The first white man&#8217;s trading post was established in 1835 by W. G. Black from North Carolina. Douglas County County was created in 1870 during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War and was first named for Fredrick Douglas County, the African-American abolitionist. When the General Assembly was re-established, reconstruction ended the name was changed to honor Stephen A. Douglas, the Illinois Senator who opposed Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency. The first known settlers in the County came in 1848, three brothers from South Carolina &#8211; Abe, Reuben, and Young Vansant; J. M. Abercrombie, C. B. Baggett, Alexander Cochran, S. N. Dorsett, T. M. Entretine, W. H. Johnston, A. T. Tucker, and others.

As white settlers traversed across the county, the government drew a boundary line about one mile east of Douglasville, between the Indian tribes on the north (Cherokees) and south (Creeks). During the 1830s the Indians were forced to cede all their lands east of the Mississippi River to the federal government.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b61b8b7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b61b8b7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da7724d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"da7724d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8aae79c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8aae79c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Oldest Faded Documents are Now Readable over the Internet<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53798c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53798c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This website provides a list of all available data to members before they join. Click on &#8220;databases&#8221; But it gets better if you click on &#8220;counties&#8221; there is a complete list of all of the names of testators (of wills and estates). Although there are some book indexes of wills and estates, they are not always complete.<br \/><br \/>While digitizing wills for the States of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, I discovered items not indexed. The reason is probably because of old colonial-style writing, faded ink, torn pages, and wear and tear over the ages. By the time the courthouse books were microfilmed during the 1950s, they were already in a state of decay. However, with the improved technology of today for imaging, microfilming, and Internet visibility, there is a better chance of actually reading some of the faded pages. With a little bit of study, one can usually interpret the worst documents.<br \/><br \/>The old colonial handwriting is best interpreted by a print-out of the document. Then a close study using a colonial handwriting guide. First, resolve what the surname looks like in colonial handwriting. Then, other standard languages. The beginning of Old Wills begins with &#8221; In the Name of God, Amen&#8221; With that information, one can work out the letters. Eventually, one understands the characters and solves the puzzle.\u00a0<i>Do you hear what I am saying?<\/i>\u00a0Some of the oldest, most tattered records can be read today with reasonable effort.<br \/><br \/>Images of old wills, estates, marriages, and other courthouse records on this website include the following States: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

During the Civil War, there were many brave soldiers who fought some pretty tough battles. Take Confederate General Pickens, whose troops charged a Gettysburg hill only to be cut down in cold blood. The charge was ordered by Confederate General Robert E. Lee against the Union position of Major General. George G. Meade is situated on Cemetery Ridge. It was July 3, 1863, on the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Lt. General James Longstreet predicted its doom. The farthest point reached by the attack has been referred to as the high-water mark of the Confederacy. The decision to cross that field was a tactical error; the field which they crossed was full of potholes and there was no visual except for the Yankee troops who saw them coming! The genealogist can find his ancestors among the confederates in the pension records, who, if he lived until 1903, began receiving a tiny pension. After the war, wounded Confederate soldiers resided in virtual poverty.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aa9323
