I found a book copyrighted in 1932 that includes some information
regarding the Conn's - it is "The History of Cherokee County" by
Rev. Lloyd G. Marlin.
In the book's "Personal Sketches and Family Accounts" chapter,
pages 257-258, the following is included in the section regarding James H.
Holcomb:
"Ball Ground. Born 1876 in Conn's Creek District, Cherokee Co. Son of
B. F. Holcomb and Elsie Conn Holcomb; grandson of Thomas H. Holcomb and of
Samuel Conn; great-grandson of Henry Holcomb."
"Henry and Thomas H. Holcomb came from North Carolina during Indian
days and settled on Conn's Creek. B. F. Holcomb fought in the Confederate
Army; he is still living at the age of 84; has reared nineteen children,
producing nearly all they used; remembers a trade between his early
neighbors, the Hendrixes and the Tates, for much of the land now
comprising the Tate marble quarries."
"Samuel Conn also came to Cherokee Co. from North Carolina during the
early '30's, and Conn's Creek, Conn's District, a church and a schoolhouse
were later named for him. He obtained a large tract of land on the upper
Etowah from the Indians, trading them a pony for it. Several of the Conns
had Civil War records."
This book also had several other references to the Conn's: In the list of
county officials on page 187, Allen C. Conn was included in the list of
"Ordinaries" with the date Jan. 6, 1893 beside his name and
Cicero Conn was included inthe list of "Tax Collectors" with the
date of Jan. 9, 1873 beside his name.
Conn's listed with Civil War records in the "Companies of the
Cherokee Legion, Georgia State Guards Calvary" are as follows:
T. M. Conn, 1st Corp., Company C, "Cherokee Lincoln Killers"
Francis M. Conn, Private, Company C, "Cherokee Lincoln Killers"
Francis M. Conn, Private, Company F, 28th Regiment, "Cherokee Georgia
Mountaineers"
A. C. D. Conn, Private, Company E, 36th Regiment
Daniel J. Conn, Private, Company E, 36th Regiment
Thomas N. Conn, Private, Company E, 36th Regiment
There is 2 other sons of Samuel that also served in the war James Madison

with brother Thomas N. Conn,James was wounded at the 2nd Manassas,then
transfered to Co A 3rd Battn.Ga.Sharpshooters,Captured at Petersburg
