WILLIAM NESBIT 1789-1863
This is what other Geocachers have written:
Veteran of War of 1812
Widened an Indian trail in 1813, then supervised the building of a military road from Fort Daniel to a shallow ford on the Chattahoochee River. This is now Peachtree Road.
About 1815, meeting at the Wynn House at Hog Mountain, he and others began the creation of Gwinnett County and was appointed first sheriff and was elected the second and fourth terms. As state legislator, he represented Gwinnett County, at Milledgeville, from 1829 to 1837. On this site was located his plantation of 650 acres.
The sign is now complete.
Thanks to all the Geogachers that worked on reading the words from the "OLD" sign in the graveyard.
