I failed to include the location "Dunlap Creek of Rabun" in Deed O-105. I have never seen Dunlap Cr. labeled on a map, but I believe that it flowed from Highland Home down to Mountain Cr. Mountain Cr. is a tributary of North Rabun Cr. What I think of as Dunlap Cr. could also be described as the south branch of Mountain Cr. The Gray and Thomasson properties would be about a mile up Dunlap from Mountain Cr., as my best guess. That would be about 2 1/2 mile west of Barksdale. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Cantrell" <pacant1104@yahoo.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 10:29 AM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Re: Gary/Kennedy Deed - Thomasson's > Hi! > Can anyone tell me where in Laurens County this land is located?
