Belton/Bellton, Hall Co., Georgia
Can anyone explain the names of the two small communities named Belton and Bellton in Hall Co. GA near Lula? This area is near the Belton Bridge, which crosses the Chattahoochee River ner where it widens to become Lake Lanier.
I am interested because I am still trying to find a reason for the middle name of my GG GF, James Belton Loveless. His parents (Seaborn Loveless and Nancy Hail) were married in Hall County on 8 Aug 1833 and subsequently lived in Anderson Co. SC, where James Belton Loveless was born.
I wonder if their marriage occurred in or near one of these communities. If so, that may account for their son's name.
