Hello All, Regarding the Coursey thread that has developed. You might want to look around the area of COURSEY LANDING ROAD, which lies in extreme northeastern Effingham Co. It runs off of the Effingham Co. Springfield Road (which becomes Runs Branch Road upon entering Screven Co.) and heads over to towards the Savannah River, below the site of Eneck Landing in Screven Co. This area can be seen in the Kildare Quadrangle topographic / geodetic map. There is an Eneck cemetary on nearby Pryor Road (Screven Co.) and there is another cemetary located some short distance off of Springfield Road (in Effingham Co.). Now, just to make things worse (or, better[?]), there is also a Coursey Landing Road in Screven Co. This road runs off of Pryor Rd. and appears to run back into the area of the Eneck Landing or the Hudson Ferry Landing. Oh, there is also a Pryor Road in Effingham Co. - just South of Oliver. This cannot get too confusing. If Courseys were concentrated in the area that now has two roads named with the Coursey surname, then searches of the nearby cemetaries might be fruitful. Also, North Newington Church on GA 24 (in Screven Co.) and Mizpah Church located at the intersection Springfield and Clyo-Kildare Roads (in Effingham Co.) are very close by. If anyone wants a scanned image (or two) of the area with the two Coursey Landing Roads, I'll scan and e-mail the image as an attachment. There might be something to find in that area. Dale E.
