He had an apartment at 2628 Northeast Expressway, Atlanta, Georgia, so his big brother decided he should visit little brother Forrest. After seeing the sights, I spent about a week at The Georgia Archives and Records Building where I found this history of the Nuckolls family. This particular branch was not in much detail, but B. F.
