* The road from the east is a remnant of the Oakfuskee Path, main stem of the noted upper trading route from the Savannah River to the Creek Indians of Georgia and Alabama Beginning at present Augusta, it led this way via Warrenton, Eatonton, Griffin, and the Flat Shoals of Flint River to Greenville; thence to Oakfuskee Town, an early Upper Creek center on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama. White traders began using this way in the early 1700's. In time the route became an important pioneer trace and a leading stage road.

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