I posted this a couple of weeks ago but it never came to me--can someone let me know if this post went through? thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry L. Hamby To: GAMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 11:59 AM Subject: Murray Co petition asking to form militia against Indians 1837 or 1838 Hello, I have seen references in the list archives to a petition generated in Murray Co, GA, of men desiring to form a militia to fight Indians remaining in what was formerly Cherokee Co. The petition would have been circulated around 1837 or 1838. Does anyone know how I can access this list? I am curious to see if my Murray Co ancestors might be on it. Also, does anyone know about how Murray Co fit into the Trail of Tears? Thanks, Sherry Hamby slhamby@carolina.net
