Hi Folks, My cousin Dr. Niles Reddick came across this online record on the Georgia Archives site and began reading through it. He found some very interesting stuff to note here. The official record starts late in 1818, and the Eagle Tavern was obviously a popular place. Several surnames recognizable to Niles and others in our own research group are: Burton, Braswell, Galphin, Gnann, Clarke, & Moore (surnames commonly found in the Savannah River valley of eastern & southeastern Georgia). On the top of the pages is written "Watkinsville". The modern town of Watkinsville is located on GA 15 just south of Athens in Oconee County. I am going to -guess- that some of the patrons of the Eagle Tavern of Watkinsville may have been early students of Franklin College in Athens (modern UGA). That would help to explain a Salzburger descendant (such as a Gnann) being at a tavern in Watkinsville, GA. Dale E.
