Talk:Josiah Tattnall (politician)

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Drwdjones in topic Incorrect picture of this Tattnall

Article name edit

Just to explain: This Josiah was actually Josiah, Jr. but generally didn't use the suffix. His father wasn't specially notable. To confuse things further, his son was also Josiah and was noteworthty (he has a good article). I placed this page here to disambiguate with the son's pre-existing article with a lot of navy links.

Cotton Introduced into Georgia edit

He is credited with having introduced cotton into Georgia, having brought seed from the Bahamas Islands and encouraged its cultivation "along the coast of that state". See Lamb's Textile Industry of the United States, Volume I. The book was published by James H. Lamb & Co, Boston Mass, 1911. The copy I am using is referred to as the Slater Edition and can be found online here: http://www.archive.org/stream/lambstextileindu01brow/lambstextileindu01brow_djvu.txt 87.112.22.80 (talk) 11:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect picture of this Tattnall edit

The picture with this Tattnall (Jr.) is the same as the one with Tattnall III and is clearly that of a naval person, which this Tattnall was not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drwdjones (talkcontribs) 13:40, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
