Georgia's roster of the Revolution

Preface

PREFACE.
After the lapse of more than a century, the difficulty of
compiling a Roster of Georgia troops in the Revolution can be
readily imagined. Much of the information which an earlier period
might have furnished is now unhappily beyond our reach. Many
important records have been lost. To compile an exhaustive roster,
therefore, is humanly impossible. The utmost at which we can aim is
an approximate degree of accuracy, within the limits of meager
details; and to place before the public all the data which, at this
late hour, can be obtained from official sources.
Georgia did not furnish a large body of troops to the
Revolutionary struggle. She was the youngest of the English
colonies, and, with only a scant population, was situated on the
remote southern frontier. Nevertheless, the Georgia contingent gave
a good account of itself, whether in the Continental Army or in the
Home Guard, whether in overthrowing Toryism or in expelling British
Regulars.
At the close of hostilities with England, she rewarded her brave
defenders with substantial grants of land. To encourage the rapid
settlement of her territory, by the best class of immigrants, she
offered handsome inducements to the veterans of independence; and
thousands, availing themselves of this offer, took the mountain
trails which led to Georgia. Two large counties--Franklin and
Washington--carved out of lands, then recently acquired from the
Indians, were subdivided among the new comers, a large percentage of
whom were soldiers from other States--compatriots and
comrades-in-arms of the great Washington. The grants made to these
soldiers were called bounties. Thus it came to pass that, while the
contributions of Georgia to the army of independence were
numerically small, she acquired a vast body of veterans who here
found permanent homes; and today there is hardly a State in the
Union whose soil is richer in Revolutionary dust.
The earlier land grants were in the nature of Head-Rights. These
in time were superceded by grants made under the old Lottery System.
Elsewhere, in an article written by the late Secretary of State,
Hon. Philip Cook, the differences between the two methods of
distributing land, are fully explained. Records still exist in the
Capitol showing, in many instances at least, to whom these lands
were deeded. Certificates from superior officers attesting the
fidelity of men under them are still preserved; and from sources of
information like these the roster has been obtained. Other helpful
sources have been the Pension Rolls of the United States Government,
the records of the Federal War Department, and the reports of the
Smithsonian Institution. It is the aim of this roster to include
within its survey not only all Georgians who enlisted in the
struggle for independence, during the seven years of its
continuance, but also all soldiers from other States who settled in
Georgia subsequent thereto.
Too much credit, in the preparation of this work, cannot be given
to help received from others. The Compiler, in this public way and
at the very forefront
------ page 6 ------of this volume,
wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Miss Helen M. Prescott, of
Atlanta, official genealogist for the Joseph Habersham chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution. The researches made by Miss
Prescott, in this particular field of investigation, have been of
priceless value, especially since the materials gathered by her, at
great personal labor and expense, have been placed freely at the
disposal of the State; and she is entitled, therefore, to the
gratitude of all Georgians. Scarcely less, either in value or
amount, has been the service to history rendered by Mr. Wm. L. Le
Conte, of Atlanta, in digesting for convenient reference the
voluminous records of the State Department. With this preliminary
statement, we present the Roster. Errors there must be; but many of
these, if not all, will be corrected in subsequent editions.

SECRETARY KNOX, OF THE UNITED STATES WAR DEPARTMENT, SHOWING THE
NUMBER OF GEORGIA TROOPS ENLISTED, STATE AND CONTINENTAL.
Extract from "American State Papers, Military Affairs, 1st
Congress, 2d Session" ; Vol. I, pp. 14 to 19 :"
War Office of the United States, May 10, 1790.
"In obedience to the order of the House of Representatives, the
Secretary of War submits the statement hereunto annexed, of the
troops and militia furnished, from time to time, by the several
States, toward the support of the late war. The numbers of the
Regular Troops having been stated from the official returns,
deposited in the War Office, may be depended on; and in all cases
where the numbers of militia are stated from the returns, the same
confidence may be observed.
"But, in some years of the greatest exertions of the Southern
States, there are no returns whatever of the militia employed. In
this case, recourse has been had to the letters of the commanding
officer, and to well-informed individuals, in order to form a proper
estimate of the numbers of the militia in service, and although the
accuracy of the estimate can not be relied on, yet it is the best
information which the Secretary of War can at present obtain.

