Bleckley County
History
In the Upper
Coastal Plains Region of Georgia,
Bleckley County was formed in 1912 from Pulaski
County. Its county seat,
Cochran, is on
US-129A about 130 miles southeast of Atlanta and 35 miles southeast of Macon. Bleckley is bordered by the counties of
Twiggs, Laurens,
Dodge, Pulaski and
Houston.

Note by Warren Culpepper. The GA Death Index shows all of these
people as dying in Muscogee County but residing in Bleckley County.
However, there is no supporting evidence for this, and there is some
evidence to the contrary.
For example, the obituary for
Charles B. Culpepper (#36815) specifies a residence and business in
Columbus, GA (Muscogee Co.) and makes no mention of Bleckley Co.,
which is over 100 miles away. Since no other Culpepper records appear in
Bleckley County, I believe that there was probably a coding error and
these people should have been shown with a residence in Muscogee, not
Bleckley, County.
