FORSYTH COUNTY, Georgia from George White's 1854 Book Historical Collections of Georgia FORSYTH COUNTY, Georgia From George White's 1854 Book Historical Collections of Georgia Laid out from Cherokee in 1832; named after the Hon. John Forsyth. The lands on the rivers and creeks are fertile. The climate is healthy. CUMMING, named after Colonel William Cumming, is the county town, 145 miles from Milledgeville; it is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The public places are Big Creek, Hartford, High Tower, Vickery's Creek and Warsaw. This section lies in the gold region. The mineral resources are supposed to be great. The principal streams are the Chattahoochee and Etowah. There are several creeks, such as Vickery's, Dicks's, John's, &c. According to the census of 1850, thee were in this county--Dwellings, 1,334; families, 1,334; white males, 3,950; white females 3,862; free coloured males, 6; free coloured females, 5. Total free population, 7,823. Slaves 1,027. Deaths, 39. Farms, 765; manufacturing establishments, 8. Value of real estate, $672,978; value of personal estate, $700,426. The first persons who made settlements in this county were, A. SCUDDER, L. BLACKBURN, JOHN JOLLY, W. W. VAUGHAN, A. CAMERON, Wm. ROGERS, JOHN ROGERS, Noah STRONG, L. HUDSON, B. ALLEN, W. H. BACON, L. D. HARRIS, E. HARRIS, GEO. KELLOGG, MR. JULIAN, ALFRED HUDSON, W. G. FIELDS. On Mr. Roger's plantation, twelve miles south of Cumming, on the road to Lawrenceville, are several mounds. On the road from Canton to Dahlonega, ten miles northwest from Cumming, is a very remarkable rock, an unhewn mass of granite, eight and a half feet long, and two and a half feet wide, three sided, with irregular converging points, upon which are numerous characters, seventeen of them in varying shape. The largest circles are eight inches in diameter. From its appearance, it must have been wrought at a very remote period. The designs are very regular, and it is probable that they were executed by the same race of people who constructed the mounds in this and other sections of the State.

Clement - Editor James I. Morris, Publisher The eastern question is not yet solved. Tilden & Hendrix would make a good team. "T" was enjoyed hugely by the Wildcat Officials. The Senate has assumed jurisdiction in the Belknap case. James Gordon Benett is likely to lose his "dearest" lovely May." Conkling appears to be the machine candidate for President. The effort to implicate Speaker Kerr with bribery is "too thin". Congress is still playing at cross purposes. In the meantime, the people suffer. It is said that calicoes are sold cheaper in Cumming than they are in Atlanta. Who the next Governor will be" Would rhyme with C, but better with G. The Sultan of Turkey has been dethroned and Murad Effendi has been throned in his stead. A fair deal and open, manly chance, is all that Gen. Gartrell's friends ask in his behalf. Southern Democrats broke up the national democratic party in 1860 by insisting on the 2/3 rule. They would now run the risk of breaking it up by adopting the majority rule.

I am grateful for the guidance offered by my Thesis Committee of three professors. Thesis Committee Chair, Professor Maria Dakake, also served as my advisor over a period of years in planning a course of study that truly has been interdisciplinary. It has been a joyful situation to be admitted to a variety of history, religion and spirituality, folklore, ethnographic writing, and research courses under the umbrella of one Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies program. Much of the inspiration for this thesis occurred at George Mason University in Professor Debra Lattanzi Shutika’s Folklore class on “Sense of Place” in which the world of Ethnography opened up for me.
