“John Houstoun McIntosh, son of George McIntosh, was born at Rice Hope, May 1, 1773. When a young man, he settled in East Florida and became a leader of the U. S. citizens living there. He was appointed “Governor or Director of the Republic of Florida” in 1812. After a stormy career in Florida, he returned to Georgia, and in 1818 served in the Seminole Was as General in the Militia.
In 1825, he began intensive cultivation of sugar cane on his plantation in Camden County, and there installed the first horizontal sugar mill ever worked by cattle power.
