I adopted Bartow County as my home (born in Oklahoma) 25 years ago, I have that right as my great grandfather was full Cherokee and was taken from the Auroria Gold Fields in 1838 with his brother and forced by the white man to go west. He and Goeska escaped and fled into Ohio and changed their names, My grandmother was born in Ohio, where they fled too. So you see it is not where you are born, but what you do while living there.

My name is Jean Belew and I am one of many County Historians and a Genealogist for Bartow County Georgia. Cartersville is the county seat. I live in the Northeast section of the county and have knowledge of all the county. I appreciate your queries. My e-mail is belewjean@yahoo.com Thank you. Jean

The History of Bartow County

Cass County Georgia was created in 1832,from parts of Habersham and Hall Counties, at the time nine other counties were formed,being Cherokee, Cobb, Forsyth, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Murray, Paulding, Walker and Floyd.There were many inhabitants as early as 1800= The whites living amongst the Indians. Many Wills were written in some of these counties and probated in Cass County. The Legislative Act of 1832 formed Cass County from parts of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Districts of the Second Section and Districts 4th, 5th, 6th, 15th, 16th, and 17th of the Third section. The gold lots had 40 acres each and the others consisted of 160 acres each. The Gold lots were much sough after, Log cabin homes were built (with some still standing today) Camp grounds and Log Churches, Log Schools were established and the pioneers came.

After the burning of Cassville and the lose of the Court House many of the residents moved south to Cartersville where the new Brick Court House at a cost of $20,000.00 was finished in 1873 and was located on the W. & A. R.R., due to the noise of the trains, action was taken to build a new Court House. The building began in October 1901, and completed and dedicated in January, 1903. The present Administration Building (Court House) was dedicated in January 1993, just west of the 1903 Court House. No records are kept at the 1903 court house.

By an act of legislature in 1861, the name of the county was changed to Bartow, to honor Francis S. Bartow, born in Savannah in 1816, and died at Manassas, commanding the brigade consisting of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Georgia, and the 1st Kentucky Regiments.
