My family was from South Georgia (Waycross area) and also in the pine tree and turpentine operations. They went back and forth between FL and GA and finally settled in Clermont FL for the final time. They then worked in the citrus industry there. There used to be a small town north of Tallahassee named Hinson which is my family name. Interesting info you shared. Thank you!
