McIntosh History and Relation to LaRoche Family
In the uneasy peace that followed the war with Spain, the Scottish immigrants to Georgia turned to building the thriving community of Darien (New Inverness). Lands were granted and cleared and prosperous plantations established. The territory of the colony was divided into parishes. The district around Darien was part of Saint Andrews Parish (Anglican Church).
The American Revolution called forth the fighting spirit of the Scots once more. The name of McIntosh was written into American history. Lachlan, William and John were all officers for the PatriotÃs cause. The legendary General Lachlan McIntosh commanded the first Georgia militia. It says something of the clan and times that he is probably best known for the duel he fought with Button Gwinnett, president of the Revolutionary Government of Georgia and one of three signors of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia. Gwinnett died of his wounds and McIntosh was sent north as a brigadier general to fight against the British.
The first Georgia settlers at Darien were over 50% interrelated MacKays, others included Clan Caithness (McIntosh, Sutherland, Spalding), MacCleod -- mostly farmers seeking better opportunities than existed in Scotland. It is often (wrongly) claimed that Donald MacKay's daughter married William McIntosh. Mary Catherine MacKay was his sister, about 7 years younger than he. This can be proved by the list of passengers that shows him being only about 8 when he arrived. Here is a typical example of the error, but it contains much that is true:
The settlement of Darien, or McIntosh County, as in future I shall call it, had been peculiar. "Stevens [Thomas Stephens]" says it consisted of 110 free men and servants, with whom 50 women and children were allowed. All were picked men, the largest number from the Glen of Strathl'dean, nine miles from Inverness, Scotland. They were commanded by their own officers or chiefs, most respectably connected, and, besides them, there came a number of MacKays, Baillies and Cuthberts. All settled either at Darien or Frederica, St. Simon. Mr. Thomas Spalding [b. circa 1774 - Sapelo Island Plantation owner] says, From 1735 to 1740, 300 came to Georgia and more after 1753. Mr. Spalding's grandfather was William McIntosh, eldest son of John Mohr McIntosh, the leader in the emigration of 1735, and William McIntosh was a lad of fourteen at the landing in Georgia, whilst his wife was Mary MacKay, a daughter [really the sister] of Donald MacKay, and born in Scotland before the year 1735. Thomas Spalding's father was James Spalding

More: -- In the seven years of the Revolutionary struggle (--- begin PAGE 38 ---) McIntosh County suffered, not from its occupation by the regular armies, but greatly from the predatory incursions of partisans of either side. McGirt plundered, burned, stole and murdered in the cause of the Crown. Paddy Carr and Nephew flogged, murdered and carried off in the name of the State or Committee of Safety. The people were much divided in sentiment. The McIntoshes were all ardent patriots. James Spalding and George McIntosh endeavored to remain neutral, or rather conservative,--which in such times is always the most dangerous course.
George McIntosh, direct ancestor of many noted families, such as the Clinches, Sadlers and others, resided at Rice-Hope, McIntosh County. His home was burned by Nephew, his negroes run off and sold, his barns and property destroyed. A letter from him written July 3, 1777, reads (like words from some old Scottish border story): They have taken possession of my estate, destroyed my crops on the ground by turning their horses on to them; killed and drove off my stock of every kind; broke open my house, barn and cellar; plundered and carried off everything of value they could find, wantonly committing every act of waste and destruction. Two days after he writes: I am just informed one of my most trusty servants, on my indigo place, has been cruelly whipped until he died in the rope, because he could not tell my hiding place, and (--- begin PAGE 39 ---) adds: Excuse this handwriting, for it is done on my knee, and under a tree in my own woods.
The storehouses of James Spalding at Sunbury were rifled, plundered and burned, his dwelling house likewise, and everything of value scattered to the winds; all the accumulations of industry and thrift were engulfed and destroyed by roving bands of tories or so-called loyalists.
By reference to pages 78 and 82 of Marbury's Digest of 1784, one may learn the number and names of the families whose persons were attainted and whose property was confiscated, and know how great was the division in political belief. It was Governor Gwinnett's approval of the treatment of George McIntosh that led to a correspondence with Colonel (later General) Lachlan McIntosh, brother of George, which terminated in a duel, in which Gwinnett lost his life. The meeting took place on Hutchinson's Island [across from Savannah]. The Governor lived but an hour. McIntosh was thought to be fatally wounded, but recovered; was transferred from Georgia to serve under General Washington at Valley Forge; was promoted to a brigadier generalship of the Continental Army; was given a separate command in western Virginia; conducted himself so as to win the personal esteem of his great chief, and lived to receive General Washington as his guest in the home to which he had retired, two doors from the corner of State and Bull streets, in Savannah.
(see http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaglynn/misc/theseed.htm )
James Spalding was Donald MacKay's partner on St. Simons Island -- Donald MacKay died relatively young. His wife remarried, and his daughter, Sarah lost her inheritance. Sarah married Capt. James Brush Oliver, a patriot, and their child Elizabeth S. Oliver married Isaac LaRoche (sometimes called Drummond after his mother's maiden name) the second of that name in the Georgia Colony (b. 1783).

Beth,
Your Laurel Grove Cemetery posting was most helpful.
I've put together a VERY tentative tree based on your information and census information.
I would be interested to know if the Isaac LaRoche who is buried in the Boneventure Cemetery in Savannah was born in 1792 and died about 1826.

Do you happen to know where Henry Skilton Atwood is buried? I am told it is somewhere in Greene County or near Eatonton, Georgia. I am descended from him through his daughter, Ruth Ann Atwood who married William Elliott Dunwody. I have also wanted to visit the Atwood Cemetery near the Georgia coast and my friend Connie Cox of the Marietta Museum of History is writing a book involving the Atwoods. I have given her a great deal of information and also saw to it that the records of another Atwood descendant (the late George Henry Keeler) went to the Marietta Museum. Perhaps you have talked with Connie, she has met many of my Atwood relatives that I never knew I had.

My notes for him:
He was educated at the University of Virginia and studied law at a private law firm. He was admitted to the bar in Savannah in 1887, and served two terms in the Georgia State Legislature. He moved to Portland, Oregon in 1905 to continue his practice of law and became an authority in rates and shipping.
He was city attorney for Portland, Oregon from 1913 to June, 1921, after which he was attorney for the Dock Commission, the terminal company, and many corporations and shipping companies involved in domestic and overseas shipping. He was particularly active in civic affairs as well as in the legal profession.
At the time of his death, he was in line to be nominated as an Oregon Federal District Judge.
He also was a charter member of the Portland Golf Club.
Died after a 6 week illness resulting from a brain tumor.
