Portions of Pierce County were used to create Bacon County (1914) and Brantley County (1920). It lies at the southern end of the Appalachians in North Georgia, a region once occupied by the Cherokee Indians Indians until the tribes were forced from the Carolinas in the 1770s. In 1805, the Federal Government forced the Cherokees to accept a road through their lands to Nashville. Portions of the Old Federal Road are still visible in the County today. The 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery gave these lands to white settlers. The County was formed from portions of Cherokee and Gilmer Counties in 1853.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56ef176 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56ef176\" 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\">Wills<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b85facd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b85facd\" 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<ul><li>Pierce County Index to Wills 1872-1941.<\/li><li>Pierce County Index of Inventories and Appraisements, Book A, 1875-1911.<\/li><li>Pierce County Marriages from newspapers 1885-1886.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ba48d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ba48d8\" 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<ul><li>Testators: Georgia Day, Luther Greenleaf, A.
