At or near this crossroads stood the J.P. office of Browning’s Militia District No. 572, cited in reports of Federal military operations in July 1864 as Browning’s Court House. On July 18, Logan’s 15th A.C., en route from Roswell to Decatur, detoured by way of Browning’s to support Garrard’s cavalry in its foray on the Georgia Railroad at Stone Mountain. Lightburn’s 2d brigade of Smith’s 2d division, together with Maj. Hotaling’s contingent of Logan’s escort, was sent from here to assist Garrard’s horsemen in destroying the railroad at and near Stone Mountain depot. Logan then withdrew to Henderson’s Mill to camp that night.
