The following is an account of the Maffett family of Macon County, Georgia, a community on the banks of the Flint River about 50 miles southwest of Macon. It was founded in 1854 and was named for the Aztec chief by returning verterans of the Mexican War. |

The historic Maffett Store stands on the main street of Montezuma, GA. This general merchandise store has served the citizens of middle Georgia for almost 110 years. In the great flood of 1994 the entire first floor was inundated by the water of the Flint River. Sadly, following the fate of many family-owned businesses in rural America today, the store recently announced it was closing (2004). |
