INTRODUCTION
Shole's Chronological History of Savannah is an in valuable source for those interested in Savannah history. It presents in capsule form the important events from 1584 to 1900. In some years entry is month by month and oc casionally day by day. If one needs further information one can turn to the contemporary accounts, such as newspapers and governmental proceedings for colony and state. Other in formation is often given such as population, and import and export statistics. It is illustrated with photographs of historic buildings and houses, many of which are no longer here. In the appendix there is a classified directory listing county and city officials, charitable and cultural organizations, clubs and societies, etc., and "Savannah's Roll of Honor," which is a list of those who served in the War with Mexico, the Civil War and the Spanish-American War.
The history first appeared in two formats as an ad dendum to the Directory of the City of Savannah for 1900 and as a separate pamphlet, such as this publication.
The Chronological History of Savannah has long been out of print and has been available only in a few libraries and private collections. The publishers of this reprint are ren dering a great service in again making it available. Those who work in history and those who read it for pleasure are in debted to them.

CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY
OF
SAVANNAH
1584. The first suggestion which history gives of the presence of a white man upon the site of Savannah, is found in the tradition that in this year, 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh landed here, and held conference with an Indian chief at a point near or upon what is now known as Gas Works Hill. This spot also marks the burial place of the chief, who chose it in memory of his compact with the "great white man with a red beard."
1670. American Treaty entered into between England and Spain, the latter power occupying St. Augustine, but no precise line being defined between Carolina and Florida. Hence a small military post was established at south end of Cumberland Island.
1717 Sir Eobert Mountgomery secured from the Palati nate and Lords Proprietor of the Province of Carolina, a grant and release of all lands between the Altamaha and Savannah rivers. This territory was to be named the "Margravate of Azilia," Sir Robert's attempt to colonize the lands failed, and in 1720, they reverted back to the Lords' Pro prietor of Carolina.
1720. King George I. ordered General Nicholson, then Governor of South Carolina, to erect a fort at some suitable point, to hold possession of the Altamaha from either Span ish or French invasion, and Fort King George was erected near the confluence of the Oconee and Ocnrulgee Rivers.
1732. Charter granted June 9th by King George II. to John, Lord Viscount Percival, James Oglethorpe, and their associates, to the lands lying between the Altamaha and Savannah Rivers, and they were incorporated as the "Trii*, tees for establishing the Colony of Georgia in America." with Lord Percival as president of the corporation.

"for the repeal of the late Act of the British Parliament, commonly called the American Stamp Act."
November 19th, Governor Wright, addressing- the Earl of Shelburne, tells a pleasing story of advancement and pros perity. He writes, "On Governor Ellis' departure from hence, November 2d, 17(50, from the returns of the militia officers, and the best information I could get, the whole number of white people throughout the Province amounted
only to 6,000, and I had afterward reason to think there were not so many; of which number there was about sixty men
belonging to His Majesty's Independent Companies, t\yo troops of rangers, consisting of five officers and seventy pri
vate men, and the foot militia amounted to 1,025; and now, by a very careful inquiry from every part of the Province, the white people amount to 9,900, or say 10,000, of which 1,800 are effective militia."
"When I came, the return made me of negroes amounted to 3,578, but which I soon found greatly exceeded the real number then in the Province, and now, My Lord, we have at least 7,800."
"In 1760, they reported as appears by the Custom House books, only 3,400 pounds of rice, and in 1765, though a. short crop, 10,235 pounds. In 1761, we loaded only forty-two sail of sea vessels, and the last year we loaded 153, and on an average of much greater burden."
1767. Although the Stamp Act had been repealed, the "Quartering Act" for quartering troops on the Americans, was still in force, and when on January 16th, Captain Phil
ips, commanding the Eoyal Americans, made requisition for barrack necessaries for his troops, the assembly promptly refused to comply. In punishment, General Gage withdrew all troops from the Province.
1768. Much discontent prevailed on account of "taxa
tion without representation," encouraged by letters receiv ed from Northern Colonies, notably Massachusetts and Vir ginia. Resolutions being passed by the General Assembly, in December, ordering that the "Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and the Speaker of the House of Burgesses in Virginia." be ad
vised "that this House approves of the measures by them pursued, to obtain redress for our common grievances, etc." Governor Wright, on December 24th, dissolved the Assem bly.
1769. September 16th, a meeting of the merchants and traders of Savannah, was held at the house of Alexander

