Old Milton County Records (now Fulton County)
Old
Milton County no longer exists. It is located in North Fulton County
which was created in 1853. In 1857 Milton County (now now Fulton County)
included parts of Cherokee, Forsyth and Cobb Counties. Milton was named
for John Milton, Georgia's first Secretary of State and ws located
North of the Chattahochee River (now Fulton County). Fulton was named
for Robert Fulton, the famous inventor who experimented with a submarine
boat in 1801 in France and built the
Clermont, a steamboat
which sailed up the Hudson River in 1807. During the Revolutionary War,
Milton traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, and New Bern, North
Carolina before moving to Maryland with the official records of the
state while Georgia was occupied by the English. Campbell and Milton
County merged with Fulton on January 1, 1932. At this time Roswell was
ceded from Cobb County. Research in Fulton and Campbell Counties should
be done with Milton, as they were once altogether. Early Settlers:
Morgan Fields, Robert Martin, John Nix, Hiram Taylor and Dabner Yancey.
