I recently found a map at the GA Archives. The map was published in 1780 and is known as the "Stuart-DeBrahm Map" of South Carolina and Georgia. The details are similar to the "Mills Atlas" except that it shows fewer families. My interest in it was that it showed a Dennis Tavern in the location that the 1825 Mills Atlas shows HDennis. The area is approx. the southern most part of the High Hills. I reseach a Dennis family that probate records place connect to that exact area. My question is does anyone have any idea if taverns liscenses where need in the time around 1780 and where would I look. Thanks for any help. David Dennis David Dennis, Proud Rootsweb Donor
