Description
While on an outing to obtain a photograph of the boulder which marks the site of the lost town of Bullsboro for the "Coweta County Chronicles," this photograph was made of Mrs. Mary Gibson Jones. Founded in 1826, Bullsboro was Coweta County's first seat of government. The first Superior Court was organized by Judge Walter T. Colquitt and presided over Bullsboro in 1827. In 1828 the county seat was changed to Newnan. The boulder with plaque was placed by the Sarah Dickinson Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in 1925. The photograph of the boulder is included on page 53 of the "Chronicles," published 1928. The book was edited and compiled by Mary G. Jones and Lilly Reynolds.
