Betty, Did you get any info on your Hammond? My great grandparents were also from Chattooga county. Their names were Miles R and Catherine (Curry) Hammond. He was born in 1823 and died in 1902 and was in the construction business. I read an article that said he was exempt from the civil war because of his interest in milling. These occupations are so close to a sawmill, I wondered if there might be a connection. Please let me hear from you. Thanks, Billie

Michelle, I have Baker's book but it really gives no detail on the Underwood family. Are there other references? Carolyn
Check out Bob Bakers Book Chattooga : A Co and It's People from your library. It has a section on that town. Michelle
Would appreciate any information with regard to the Underwood (Under - Sub, Ligna - Wood) for whom Subligna was named.
My Floyd family lived on Lookout Mountain during the Civil War and shows up in 1880 at Summerville, Chattooga, Georgia. Does anyone know if Lookout Mountain is in that same county? My atlas doesn't show it. Also, is there a cemetery index of those buried in Summerville or nearby? Thanks. Tamlee (Floyd) McGary

A short time ago, I answered the question about Stone Mountain and Forsyth County for a searcher. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/no2/stone.html This is a webpage with links to 3 maps showing the relationship between Sheltonville which is in the lower southeast part of Forsyth and Stone Mountain. It was put up especially to answer this question. None of this is close to Chatooga County. Donna Parrish
In researching a relative who was born around 1846-1848, I found two documents showing his place of birth. One states he was born "near Stone Mountain, close to Atlanta Georgia". The other says he was born in Forsyth County. Can anyone tell me where Stone Mountain is, and if it is in, or close to Forsyth County? Also, there are two documents showing where his confederate army company surrendered after the war. One appears to say it was " near Madison Georgia", the other says "at Murphysburg Georgia" Can anyone clarify? Thanks for any help you can offer....June M
