Brig. Gen. Milo Hascall's (2d) div., 23rd A.C. having crossed the Chattahoochee River at Isom's Ferry (mouth of Soap Cr.), July 8, 1864, reached this point, evening July 17. This date marked the initial Federal moves upon Atlanta. Hascall's march was by routes now known as Mt. Vernon Rd. & Long Island Dr. ~ the Thomas Burdett farm being one of the landmarks cited in records as Hascall's camping place. Hascall's position here was by way of occupying the gap between the 4th A.C. at Crossroads Ch. and Cox's div. on Nancy's Cr. near Old Cross Keys. July 18, Hascall moved N.E. to join Cox: the 4th A.C., S.E. of Power's Fy. Rd. to Buckhead.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
