Does anyone know anything about Valley Grove Academy -- where it may have been located? In 1883 there was a community called Valley -- located in northeast Talbot. http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/talbotcopn.htm Wonder if this was connected? Did the name come from the geography of the area? Dec 1836 Georgia Legislature: Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That Alexander Buchanan, John Cook, John Russell, John Ellison and James Bonner, and their successors in office, be, and they are hereby declared to be a body corporate, by the style of the Trustees of Valley Grove Academy, in Talbot county.
