Brown's assistant was William Manson, who negotiated the surrender of Colonel John Dooley and all of his men and arms. At this point, Georgia reverted back to colonial status under British rule. This parole paper was given to men who surendered and promised to remain loyal to the crown, and to not raise arms again. Twenty-six Americans who carried these papers were captured in Augusta. Thirteen were hung in Augusta, and the remaining thirteen were given to the Native Americans at Ninety-six, South Carolina, to be tortured and killed. The text reads: "William Dean of Saint Paul's Parish in Georgia being a prisoner of war on parole I do forewarn all persons whomsoever not to molest him in either person or property July 3, 1780." On the reverse the parole gives him permission to go 10 miles into Carolina on business. The papers are signed by William Manson. 3 images.application/pdfenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Parole--Georgia--Wilkes CountyIndians of North America--GeorgiaIndians of North America--Government relations--To 1789Hanging--Georgia--AugustaParole papers, Milton Dean, Georgia, 1780Text
