have wills, deeds, estate records, etc." Good Luck, Valerie Freeman Santa Ana, California Researching: Nixon in GA/AL Lochbaum/Laughbaum in PA/OH Cherry in MD/PA/OH/IA ------------------------- Original message: Subj: Re: [GACOWETA] Fwd: Coweta Co Gen Soc Newsletter Date: 6/28/2000 6:33:32 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: bryants@jps.net (Bob & Judy Bryant) To: VCJFreeman@aol.com What part of the GA we know and love did Campbell Co encompass?