*By the resolve of the 15th of July, 1776, Georgia was authorized
to raise in Virginia, North and South Carolina, two regiments of
infantry, and also two companies of artillery, of fifty men each.
These troops were chiefly enlisted for one year, and the time
expired in 1777.
The army in the Northern Department was discharged November 5,
1783, and in the Southern States on November 15, 1783.

Province of Georgia:
Whereas a battalion upon the Continental establishment is now
raising in this Province; and whereas doubts may arise how far the
same is subject to the control of the Provincial civil power: Now,
therefore, be it known, and we, the several subscribers, officers
bearing commissions in the same battalion, do hereby declare that we
hold ourselves and the non-commissioned officers and privates, also
others belonging to the said battalion, subject and subservient to
such supreme and civil power of this Province as are or shall be

And further, we bound ourselves upon the words of soldiers and
men of honour, at all times to obey and carry into effect, as far as
in us lies, the orders and commands of the present or any future
Congress or Council of Safety of this Province as the same shall,
from time to time, be issued by us.
Provided, nevertheless, That the same do not contradict or
interfere with the orders or directions of the General Congress, or
a committee thereof, or any General or other officer by them
appointed over us.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our names, together with
the rank and date of our commissions opposite thereto.

COLONEL LACHLAN McINTOSH TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.

----
Savannah, in Georgia, Feb. 16, 1776.
Sir,--My country having honoured me with the command of the
Continental Battalion ordered to be raised by the General Congress
for the protection and defence of this Colony (though I fear too
partial to my poor abilities,) it becomes my duty to inform your
Excellency of the state of our Province, as far as it concerns the
service, as well as of the troops to be immediately under my
command.
Our Province has a front along the sea-coast of above one hundred
miles, covered by a range of islands, divided from each other by
eight rivers from the mainland, which make as many good inlets and
harbours, most of them capable of receiving any frigate, and, as
some say, much larger ships. Our settlements extend back to the
northwest above two hundred miles, in other parts to the southward
not above ten, and very thinly inhabited; indeed, this large space
of land, altogether, has not more than three thousand men, chiefly
in the back country, and many disaffected and doubtful in our cause,
especially the men of the greatest property among us. Our slaves
will be above fifteen thousand souls, mostly within twenty miles of
the sea-coast, and make above thirty-five thousand tierces of rice
annually, besides many other articles of provision, which, with our
fine harbours, make the security of this colony, though weak itself,
of the utmost consequence to the whole continent of America; and we
have every reason to think our enemies intend to make it a place of
general rendezvous and supplies.
We are bounded south by the garrisoned Province of East Florida,
who have now, as I am well informed, five hundred regulars in St.
Augustine, and one thousand more expected there daily from Europe.
On the west of us is the Province of West Florida, the numerous
nations of the Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee Indians, besides lesser
tribes, supposed to have at least ten thousand gunmen, brave,
intrepid, and eager for war, whom we will have the utmost difficulty
to keep at peace with us, as we want every article of their usual
supply, and now furnish them in great plenty from the two Floridas.
Our metropolis is situated in the south corner of the Province, upon
a bluff, or sand-hill, thirty feet high or more above the water, and
fifteen miles up the river Savannah, from the inlet of Tybee, where
five ships of war, the Syren, the Scarborough, the Raven, the Tamar,
and Cherokee, besides tenders, are now lying, and two large
transports, having it is said, above three hundred men on board, and
expecting more in daily, with what design, whether for this Colony
or Carolina, or both together, we are not yet informed. Our Province
has declared itself in a state of alarm, and resolved not to supply
the men of war with provisions, and ordered a draft of half the
militia to the town of Savannah to oppose the landing of troops.
------ page 12 ------
Our Provincial Congress having accepted the battalion ordered for
their protection and defence, chose the officers the 29th and 30th
ultimo, (a return of whom shall accompany this,) and made them sign
the enclosed test before their commissions were delivered; and I
have this day issued general orders for recruiting, which has been
hitherto prevented by many obstacles in providing money for that and
other necessary service, and I fear will yet be attended with some
difficulty. We expect very few in our own Province; that of South
Carolina is said to be already drained of such people as will
enlist, by their Provincial regiments, besides their bounty,
subsistence, &c., are so much better than ours.
Therefore, I expect we must have recourse, distant as it is, to
North Carolina, with this additional disadvantage, that our currency
passes in no other colony than our own, and we have received very
little Continental money as yet.
I have received no kind of orders or instructions from the
General Congress or your Excellency; nor have I yet been able to
obtain even a copy of the American articles of war, which makes me
at a loss how to act in many cases; therefore I shall wish any
orders or directions your Excellency will please to send me, to be
as full and frequent as possible; also to be informed how far we are
under the control of the Provincial Congress, &c., of this or
any other Province where we are upon duty, and what rank we hold
when acting with militia or Provincial troops.
I shall take the liberty of appointing surgeons to the battalion,
which are so indispensably necessary, that I suppose the neglect of
not naming any must be owing to our delegates; and also to make
Capt. Colson's a rifle company, when raised, which I think will be
useful, and hope will meet with your Excellency's approbation; and I
doubt not but we will be obliged to arm more with such guns, for
want of others, which are very scarce.
I have the honour to be your Excellency's
Most obedient and most humble servant, LACHLAN
McINTOSH.
To his Excellency, George Washington, Esq.,
Commander-in-Chief of the American
Forces. |

