Date: 10/26/03 3:37:15 AM Pacific Standard Time From: deller@mindspring.com To: VCJFreeman@aol.com Sent from the Internet (Details) Jane and Valerie: We know of at least 7 men who were in the area that became Heard Co. in the early 1820's with the Indians as traders and surveying the land along the state line and the river. Don't forget to check Fayette Co., GA for early marriage records of people who settled in Heard and Randolph Co., AL. We have found several marriages there!
