NOTES: I'm certain that Usry Creek was named after the Usry family though I don't know who, probably Joseph Isaiah Green Usry (I.G. Usry). John L.B. Usry (son of I.G.) operated a grist mill on the creek. It has long since burned and some automobile crashed into it years ago. I believe the old mill pond is now dry. Joseph Isaiah Green Usry and Charity Joshlyn Hart lived about six miles north of Ellaville, Georgia on what is now Hwy 240 in an area known as Murray's Crossroads, just west of Macon County. They had three children: Joshua Franklin Usry b. 1854 Amanda Elizabeth Usry b. 1858 John Littleton Barney Usry b. 1862 In Dec 1882 John Littleton Barney Usry married Elizabeth Theodosia Johnson b.
