Hello Jeanne and other family researchers, This is quite a project you have undertaken! I hope this helps a little. Found at the following url is a 1794 map of what there was of Georgia at that time: (Georgia, from the latest authorities [Barker 1794] [216kb] ) http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/1794g4.jpg This map is found in "The Hargrett Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at the University of Georgia" at the following url: http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/maps.html and Rare Map Collection - 19th Century Georgia - from Frontier to New South http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/nine.html Oglethorpe County was formed December 19, 1793. Apparently the map makers had done their work and sent it to the printers just prior to Oglethorpe's creation due to it not showing as being formed yet. Madison County and Lincoln County had not yet been formed. The map shows that Wilkes County ran from the Savannah River west along the Little River to about it's end and then turned northwest covering the area including the South Fork of the Broad River and bordered to the North along the Broad and Hudson Rivers. This area includes most of present day Wilkes, Lincoln, Oglethorpe, and Madison Counties. Neighboring counties for Wilkes were Elbert County and Franklin County to the North, Greene County to the West, and Columbia County to the South. Per the USGenWeb Project page for Oglethorpe County found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaogleth/ "The first permanent settlement was on Long Creek near the present day Lexington." Here's the part that may help with your project. My 5th great grandfather Robert Carruth moved to Georgia from N.C. about 1794. I have information for him showing he is listed among, "THE LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS IN GEORGIA," showing that he was there and was named with a son, Adam, in the year 1794. Also, the first land he acquired there was 200 acres in Wilkes County on a stream described as Dry Fork of Long Creek. Also, he saw military service in Georgia in Captain Obednego Moore's Company, Colonel William Bailey's Regiment. He is shown on the 1800 Census as Robert Carooth (name was misspelled). At the top of the page there is a notation, "Capt. McCarley's District Oglethorpe County (cont.)." There is a page number at the bottom of the page showing page 22. His son James Carruth is also on the 1800 Census. He is listed as "James Carooth (?)" and is shown on page 3 with "Capt. Colliers District Oglethorpe County (cont.)" at the top of the page. I have information showing James is as obtaining 60 acres on Long Creek and disposing of it in 1805 when he purchased 99 acres on Bluestone Creek in Oglethorpe County (Madison County was not formed until December 5, 1811). Robert's home at the time of his death in 1815, was also on Blue Stone Creek. I do not have record of when he moved form the Long Creek area. If anyone reading this message has more information on the Carruth/Carrouth family from this area, please contact me at: Harvey33@aol.com Best wishes to all, Harvey Carrouth <A HREF="http://carruthfam.email.listbot.com/"> http://carruthfam.email.listbot.com/</A> <A HREF="http://www.bnpages.com/hobbies/carrouth/index.html"> http://www.bnpages.com/hobbies/carrouth/index.html</A> Ps - off of this subject, I'm searching for the following graves of my ancestors. Adam Carruth was born ca. 1704 in Antrim Co., Ireland and died in 1782 near present day Gastonia, N.C. Robert Carruth (mentioned above) was born in Augusta Co., Va. in 1746 and died in Madison County, Ga. in 1815. Adam Carruth (mentioned above) was born in ca. 1773-1774 in (now) Rutherford Co., N.C. and died in late 1840 in Madison County, Ga. He owned land located on the South Fork of the Broad River in Madison County and operated a Mill called Carruth Mill located on the Hudson Fork of Broad River in Madison County on or near Branch Creek. James Elbert Carruth was born ca. 1804-1810 in Madison Co., Ga. and died in 1850. He lived near Ft. Lamar, Madison County, Ga. at the time of his death. He was married to Harriet Nance Andrew and they had seven sons. << Hi All, I'm trying to figure out exactly where all the enumeration districts were on the 1800 Oglethorpe census. I know that Capt. Mathew's dist. was in the Goosepond area, and Capt. Colbert's dist. included the part that is now Madison County -- but the rest are a mystery to me! If anyone knows approximately where your Oglethorpe ancestors were living in the early 1800s (or any creek/river names they lived near), would you let me know? Then I can see if they're on the 1800 census and which district they're in and maybe put this together. THANKS! Jeanne Arguelles ejarguelles@msn.com >>
