This is the third in a series on turpentining in Georgia. During the last two decades of the 19th century, many naval stores (turpentining) producers moved their operations, including laborers and distilling equipment, from North Carolina to Georgia, sometimes Florida or points west. In fact, Georgia was not devoid of turpentining operations before that time, case in point being John Cobb's at a site near the present town of Cobbtown.
