How Quickly the Past is Swept Away

Fitzgerald Plantation
Addendum--When Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone with the Wind, she included familiar family members. The father figure Fitzgerald was the epitome of a family whose plantation was located near Jonesboro, Georgia on. Pictured is the old plantation on Mundys Mill Road which continues to survive in its dilapidated state. As expected they were Irish. This genealogy is traced and is available to members of Georgia Pioneers.
