Davis' Cross Roads was the site of the home of Rev. Gary Davis (1799-1875). In June 1864, it was an outpost of the right wing of Sherman's forces [US], moving from New Hope Church in Paulding Co. toward the State R.R. and the [CS] left flank. Hardee's Corps [CS], on the left, occupied a line at Gilgal Church 1.5 mi. S.E. On June 10, Strickland's 3d Brigade of Hascall's 2nd Div. 23d Corps [US] assaulted Cleburne's Sharpshooters [CS] posted here and on an adjacent hill. After a sharp conflict the [CS] withdrew to the lines near Gilgal Church.
