At the time of the creation of Brantley, my mapper shows Bachlott just above the Charlton line, about five time the distance from the Pierce county line. Another thing I noticed with the change, Pierce County lost area west of the Satilla to Ware county, the area would have included the area west of Schlatterville area to a line just east of where the current line folllowing Hwy 82 turns North to the river. If the current line from 82 to the river is extended south to the current Charlton line everything east of the line would have been Pierce prior to the creation of Brantley. This corrects some of my assumptions that a couple of Cason and Peacock families moved but only the line changed.

Bill, Thanks, every little bit of clarity helps with this.
