I am from GA and am very close to many Yaughns. My mother is a Yaughn and most came from Crawford County, GA. They were widely known as moonshiners. I was told a few stories not only from family members but people who just knew of the "Yaughns from Crawford County". I have some relatives that are still alive that are very embarrassed by that. Folks had to do what they had to do I guess.
