Note: The following is one of a series of columns looking at the first road systems in Georgia and Bulloch County. William Harden's "A History of Savannah and South Georgia" (1913) recounts Francis Moore's description of Savannah: "The town is laid out for two hundred and forty Free-holds...(and that) where the town lands' end, the (outlying) villages begin." Captain Hugh McCall's "The History of Georgia" (1811) stated that the first road leading from Savannah was "opened...to the plantations of Captain Demere, Mr. Hawkins, and General Oglethorpe."
