Yep, Heard County is right. Hope you'll understand why I won't say exactly where though. I've heard about Sheriff Lee too.

As deep as your roots are in Newnan and Coweta, we have either crossed paths or are possibly kin. There is five generations of better of us in Coweta. I too, grew up with the Lancaster stories and even have an autographed copy of the book. I will admit that I did not know Potts, but knew his replacement Sheriff Massey. There are few that remember when we had County Police, but there was a time when did. Massey took care of that when he was elected to the Sheriff's office.
My first wife grew up, just down from Lancaster's grave, she was from Ephesus.
Just brought back a lot of good memories from long ago.

Brandon moss who plays for the athletics is my cousin. He was drafted straight outta loganville high school by the Boston Red Sox. It's pretty cool I just see him as my cousin not as anybody famous. But indeed he is.
My great, great grandfather was Thomas Jefferson.
I totally understand why you don't.
Haha! Yep, that's the one I was trying to remember. And I remember Ms. Hazel, one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. She used to give me cookies and pie and all kinds of stuff when I was little. I even remember going to the old county prison on Sunday afternoons with my Dad and eat dinner with Sheriff Potts and the warden, and later on with Aaron Massey. I used to get to go on patrol with my Dad and "Uncle Aaron" on weekend nights, Aaron would sit in the backseat of those old Plymouth Furys and go to sleep while me and Dad did the patrols around the county. Aaron was so big in those days he could fill up nearly the whole back seat of that Fury! He was huge!
Supposedly, some of My great great uncles used to sell cokes to the folks going down there on the weekends.
One Said uncle, ^ (Cuz' grandad), and Cuz' mom and dad used to race with Big Daddy DG back when that was still doable.
Had lunch with Dennis Quaid in Griffin back in the late '70's. Met Gary Busey during a movie filming at Atlanta Stadium back before the brain injury. Tried to buy a used car from pre-famous Alan Jackson when he worked at the Ford place in Newnan. Great-grandfather was supposedly infamous in some way; as I understand it, he "emigrated" in a hurry from England back around 1850.
Earl Lee was a "one of a kind" knew and worked with him ..he was a fine man, a good friend with a great sense of humor and a tenacious man hunter...
If you messed up in Douglas County, it wasn't if but when you'd met Sheriff Earl.
