 Marker text:
Originally Cass, Bartow County was created by Act of Dec. 3,
1832 from Cherokee County. The name was changed Dec. 6, 1881 to honor Gen.
Francis S. Bartow (1816-1861), Confederate political leader and soldier, who
fell mortally wounded at the First Battle of Manassas, while leading the 7th
and 8th Ga. Vols. of his brigade. His last words were said to be, "They have
killed me, boys, but never give up." First officers of this county,
commissioned March 8, 1833, were: Benjamin F. Adair, Sheriff; Chester Hawks,
Clerk Superior Court; Leathern Rankin, Clerk Inferior Court; Nealy Goodwin,
Surveyor; John Pack, Coroner.
