The Columbus, GA newspaper -- May 20, 1836
General Orders from the Headquarters at Milledgeville,
Ga. invites Georgians to form into volunteer companies to
be provisioned and supplied by the state, to guard the
banks of the Chattahoochee River from incursions of the
Creeks.
Signed by Bolling H. Robinson, Aide-de-Camp

Also in the June 9th, June 16th, and June 23rd issues of
the Columbus paper are General Orders from many officers,
reports of skirmishes with the Indians. We have not had a
chance to transcribe these pages as of yet. 

Heard Co. had
nearly all of its records destroyed by fire in the
1890's, and we feel very lucky that the papers and
records of the surrounding counties have survived to help
us piece together any information, such as the list
above, to help reconstruct the early records on Heard Co.
