Scottish Settlement of Darien, Georgia

[Nick the DSM]

I am definitely interested in this topic. There were several men named McElmurry in the Augusta area around that time period, likely involved in the deer hide trade.

Darien is an interesting name for a settlement given the history of Darien, Panama. The City of Darien website says the Scots picked the name themselves.

I think the naming came from remembrance and a second chance at settlements.