52_________CHRONOLOGICAL HISTOBY ________
Creighton, at which it was resolved, "that any person or per sons whatsoever, importing any of the articles subject to parliamentary duties, after having it in, their power to pre vent it, ought not only to be treated with contempt, but also as enemies of their country."
September 19th, a larger meeting was held, with Hon. Jonathan Bryan, of the Governor's Council, in the chair, where resolutions of non-importation, were unanimously passed. For his participation in this meeting, Mr. Bryan was, by order of the King, removed from the Council.
1770. At the opening of the Assembly in 1770, Dr. Noble Wimberly Jones, one of the most pronounced advocates of liberty, was unanimously elected Speaker, but the Governor negatived his election, and sent the House back to make a new choice. This they refused, passing indignant resolu tions, and on February 22d, the Governor dissolved the As sembly .
During this year, Bethesda Orphan House was destroyed by lightning.
1771. July 10th, Governor Wright left Savannah on a visit to England, and James Habersham, President of Coun cil, on July 13th, took the oath of office, and assumed the Gubernatorial duties during Governor Wright's absence/.
1772. April 21st, the eighth General Assembly met, and at once elected Dr. Jones as Speaker. Pursuant to instruc tions from the King, Governor Habersham negatived the election. On a second ballot he was again elected, to be again rejected. A third ballot gave the same result, but upon his declining- to serve, Archibald Bulloch was chosen, and accepted by Mr. Habersham. It was only upon inspect ing the journal of the House the next day that the Governor learned that Dr. Jones had been the third time elected, and that the choice of Mr. Bulloch had only been in consequence of Jones declining to serve. He at once demanded the era sure of the record, and upon their resolute refusal, he or dered the Assembly dissolved.
December 8th, Governor Wright was made a baronet. Exports to Great Britain from port of Savannah for this year, 68,688, 10s. 2d. sterling. Imports from here, 76.322. One hundred and sixty-one vessels, of a tonnage of about 10,000 tons, were entered and cleared at the Custom House. 1773. Exports for year, $379,422. 1774. The passage by Parliament on March 31st, of the "Boston Port Bill," precluding all commerce with that city, aroused a spirit of indignation throughout all the Colonies, and on July 20th, a notice appeared in the "Georgia Ga zette," stating that "the critical situation to which the Brit-

ish Provinces in America are likely to be reduced from the alarming and arbitrary imposition of the late act of Parlia ment respecting the town of Boston, as well as the acts that at present exist, tending to the raising of a perpetual rev enue, without the consent of the people or their representa tives," was extremely important, and "calculated to deprive American subjects of their constitutional rights and liber ties." Hence, it was requested, "that all persons within the limits of this Province, do attend at the liberty pole at Tondee's Tavern (Broughton Street, northwest corner Whitaker) in Savannah, on Wednesday, the 27th inst., in order that the said matter may be taken under considera tion, and such other constitutional measures pursued as may then appear most eligible."
This was signed by Noble Wimberly Jones, Archibald Bulloch, John Houstoun and George Walton, and was promptly responded to by those within reach, but as many of the out parishes might not have had sufficient notice of the meeting, it was resolved, "that all further business be postponed un til August 10th."
The aspect of affairs was so threatening that the Govern or issued a proclamation, "notifying that all such summons and calls by private persons, and all assemblings and meet ings of the people, which may tend to raise fears and jeal ousies in the minds of His Majesty's subjects, under pre tence of consulting together for redress of public grievances, are unconstitutional, illegal, and punishable by law."
August 10th, the patriots, undaunted, met at the appoint ed time, and place, and passed unanimously a series of reso lutions, denouncing the offensive acts of Parliament, and claiming the same "rights, privileges and immunities as their fellow subjects in Great Britain."
Governor Wright's influence prevented Georgia from be ing represented in the First Continental Congress.
1775. January 18, upon invitation of Committee of Cit izens of Christ Church Parish, a Provincial Congress met in Savannah, its purpose being to elect delegates to the Conti nental Congress, meeting at Philadelphia, May 10th, follow ing. Through efforts of Governor Wright, but five of the twelve parishes sent deputies, and some of these under spe cial instructions, which embarrassed action. Under these circumstances, the expedient was adopted of laying papers, resolutions, etc., before the Lower Assembly, which had been convened simultaneously with the Congress, but action on their part was thwarted by the Governor's adjournment of the body. The Congress then formed articles of associa tion, differing in some important respects from the model

