   OLIN T. McINTOSH. One of the most prominent and popular of the younger
citizens of Savannah, Olin T. McIntosh, is a firm believer in the city and its
prospects, and is never so happy as when working for its betterment, or saying a
good word for it and its people. As president of the Southern States Naval
Stores Company, he is intimately associated with the advancement of one of the
important industries of this section of the state. A son of William Swinton and
Ida S. (Talley) McIntosh, he was born, in 1881, in McIntosh county, Georgia,
which was named in honor of one of his ancestors.

   He is a lineal descendant in the sixth generation of John Mohr McIntosh, the
immigrant ancestor, the line of descent being thus given: John Mohr,[1]
William,[2] John,[3] John Nash,[4] William Swinton,[5] and Olin T.[6]

   John Mohr [1] McIntosh, a native of Scotland, immigrated to this country in
colonial days, settling in what is now McIntosh county, Georgia. Two of his
sons, Gen. Lachlan McIntosh and Col. William McIntosh, served in the
Revolutionary war, being officers in the Continental army. Col. William [2]
McIntosh married Mary Mackay. Their son, John [3] McIntosh, who was a lieutenant
colonel in the War of 1812, married Sarah Swinton. John Nash [4] McIntosh, major
in United States army, who spent his entire life in McIntosh county, married
Sallie Rokenbaugh. William Swinton [5] McIntosh, was a life-long resident of
McIntosh county, his death occurring there in 1903.

   Brought up and educated in McIntosh county, Olin T.[6] McIntosh has been
connected with the naval stores industry since his early life, now being
president of the Southern States Naval Stores Company, one of the prominent
firms of naval stores factors in Savannah, the center of this immense industry.
He has here been located in this business since 1896, and in the promotion of
the business interests and prosperity of the city has been an active factor, in
a public-spirited way being associated with the younger element that is doing
great things for the growth and development of Savannah. For a number of years
Mr. McIntosh was an active member of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, serving as
lieutenant of Company A, of that famous organization. Fraternally, Mr. McIntosh
is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, Sons of the Revolution and St. Andrew's Society.

   Mr. McIntosh married Miss Janie Lawton, daughter of Asbury Lawton, of
Lawtonville, who was born in South Carolina. Unto Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh two
children have been born: Annie L., and Olin T., Jr.
