COLLEGE
HISTORY OF DOUGLAS COUNTY.
In our last issue we said we
would show that a short strip of
territory on the south side of
Oobb county, including in it the
town of Austell, belonged to the
county of Douglas.
When this country was settled
it was occupied by the Indians,
and by certain agreements with
them, what were then called pur
chases, made with Indian chiefs.
One of these was called the Oar-
roll purchase and another the
Cherokee purchase.
On the side of the Carroll pur
chase is now called, originally
Carroll, then Campbell but now
Douglas county, and that on the
east and north side of the
Cherokee purchase was called
originally Cherokee, but now
Douglas, Paulding, Oobb, Polk,
Haralson and a number of other
counties.
This Cherokee purchase line,
as it is now called, begins at a
point on the Chattahoochee river
near the Edge farm above- Ader-
hold’s fcr'-y was oneelknown as
Buzzard Roost.
This line does not run in a di
rect east and west course; neith
er is it a straight line. It runs
jiorth of west a few degrees
through Pouglfts, Paulding and
other counties. It crosses the
Southern Railway one mile east
of the court house, near the resi
dence of 0. B. Baggett.
The lots of land that originally
belonged to Carroll and to the
Cherokee purchase are laid off,
as near as can be done, north and
south and whenever they strike
this purchase line, either on the
north (side or the south side of
the line, it makes fraptiopp from
one end of the purchase line to
the other.
There is no correct plat in the
Comptroller General’s office or
in any other department of the
State.
The platp that were made when
Campbell county was laid out
were incorrectly joined together
by some kind of a mistake. In
many instances a lot of land in
the Cherokee purchase line is
put down on this plat as being
two miles past of where it really
lies, and this is the case all the
way through^^ from Buz>
Roost to the "western lim\t of the
cq ... j.. ?
Campbell county
torynortnand east of this, pur
chase line that was to constitute
the coupty of Campbell. This
territory was measured by de
grees in mile lengths,
In the mistake in platting the
land so as to make them appear
two miles and other lengths far
ther southeast than they really
are, reduced the territory on the
north borders of the. county from
a half mile to a mile on the en
tire northern portion of Camp
bell county, and, whereas, if
measured from the lots of land
where they really are, it would
extend the same length into
Cobb. This, however, we have
not fully investigated.
Thus it will be seen that a con
siderable territory, which, all
the while, has been conceded to
be in Oobb county, when really
it was Campbell but now Doug
las.
If, in fact, this territory does
county
would owe the taxes collected on
the same to this county since its
creation, in 1870.
There may be some legal diffi
culty in the way on account of
an act that was passed by Prof.
F. M. Duncan while he was rep
resenting this county in the leg
islature. In the early 70’s an
act was passed by him changing
the county line by adding a cer-
