This photo is on Ancestry.com from a news paper. This is the plantation home of
John Dortch Moss Sr. One of Oglethorpe County Georgia Plantation Owners.
At Cherokee Corners. In Oglethorpe County. This family had a large cotton 
Plantation here. Later the Sons of JD Moss moved to Athens Georgia. To end up 
owning the Princeton Cotton Mill, the white hall cotton mill. Athens 
Manufacturing Company and Moss Manufacturing Company. The pioneer Paper Company.
To name a few. These businesses were owned by Colonel Rufus Lafayette Moss Sr.
John Dortch Moss Jr. From the 1840,s thru the 1880,s

Additional Comments:
I'm former Mayor of Tallulah Falls Ga. I'm trying to document the movement and 
the successful families of the John Dortch Moss sr children. Men who built a 
empire in Athens Georgia that Stretched all the way to Habersham and Rabin 
Counties in Northeast Georgia. They built a Railroad from Athens to Tallulah 
Falls Georgia. they bought Tallulah Gorge. They incorporated the town of 
Tallulah Falls Georgia on October 7 1885. I'd say that's a family the State of 
Georgia should do a story on. I'm starting right here with this plantation 
house.
