Sorry to respond to the list, but I don;t see an e-mail address for Ms.
Jenkins:
The county was named for the river and the river (one of two in Georgia
by the name) came from a Cherokee phrase:
Chattooga (River) - From the Cherokee "Tsatu-gi", although some say the
meaning
is not clear and appears to be of non-Cherokee origin. Others say it is
Cherokee and means "has crossed the river" and "drank by sips" or "he sips".
There is some indication of an ancient settlement named "Tsatu-gi" that was
on
In the original thirteen colonies, lands were broken up into numbered Land
Lots and Districts, where original lines often followed natural features
such as ridges or streams.. In states added later, surveys followed a
system based on breaking down rectangles of latitude and longitude. Except
for new counties being created from old ones, there is no reason why
district 1028 shouldn't be where it was 200 years ago. The county tax
assessor's office should have this information.

Hello,
Does anyone have a cemetery book on Mount Joy Cemetery in Chattooga County. I
believe that it was near a church and there may not be many names in it and
it may no longer be used. It may be in the Subligna area.
I need a listing of all people buried in the cemetery, if possible.
Thanks
Beverly Foster
It was named for the river I think...
