I love this in depth information you have! My great grandfather was Samuel couey brother of William who were the refugees... my 17th great uncle and gramps are on my mother's fathers maternal side.... were also involved in the long cane massacre. I believe William is a documented hero. The story is told that he managed to get women and children into a barn to hide safely. That part of my family is settled all throughout the south especially Georgia. Thank you for this!!!!
