Can you specify who those 7 men were that were traders & surveyors ? Among my most treasured reference resources is a small book by James C. Bonner which I had to copy at the Archives in Atlanta (and failed to copy the front page....aaarrrgghh) so I don't know the name of the book but is a really great little book and, of course, Lynda's History of Heard County plus all the census books and her cemetery book. Would not take a million dollars for any of these. In terms of researching our ancestors, they are worth their weight in gold.
