Thanks to John Adams, we have the story behind the name for Timm's Creek.... you'll find it fascinating. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folklore has it that an old Creek Indian, called Tim, lived on here after the Indians moved West, and so the creek became known as Tim's Creek, or Timms Creek. This creek runs behind the old farm of my mother's father, James Thomas Beeland, known as "Jim Tom". After we moved to Thomaston, my dad, brother and I often hunted squirrels on Timms Creek. It crosses the dirt road and there is no bridge so you drive through the creek. We would play in the creek and wash our cars. Very shallow and almost ran dry a year or two ago because of no rain. My grandchildren like to pick up the smooth rocks and carry them home.A very quiet and peaceful place. The sound of the water flowing over the rocks is very soothing to an old country boy!!
