INTRODUCTION At its regular session in the year 1929 the General Assembly of the State of Georgia passed the following resolution : No. 36 "Resolved, by the General Assembly of Georgia, both Houses thereof concurring therein, that the judges of the superior courts of the State are hereby earnestly requested to give in charge to the grand jury of each county in their several circuits, at the next term of the court therein, the urgent request of this General Assem- bly that they will secure the consent of some competent person in their county to prepare between now and February 13,)1933, being Georgia Day, as nearly a corn- glete history of the formation, development, and progress of said county from its creation up to that date, to- gether with accounts of such persons, families, and public events as have given character and fame to the county, the State, and the Nation. ~ndthat said county histories be deposited on Georgia Day in 1933 in the State's Department of Archives and History-there to he preserved for the information of future citizens of the State and prospective biographers and historians. And this action is recommended to the judges, grand juries, and the people of all the counties of the State, for early procedure, because delay will leave action in this behalf too short a time for the necessary research and accumulation of data to make the county histories as full and accurate as they should be for full historic value." In the grand jury presentments of the July term, 1930, Judge C. C. Pittman, Judge G. H. Aubrey, and Commissioner A. V. Neal, were appointed as a commit= tee to employ an historian to write the history of Bartow. Miss Lucy J. Cunyus was selected in June, 1931 for this purpose.

FOREWORD This history-with apologies to John Galsworthy- is but the story of people who took things into their own hands and made themselves accountable or of no account. As we write this foreword in 1933 many changes are taking place. This history closed with the year 1932 and we cannot mention those changes. Facts and not flowers have been diligently sought; common sense in subject matter and possible informa- tion for the future historian and genealogist has been kept in mind. The plan to sketch the type of pioneer men and women, from 1830 to 1860, who made this county what it is today, has been a difficult task. Time permits no further research, though lack of family data and interest make the record incomplete. Financial conditions make it impossible to include as many illustra- tions as we wanted. Grateful acknowledgments are made to : The earlier historians-White, Stevens, McCall, C. C. Jones, G. G. Smith, Northen, Evans, Knight, Howell, et,c., and the Civil War autobiographies; Miss Leila Darden of Kingston who so generously shared all the data she had collected during her resi- dence here ; C Miss Callie Jackson, the only official appointed by a woman's club, named to assist from the Stilesboro community ; Mrs. A.

CHAPTER I INDIAN 0 CCUPATION The northwestern part of the chartered limits of this State, north of the Chattahoochee river, prior to and in 1827, was occupied by the Cherokee Indians. Their government was republican and their capital was at New Echota, near Calhoun, Georgia. Besides their own form of government, the United States Govern- ment claimed the right of enforcing intercourse laws for the government of the Indian tribes, and Georgia had extended her criminal laws over the portion where the Cherokees were located. This same year, 1827, the resolution was introduced in the 20th U. S. Congress to provide for their removal west of the Mississippi river. At this time the Cherokees in Northwest Georgia were the most intellectual and best educated tribe of Indians. They had their written constitution and code of laws by which they declared themselves to be a free and independent state and people. They had their own newspapers, the "Cherokee Phoenix", 1828-34, edited by Elias Boudinott; the Cherokee alphabet by Sequoya was known and taught; and their children had had missionary training.
