My dad says there was a Coats and Clark Thread Co. in Thomasville. Don't know when it first started. There would definitely be spools in a thread factory.

A possible source of information about factories in early Georgia is the Washington Memorial Library in Macon.

Currently, It may have a new(er) name, but I've always heard it referred to as "Old Salem Primitive" Church. The cemetery is very old but seems to have had some care along the way. Several old graves with markers....some very hard to read. The old wooden church and cemetery is definitely a setting that will place you back in time.
