HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood You are correct, Winnette, about those county lines. But in this case we have: Twiggs formed from Wilkinson in 1809. Houston (west of Twiggs) formed from Creek Indian land in 1821. Bibb and Crawford formed from Houston in 1822. This places Bibb west of Twiggs which was west of Wilkinson and all established before our timeline. See a great site at http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps/ga_cf.html to follow the county formations. From this site, use the Home link to access formation maps for all the states. Wunnerful site that I use constantly. Nel

Thanks, Winnette
