It went all the way to the river just down from Dead River; that's where Phillips Ferry was. I've been to the river that way many times growing up. Now it's cut off by the Interstate. (Olivia) September 1, 1828 Ordered that Mathias Adams, Thomas C. Sullivan & William C. Phillips to be appointed commissioners to open a road from Nichols & Co. Ferry on the Oconee River to Ephraim Phillips Ferry on the Ohoopee. _______________________________________ "One cannot be sure of the exact location of the very old roads in this section, but their general courses and stops along the way can be located fairly accurately. In general, the first roads followed the trails and paths of Indians along the streams which connected with settlements in the interior. Some well-known roads in this area were the Sunbury Road, the old Savannah Dublin Road, Old Rebel Road, Burkhalter Road, and possibly more. The Old Savannah-Dublin Road through here, which is thought to have been a branch of a free road built from private subscriptions about 1825, followed more than one course in this immediate area. Whether these different roads were only connectors of the main road and all in use at the same time, or at different times, is not known. One Dublin road extended from Jencks Bridge in Evans County in a northwesterly direction along the Eastern side of the Canoochee into Candler, then crossed the Canoochee and went along with the Sunbury Road, headed northward and westward. Adiel Sherwood's Gazateer of 1837 listed the stage schedule over one of the Dublin Roads from Savannah to Macon as three trips weekly, the fare __18 dollars, and the time six hours. http://www.candlersonsofconfederacy.homestead.com/historyofcandlercounty.html ____________________________________ U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865 about Nelson Corbin Name: Nelson Corbin Side: Confederate Regiment State/Origin: Georgia Regiment Name: Capt.

CORBIN: Burial: Corbin Cemetery, Emanuel Co., GA Notes for Nancy WILLIAMSON: First woman to vote in Emanuel County. She was taken to the polls by her son, Neal Corbin. _____________ Here are a couple of more stories about Nancy and Nelson Corbin. I don't know why Nancy's father was so set against Nelson being able to court her, but Nelson had to sneak over to her house after her parents were in bed and she would climb out her window to meet him. One night, she had some other girl spending the night with her. Nelson and a friend sneaked over there, and hid behind some bushes next to the porch. Nancy and her friend wanted to relieve themselves and didn't want to walk out in the dark to the privy. You guessed it; they went to the edge of the porch, hitched up their nightgowns and peed all over the boys. The other story concerns the first time she tried to elope with him. She had climbed out the window with her little trunk packed and was waiting for him. He was hiding in the watermelon patch, waiting for the right time to go up to the house. Unknown to him, a little black boy was in the watermelon patch trying to steal melons. They ran slap up against each other, each thought the other was Mr. Williamson, and both hightailed it in opposite directions. Nancy waited until dawn, then climbed back in the window and unpacked her trunk.
