McIntosh Plaid Macintosh, John Mohr was born 1698, died in 1761 on his plantation Essick, on the Sapelo River. Macintosh was the chief of his clan, and its Members were especially selected by General Oglethorpe to migrate to Georgia from Inverness, Scotland, to fight the Spanish. Known for their prowness and skilled hand-to-hand combat, they Highlanders proved themselves more than once as protectors of the colony. Jon Mohr was christened 17 June 1680 in the Inverness Parish, Inverness, Scotland. He was of the Borlum branch of the McIntosh clan. John Mohr arrived in the colony in 1736, a venerable fifty five years of age. He received land grants along the Sapelo River and Black Island, known as the Borlum lands. He was made keeper of the store at Darien in 1739, however, joined his countrymen in fighting the Spanish, and was taken prisoner at Ft. Moosa in 1740, thence removed to Spain in November of 1741, leaving behind a wife and six children. The leader of those emigrants who came from the Highlands of Scotland (New Inverness) in the Prince of Wales, George Dunbar, Master, was Captain John Mackintosh, who helped settled the freeholders at Darien on the northside of the Altamaha River, which was on the southern frontier with the Spaniards. As many of the new emigrants settled together, many of them never learned the English language. They resided in the greatest simplicity and harmony, having neither lawyers nor courts, but their differences were amicably settled by the decisions of the good old Captain, until he died prematurely in the 63rd year of his age by the quackery and ignorance of the first October who ever tried to make his fortune among the honest patriots. During the War with Spain, John Mohr Macintosh was captured at Fort Moosa (1740) and suffered the indignities of imprisonment at Ft. Augustine by Spanish hands. In 1741, a wife and six children were reported in Darien. Children:
  1. William McIntosh, born 1726, died 1801, married Mary Jane Mackay. William was a cadet in the Regiment of General Oglethorpe and resided on his plantation located on the Sapelo River called Fair Hope. In 1775 he was made a delegate from St. Andrews Parish to the Provincial Congress in Savannah, 1775, and was later Colonel of the Light Horse during the American Revolution. His children were:
  2. John McIntosh born 1748, died 1826, lived on his father’s plantation Fair Hope on the Sapelo River. During the American Revolution he was a Colonel of the colonial forces, and was the commander at Fort Morris at Sunbury. His famous words "Come and take it!" are known throughout history. During a British attack in 1778, Colonel L. V. Fusher, the enemy commander, demanded that he surrender Fort Morris. The response obliged Fusher to attack the fort, and as a result sustained heavy losses. While in East Florida, he was imprisoned and taken to Cuba, accused of being an American spy. Finally, he was released.
  3. Margery McIntosh, born 1754, died 1818. In 1772, she married James Spalding, born in County Perth, Scotland, but from the Frederica family. They had a son, Thomas Spalding, born in 1774
  • Lachlan McIntosh, born 1727, died 1806, became very famous due to his politics during the American Revolution. “Died near Savannah, Major Lachlan McIntosh, age 49 years, a Revolutionary Soldier. One account gives his birth date as 17 March 1725 near Raits, in Badenoch, Scotland. Although a Brig.-General, many believed him to take sides with his brother, George, who was a Tory. Also, he fought a dual in the streets of Savannah with Button Gwinnett, who died from the wounds. After his father’s capture at Fort Moosa, Lachlan and his sister, Anne, lived at the Bethesda Orphanage near Savannah. In 1742, he left the orphanage to become a cadet in the Regiment of General Oglethorpe in Frederica, but in 1748 had removed to Charles Town to work in the counting-house of Henry Laurens. In January of 1756 he Married Sarah Threadcraft of Charles Town, and they returned to Georgia where Lachlan was employed as a land surveyor. He established his plantation on the Altamaha River. In September of 1776 he was made a Brigadier General in the Continental Army in command of the Georgia forces.

  • George McIntosh, born 1739 in Darien, died 1779, married Ann Priscilla Houstoun, the daughter of Sir Patrick Houstoun. He established a successful rice and indigo plantation on the Sapelo River, called Rice Hope, 1500 acres, which was located north of present-day Eulonia. During the war his plantation was destroyed by Loyalists and he was accused of supplying rice to the British in East Florida. When the charges were brought before Congress, there was not sufficient evidence to try him, however, his friends and neighbors disdained him, and his reputation was ruined. His son, John Houstoun McIntosh inherited the estate at the age of seven years. Son: (a)John Houstoun McIntosh was born at Rice Hope plantation on 1 May 1773. After the unpopular charges brought against his father, he removed to East Florida to reside, and area governed by Spanish authorities after the Revolution, and where Tories escaped to avoid hanging. Later he returned to Georgia to serve in the Seminole Indian War as a General of the militia forces. He established a plantation in Camden County upon the advice of his cousin, Thomas Spalding, where he raised sugar cane. Died 1836.

    4. George Macintosh, born in Darien 1738.
    The death of young Lewis Macintosh was described by William Stephens, Secretary of the colony, in a letter dated 1738: "And at Darien, a most unhappy Accident befell the Mr. McIntosh Family, whose two Sons (young lads) being swimming in the River, an Alligator snapped one, and carried him quite off." Apparently Phineas survived the alligator attack, because in 1741 he was reported alive.

In 1741 he was an overseer for James Oglethorpe.

He foresees from the harvest of this year that he cannot live off of it together with household. This is the reason that he prays your Highness to order that there be granted to his son, John, the lot which has gone back to the Trustees upon the death of Simon Boisnelle and of his wife. The said lot situated in the same village of Highgate, appears that it will produce for him better than the one that he now possesses; and the supplicant will never cease to make prayers for the preservation of your noble self, and to his end, for your health and prosperity, he prays that Heaven favors you with a happy voyage, and that you may land at the port which you desire....Peter Morel."
