I don't understand the Ophir question -- the Ophir church and surrounding community is in the same place it has always been. At one time the post office address for the Mica and Conns Creek communities was listed as Ophir -- I'm not sure if it was in 1883 -- but it may have been. Ophir Baptist Church is located just off Yellow Creek Road in Northeast Cherokee county, on the Old Federal Road about 1/4 mile from the Forsyth County line. It's northwest of Coal Mountain -- maybe 10 miles?? (That's a guess -- I'm horrible with distance and direction. From Coal Mountain you take Hwy. 9 to Hwy. 369 -- the Old Federal Road is on the right across from the new River Hill Subdivision. The area between Ophir and 369 around the Etowah River is known as Frogtown).

[His PO Address was Cherokee Mills - to the West of Hickory Flats and Holly Springs.] Is anyone else on this list searching Brown ancestors of Cherokee? Also, a question recently came up in re to Ophir - it was in 1883 located extremely close to the Forsyth/Cherokee line right below Coal Mountain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 5892 -- Brown Isaac -- Cherokee Mills -- 8.00 -- Oct. 1871 - 1883 (January 1, 1883) Pensioner Rolls - Cherokee County, GA Certificate # - L/First Name - PO - Cause of Pensions - $/Month - Original Allowance Date 13575 -- Bruce Sarah -- Orange -- 8.00 -- Dec. 1878 5890 -- Cole Samuel -- Canton -- 8.00 -- Oct. 1871 25944 -- Gunter Margaret -- Canton --8.00 not listed -- July 1879 (check Gunter listing) 102924 --Jackson Lucy R. -- Canton -- a widow -- 8.00 -- Nov. 1867 5148 -- Cloud Elizabeth A. -- Canton - awidow -- 8.00 -- Sep. 1876 183986 -- Carney William W. -- Canton -a minor -- 10.00 May 1879 5892 -- Brown Isaac -- Cherokee Mills -- 8.00 -- Oct. 1871 175907 -- Messer Louisa E. -- Ft Buffington -- Dep. mother -- 8.00 -- Dec. 1876 125698 -- Couch Anthena -- Walesca -- abdominal injury -- 4.00 Oct. 1873 28280 -- Fowler Elizabeth --Orange -- widow (1812) -- 8.00 -- Dec. 1879 17372 -- Johnson Julian -- Ophir -- 8.00 -- Feb. 1879 30115 -- Thompson Mary -- Ball Ground --8.00 -- Aug. 1880 ==== GACHEROK Mailing List ==== GACHEROK-L mailing list archives.
