Telfair County Records
Pictured is Telfair County Court House and Alligator Creek.
Telfair County was created from Wilkinson County by an act of the
General Assembly approved Dec. 10, 1807 and was named for former
governor and congressman Edward Telfair (1735-1807). In 1812, the
legislature transferred the portion of Telfair County between the Oconee
and Little Ocmulgee rivers to Montgomery County. In 1819 and 1825, the
legislature transferred respectively land lots 1 and 6 in Appling County
to Telfair County. As a result, Telfair included land south of the
Ocmulgee River until 1854 when the legislature transferred this area to
Coffee County. The county seat is McRae, Georgia. Early Settlers:
George Browning, Barnabus Livingston, Mitchell Wilcox.
