I checked CITIES, TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES OF GEORGIA BETWEEN 1847-1962, 8500 PLACES AND THE COUNTY IN WHICH LOCATED, by Marion R. Hemperly, Deputy Surveyor General of Georgia, 1980, Southern Historical Press, Easley, SC. NO Georgia Factory "town" listed.

With my luck Georgia Factory was the family business. Like I would know that right off. Oh well, maybe if I chase down James in Athens it will lead me back to John. Thanks a million.

This might be far fetched, but you might want to try the Georgia Tech website. The school did various surveys of industrial sites and you might find what you want there. Here's an example: School of History, Technology, and Society Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0345 (404) 894-2182 State: Georgia County: Butts Name: Nutt & Bond, Inc. Location: Lyons Street Data Collected By: Carin Burford Industry Type: Fertilizer, Cotton Ginning, Selling Coal Ancillary Industry: Start Date: 1892 End Date: 1976 Alternate Names: Jackson Oil Mill Company, Southern Cotton Oil Company, Jackson Cotton Seed Oil Mill Data: The Jackson Oil Mill Company was founded in 1892. M.L. Hendrick and J.T. Goodman started the business. "The Oil Mil will pay $0.40 per hundred for Cotton Seed; if they are dry and good," reported Meade Hendrick in 1895. In a report concerning a cotton seed competition in 1895 the Jackson Argus reported that a Rome Oil Mill made the highest grade of cotton seed meal of all the mills in Georgia. The Jackson Oil Mill came in only four points below, beating every other mill in the state of Georgia. Meade Hendrick reported that "the Jackson Oil Mill Company consumed over $2000 worth of wood during the year...money remains at home, which is a great benefit both to the man who sells it and the oil mills." In a 1897 article entitled "Jackson at the Front," the Jackson Argus reported that, "The Jackson Cotton Seed Oil Mill has been worth thousands of dollars to our county. It has demonstrated the possibility of making a perfect fertilizer at home." At this time the cotton gin was running 240 saws at a time. In 1917 the name of the business changed to the Southern Cotton Oil Company. The firm of Nutt & Bond was established in 1924 as a partnership selling coal, mixing fertilizers, and ginning cotton. After leasing the business for two years it was bought by T.A. Nutt and W.M. Bond. In 1927 the firm was incorporated. By 1936, Bond bought Nutt's stock out. In 1941 V.H. Ham and J.B. White purchased Nutt & Bond, Inc. In 1947 White sold his interest in the firm to Ham. Ham sold the business to J. Dawson Bryant in 1959. After Hamþs death in 1966, the company was incorporated as an office for rental and operation of farms. This business venture was dissolved in 1976 and the remaining parts sold to Rufus Adams and Ben Garland. Notes: 1. "Local News," Jackson Argus, August 9, 1895. 2.

Winnette, Maybe they owned a couple of factories and one just happened to be located in Georgia.
