I have read in a couple of different places where they were held in the square or plaza in Marietta without shelter for about a week before they were deported. Some did make it back, some may have assimilated but there are some reports that a few died on the way.

Also if you search Gerrard in the OR's and go to the correct date, you can find the records.
