It was a cloudy day threatening to rain awhile back and before that rain dropped I wanted to drone out in Georgia country. Cows farms all around Indian Seat mountain. Sawnee Mountain is named for Chief Sawnee (also spelled Sauney), a Cherokee Indian who lived southwest of present-day Cumming. While tales abound of Sawnee being too old to be removed on the Trail of Tears, he received $618.50 in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1839 in payment for "removal damages", probably his property (Sawnee Mountain and a 16-acre parcel of land southwest of present-day Cumming, Georgia). A second man, Sawnee Vann from the Rome area is also on this list, but he is not related to Chief Sawnee.
