Note: The following is one of a series of columns looking at the first road systems in Georgia and Bulloch County. The first real road built by settlers in Georgia was described in "A Voyage to Georgia, Begun in the Year 1735," written by Francis Moore in 1744. He wrote, "On the 30th (of March) Mr. Oglethorpe agreed with Mr. Jonathon Brian to furnish him with eighteen hands to assist him in cutting roads through that part of Georgia."
