FROM: "History of Lincoln County" by Clinton Perryman, pages 51-52, published in 1933, comes the following: "TANNERY. Sometimes in the early days of settlement, the exact date of which is unknown, a tannery was established in the southern part of the county and the place was called LEATHERSVILLE, a name which it still remains, and was the first one in Georgia, if not in the South. According to tradition, it was established by BALAAM BENTLEY, the progenitor of the BENTLEY FAMILY in the county, and was operated by him for a number of years. It was later owned and operated by his son, DR. JOHN BENTLEY. It was patronized not only by this county, but by all the surrounding counties, for in the early days , and for many years later, shoes and harness were made locally by hand. During the latter years of it's existence, most of the leather was shipped to northern markets."
