Note:
Big Holly Cabin - This heart pine cabin is one of the few
remaining
examples of a single pen (room) cabin built
when this was the Georgia mountain frontier. The hand-hewn
logs
are joined with full-dove tail corner notching and the logs
are chinked
on the interior with wooden battens. This type of cabin was
once
plentiful, but they usually evolved into double pen cabins
or larger
houses with frame additions.
Note:
In 1820, Haywood English built a log house on unclaimed Land
Lot 85,
District 11, near the Chattahoochee River. In 1841, the original
lottery
recipient of this lot belately laid claim to it. In a series
of legal
actions, which eventually ended in the Georgia Supreme Court,
English lost
his plea of "sitters rights" and moved to this location.
Family legend
contends this to be the same log house initially built on
Land Lot 85 in
1820, and moved to this location in 1849. The cabin was restored
by a descendent of the English family in 1986-87.

Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON ENGLISH:
A George W. English is found buried in Love/English cemetery
in Habersham Co., GA; date of death is 25 Nov 1920 at age
97. This would make George born 1823, which date census data
does not support. However, this may, in fact be the Same George
W. English. Also buried in the cemetery are Emma S. English
(found as wife of George W. English on census) b. 09 Sep 1840
d. 30 Mar 1932 and Edward A. English b. 27 Mar 1877 d. 12
Jan 1959 (found as son of George on census). Because this
seems to be the correct family...some data must have been
incorrect from census base or from cemetery records. Also
buried at the same cemetery are twins (children of G. W. and
E. S. English), Claud and Roy, no dates.
