I was delighted by your quick response.Have never attended the reunions in Everett Springs, but have been there twice to visit our dear cousin, Daniel Miller ("Dan") Everett who died 17 August 1998 at the age of 89.
He was born in the house across the street from the Everett Springs Cemetery that his father built, lived there all his life and died there.A wonderful man whose loss we still grieve.With bleach, water and a scrub brush, Dan tended the tombstones of all his family buried there--including my gg-aunt Mildred Deal who married Elkanan ("Cain") Everett about 1835.It is they who had "the first white child"--non-Cherokee--born in the Everett Springs area.
I'm happy to share what I have with you, and can put you in touch with a dear friend in McDonough, GA who has really done the research on this family.
Kindest regards,
Bill Deal
