A land platt found in the court records of Effingham County, dated April 30th, 1861, pertaining to a WILLIAM ROUNDTREE leads me to believe that this may have been the father of CORNELIUS GREEN ROUNTREE b. 1856. The plat representing 52 acres, 1 rod and 27 poles of land conveyed from a Mr. Nease to William Rountree being part of a tract of land conveyed from H. LOVE to F. BROGDON. This transaction was signed by J. E. WILSON, dept of E.C.and L.N. Zetrourer, as well as L.J. Nease. This land conveyed shows that Wm. Roundtree's land was very near to the Central Rail Road. A similiar transaction took place in May of 1862 pertaining to 28 acres and 14 poles of land, lying on the Central Rail Road, 18 miles above Savannah, belonging to Mr. Love. signed by J.E.
