    1. Re: Claxton, Georgia
    2. Claxton is in Evans County, Georgia west of Statesboro, Georgia. Claxton is the "Fruit Cake Capital" of the world. All those Claxton Fruit Cakes you see in the stores come from there. Most of its history and people are well documented and available through family histories and manuscripts. Lots of Sapps were founders and early pioneers of Tattnall County, Georgia and can be found in their county records over the years. Many Sapp descendants still live in the area. Evans County was carved out of Tattnall and Bulloch County later. Some Sapps also lived in Bryan County, Georgia. <A HREF="http://lcom.com/Library/genealogy.html">Bulloch County Genealogy Department</A> Statesboro Regional Library has a good genealogy department that would include Evans and Tattnall counties. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/gaindex.htm">Georgia USGenWeb State Page</A> - You should be able to find a webb site for Tattnall and or Evans County at this site. You can read and post inquiries at these sites about your Sapp and related families. Good luck with your research. Al Chassereau Savannah, GA AChasserea@aol.com P.S. Claxton, Georgia would be near I-16 between Macon and Savannah at exit 29 at Hwy. 301. Turn right on 301 for Claxton and turn left on 301 for Statesboro.
