Thanks for the information, Douglas. Have you by chance compiled from these family records the burials that could have been made in this cemetery? The Athens Historical Society did a lot of work in the early 1990s trying to locate every cemetery in the county - the book of the marked graves was published in 1999. But there's no mention of the GANN cemetery off Timothy Road! Would appreciate that information to add to the files. I don't have a copy of the Oconee County Cemetery book handy to check to see if they found it. I did find these GANN markers in the Oconee Hill Cemetery: In the old section: West Hill Lot 158 Gann, William H. 1850 - 1912 [joint marker with Sarah below] Gann, Sarah Joiner 1866 - 1931 In the new section: C45 James, Charlie E. 31 Oct 1888 - 18 Feb 1920 [Woodmen of the World marker] James, Mattie B. 16 Jan 1889 - 13 Jul 1978 Gann, Lucille J. 24 Feb 1911 - 27 Aug 1986 Lot E34 Huff, Tiller B. 3 Mar 1890 - 27 Mar 1926 Huff, Eula B. 3 Mar 1895 - 5 Feb 1986 Wread, M.L. 10 May 1874 - 6 Apr 1965, Architect Wread, Ester May 17 Feb 1893 - 13 Aug 1983, Mother Hall, Mary Elizabeth 30 Sep 1899 - 29 Apr 1994 Hall, Ava Harris 30 Jun 1880 - 21 Apr 1934 Hall, Beverly W., M.D. 9 Feb 1865 - 10 Dec 1939 Hall, Linnie Gann 25 Dec 1863 - 4 May 1935, Mother Lot F19 Martin plot Potter, ______ [Note: marker face down & unreadable] Deason, Lucius H. 1876 - 1955 Deason, Estelle M. 1890 - 1981 Martin, J.

I don't see it in my records. I thought that what we now know as Clarke was originally a part of Franklin and Wilkes. Greene was carved out in 1786. Oglethorpe was carved out of Wilkes in 1793. Jackson carved out of Franklin in 1796. Clarke carved out of Jackson and Oglethorpe in 1801. Madison carved out of Clarke, Elbert, Franklin, Jackson, and Oglethorpe in 1811. Oconee from Clarke in 1875. If there were others, then it might have been small plots of land and not significant enough to signal a map change.

I just wanted to remind everyone that there is a known problem with the search feature for the Archives. The problem is good in a sense, as the Archives has exceeded the capacity of the search engine. Rootsweb is working on the problem and will get it back up and running as soon as possible.

Speaking of cemeteries in Clarke County: I am looking for the old Gann Cem which would be located (or was located if now destroyed) along Timothy Road between the Middle Fork of the Oconee and McNutt's Creek - cem may or may not have had any markers and would date from the early 1800's - Nathan Gann Sr bought the property in 1799 while still in Jackson County. Cem mentioned in deeds and family documents - burials up to about 1890 we believe. Does anyone have any clues as to where this cem might be? The original tract was about 300 acres but now full of subdivisions. Thanks Douglas R. Davis

I believe (please verify this) that Oconee county was once Clarke County. . . Clarke county divided and Oconee was formed from part of Clarke County? Anyway, I believe we were always considered to be "Barbers Creek Township" while I lived there from the 1960's. Barbers Creek is right off Mars Hill Road. Watkinsville is the county seat now.
