- NOTED INDIAN SETTLEMENT
Kennard's Settlement and Cowpens,
a major Creek Indian center of Southwest Georgia, was located
three and three-fourths miles west of here, on the east side
of Kinchafoonee Creek. The site was named for Jack and William
Kennard, two Lower Creek chiefs who were long friendly to white
people.
This road is a remnant of an early
Indian trading paath that led from Flint River via Kennard's
Settlement and Fort Gaines, Georgia to Pensacola, Florida.
