General’s Island Historical Marker - Georgia Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

“This island was the property of General Lachlan McIntosh by a grant of 1758, and was the principal home of his family up to and during the Revolution. The island was in rice cultivation for many years.

In 1808, a Canal, called General’s Cut, was dug through the Island to connect the Darien River with the middle branch of the Altamaha, “for the convenience of the adjoining planters.” This Cut, located a short distance east of here, was later used to ferry between Darien and the southern plantations of the Delta.
