This [Washington] county was established [25 February] in 1784. It then included all the territory from the Cherokee Corner, north, extending from the Ogeechee to the Oconee, south to Liberty County. In 1786 a portion of it was added to Greene; in 1793, a part to Hancock; in 1807, a part to Baldwin; in 1811, a part to Laurens; and in 1812 and 1826, more to Baldwin.   The streams are the Oconee, Ogeechee, and Ohoopee, besides a number of creeks.   Fine burrstone [a tough limestone once used for millstones] is abundant. Near Saundersville [Sandersville] are five or six lime-sinks, or caves, in which fossil teeth, ribs, and shells of endless variety are gathered in almost any quantity.   Saundersville is the capital, 28 miles east of Milledgeville.   The climate is moderate. The instances of longevity which have come to our knowledge are, Wm RACHEL, who died at the age of 118 years; Mr. BEDGOOD, at 112; Mr. PEACOCK, 85; Elisabeth HANSON, 93; Wm WILLIAMS, 86; Thomas LOVE, 90; and Mr. John JOURDON, a Revolutionary soldier, at a very advanced age.   Major Nicholas CURRY died in this county, aged 67. He entered the Revolutionary army a private soldier, and left it with the rank of Captain of Dragoons, after a hard service of five years. During that period he shared in many of the perils and hardships of the war, and was always active and efficient upon the field of battle.   Among the early settlers of this county were Alexander IRWIN, John RUTHERFORD, Wm JOHNSON, Elisha WILLIAMS, Jared IRWIN, Jacob DENNARD, John ROBERTSON, Joseph BEDDINGFIELD, Philemon FRANKLIN, Aaron SINQUEFIELD, Joseph AVENT, John SHEPPARD, Jas.
