Patrick,

I support your conclusions. Here is a little bit of evidence:

Passports of Southeastern Pioneers - 1770-1823 - Dorothy Williams
Potter

Pg. 90 - Tobias WHITEHEAD has permission to pass through the Cherokee
Nation to Franklin County in the state of Georgia conducting himself
with propriety. R. J. Meigs So W point 1st Jany 1802

Tobias, Jacob, William and Archibald WHITEHEAD all went to Lincoln
County from Franklin County, Ga starting about 1805. Perhaps Tobias was
making the 1802 journey to buy land. Other Franklin county families
with ties to the WHITEHEADS went also (William SMITH, Richard DOWNS)
