Moses Harshaw, Meanest Man in Georgia

 

This was the home of Moses Harshaw. In about 2010 when we visited it, it was Stovall’s Bread and Breakfasr.

Moses Harshaw is sort of a relative, sort of. He was an in law to an aunt, whose niece married one of John Hunter’s daughter. So, he was an in-law to an in-law. The reason I am distanting us from him, because he was considered the meanest man in Georgia during his time. When slaves got too old or sickly to be productive into the grave they went. At the time he was considered the meanest man in Georgia.

Moses was a lawyer. I think his number one client was himself.

The house is located in the Sautee Valley, near Helen, Georgia