----
Savannah, in Georgia, April 28, 1776.
Sir:--I wrote to your Excellency the 16th of February and 8th of
March, to which please to be referred; and now enclose you a report
of our battalion made to me this day; which I deferred sending to
you before, in expectation of our officers coming in with all their
recruits, but the distance they were obliged to go rendered it
impossible. I am informed that Captain Colson is on his way, with
his Company, nearly complete; and with the other recruiting
officers, may make above 70 or 80 men more than the report; and is
altogether above half the complement of the battalion, which is more
than the oldest battalion in South Carolina can boast of yet, though
near twelve months standing, and their encouragements so much
greater, their bounty being 25 pounds South Carolina currency, with
the like sum for clothes, besides their rations and pay, which are
also better than ours. And if the ease in which the poorest people
generally live in the Southern Colonies, and the prejudice they have
to any regular service on account of the restraint that any thing of
a strict discipline requires, are considered, I flatter myself your
Excellency will think we have not been idle. The chief of the men
are enlisted for 12 months; some for 18; and a few who would not
engage for more than 6 months, whom I have admitted, as I had not
directions about the time, and I could not tell how soon we might
have occasion for them. Our Province allows six dollars per man,
enlisting money; and upon application have raised it now to eight
dollars, which is still too little for the bounty of the men and
expense of the officers, whose pay is so small, that they can barely
afford to live in an extravagant country like this, where there are
no kinds of manufactures, and the small remains of goods advanced to
two or three hundred per cent. Indeed, I fear we shall be at the
greatest loss to make out clothing of any kind for them, or what is
far worse, proper arms. The officers who are not recruiting employ
all their time in training themselves and the battalion; on which
spectators are pleased to pay high compliments for the proficiency
they had already made, and the appearance of the men. The Raven and
the Cherokee are the only two ships of war which remains now
stationed at Tybee in the mouth of the Savannah River, with whom we
have no kind of communication.
Several armed vessels infest our other inlets to the southward,
and have made several captures, which we cannot prevent, as we have
not a single vessel of any force; but they have already been driven
off the shore when they attempted to get a supply of provisions. We
are informed there are 2,000 men now in St. Augustine lately
arrived, and that they expect more daily; but this wants
confirmation, as I think, in that poor starved colony, they must be
much pinched for provisions. This Province is now raising a
------ page 14 ------troop of sixty
horse to prevent their getting any cattle from our Southern
boundary, and another troop of a like number, to protect our Western
settlements from the insults of Indians, who are like to be
troublesome; all things considered, I certainly think this Colony
should have a considerable force to defend and secure it, as its
safety is of the utmost consequence to the great cause of the
Continent. The troops of our neighbouring Province are all upon
Provincial establishment, and at a distance; therefore their
assistance may depend upon many circumstances.
I have the honour to be
Your Excellency's most obedient and humble servant,
LACHLAN McINTOSH.
