Let's see, that would be: DeVane; Lewis; Reddick; Rogers; Wade. Anyone else got such a connection from the Ogeechee River (Black Creek, Mill Creek, Ogeechee Creek [aka Little Ogeechee River]) and the Savannah River (Brier Creek, Beaver Dam Creek, Rocky Creek, McDaniel Creek, Little Sweetwater Creek, Buck Creek) areas of easternmost Georgia centrally located between Savannah and Augusta? I'm sure that I'm missing or have otherwise overlooked something!
