    3. http://www.rootsweb.com/~galumpki/history/Auraria_byAB.htm "In 1832 a squatter named William Dean built a cabin on the ridge and soon a tavern was built by Nathaniel Nuckolls. The name of the place once known as “Deans” became “Nuckollsville.” The town had a rough and rowdy society and an unlawful community that included thieves, gamblers, and murders who were often drunk, malicious and looking for a fight. Today many of the local people refer to the town as Knucklesville" because of the many stories that have been handed down about how disputes were settled in the town." I am descended from Sarah Dean and Isaiah Standridge. I have reason to believe Sarah is a sister to James M. Dean and Wiley H. Dean of White Co., GA. I also believe these folks are children of William & Margaret Dean of Habersham Co., Ga. (Is Margaret of Habersham, the same as Elizabeth in White Co.?) William appears to be a Jr. Can anyone elaborate on the paragraph above found on the Lumpkin Co., GA page? Could this be William of Habersham Co. ? Thanks for any input. Terry Jackson
