870 in the 1832 Georgia gold lottery? Cabin is on Land lot 871
Land lot 870 is also the site of the brick cook house. This cook house is believed to be part of the estate of David Vann. Vann was dispossessed of his estate holdings during the Cherokee removal. The property valuations conducted during that time list numerous outbuildings on Vann’s plantation. The brick cook house is believed to be the kitchen referred to in the property listing.

On the Trail of the Trail: Apocalypse This Saturday -- Be There!
On the Trail of the Trail: Apocalypse This Saturday -- Be There!: "December 16, 1811: Early at three o’clock two shocks of an earthquake were felt. The house[s] trembled and everything in them was in movement. The hens fell to the ground from their roosts and set up a pitiful cry. At 8 o’clock another but lighter shock was felt."
