I have seen Barber’s Creek listed in some of my research and I was wondering if someone could explain where this area actually is. I know that a Civil War battle happened in this area as well. I am trying to figure out 2 main things –

1) Is this area close to the Mars Hill Road and William Daniell house area?

2) Does anyone know why it is called Barber’s Creek? Did a Barber family live there at some point?

I’m trying to figure out if possibly a Barber family lived near the Daniell’s because I have a William Barber marrying William Daniell’s daughter, Rachel in Clarke County in January 1810 who are my 3GGparents. I have found Daniell information at times, but I have not been able to find William Barber’s family although it seems that they lived somewhere in the area.

Barber's Creek starts in Barrow County basically where "The Georgia Club" is located. It flows into Oconee County and crosses Mars Hill Road before joining with McNutts Creek in Clarke County and then into the Middle Oconee River. Try Map Quest maps and enter 2481 Mars Hill Road, Winterville, GA. You should be able to find the creek location that way. Also found this deed http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaoconee/Records/Property/... on the Oconee County, GA rootsweb site. Calls Creek is near Barber Creek. Here's a good link to William Daniell, http://www.avoc.info/info/article.php?article=3714 . Daniell's home was on Barber Creek. This area was orginally in Jackson County, then Clarke, now Oconee. Hope this help. Neither Daniell nor Barber are my families.

Thanks, that does help quite a bit since it gets confusing as to where the creek actually is in today's terms. :) The deed may help too.
