The Cartecay River joins with the Ellijay River in downtown Ellijay. Probably just an early (or incorrect) spelling. Together they form the Coosawatee. -----Original Message----- From: Rod or Leslie [mailto:aeriehollow@ellijay.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 7:42 PM To: GAGILMER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GAGILMER] Cotacoa River I am trying to determine which river in Gilmer County would have been called this name Cotacoa, in 1837??? Has anyone come across this in reading any materials associated with the city of Ellijay... says it is on this river... was that the name that the Ellijay River was known as first?