proposed by the Continental Congress, and elected Noble Wimberly Jones, Archibald Bulloch and John Houstoun, delegates. They, however, declined to attend, but wrote the President of the Continental Congress on April 8th, saying they "could not consider themselves as representing the Province, since but five of the twelve parishes were repre sented," and they added, "with what face could we have ap peared for a Province, whose inhabitants had refused to sac rifice the most trifling advantages to the public cause, and in whose behalf we did not think we co>uld safely pledge our selves for the execution of any one measure whatsoever."
May 9th, meeting of General Assembly fixed for this date, but members refused to respond, and the Governor pro rogued the Assembly untl November 7th.
May 10th, news of Battle of Lexington received. May llth, Noble Wimberly Jones, Joseph Habersham, Ed ward Telfair and a few others, took from the King's maga zine, about 600 pounds of powder. Governor Wright offer ed 150 reward for information as to the offenders, but, though well known, no one informed. Tradition asserts that part of this powder was sent to Boston, and used in the Bat tle of Bunker Hill. June 5. Various histories state that "on Monday, June 5th, 1775, the first liberty pole was erected in Georgia," yet the "Georgia Gazette" of July 20th, 1774, has a notice, "that all persons within the limits of this Province, do attend at the liberty pole in Savannah, on Wednesday, the 27th." A lib erty pole was however undoubtedly raised on this day, and ait the dinner immediately after, the first toast was -"the King," the second "American Liberty." June 22d, another meeting was held, and a Council of safety appointed, composed of William Ewen, President; Seth John Cuthbert, Secretary; Joseph Habersham, Edward Telfair, William LeConte, Basil Cowper, Joseph Clay, George Walton, John Glen, Samuel Elbert, William Young, Elisha Butler, George Houstouu, John Smith, Francis H.

Nine thousand pounds of this powder fell to Georgia, of which 5,000 pounds were
sent to Philadelphia, at the request of the Continental Con gress .
The Georgia schooner was under command of Captain Bowen and Joseph Habershain, was the first commissioned American vessel, and this was the first capture of the Bevo-
lution.
John Houstoun, Archibald Bulloch, Eev. Dr. J. J. Zub ly, Lyman Hall and Noble Wimberly Jones elected dele
gates to the Continental Congress. Three members of the Royal Council, Noble Jones, James
Habersham and Clement Martin, died during the Autumn of this year, and Governor Wright in a letter to the royal secretary, said: "There is hardly a shadow of Government remaining."

Major Joseph Habersham volunteered to secure the Gov ernor, and proceeding to his house, passing the sentinel, he entered the Council Chamber, and walking to the head of the
table, laid his hand upon his shoulder, and exclaimed: "Sir James, you are my prisoner!"
The Council fled precipitately, while the Governor gave his

parole not to leave the town, or communicate with the ships. February llth, Governor Wright broke his parole, fled to
Mullryne's residence at Bonaventure, and thence, in an open boat, was conveyed to the Scarborough.
February 13th, Governor Wright addressed a letter to his Council, to be laid before the Provincial Congress, offering as he wrote, "in the King's name to the people of Georgia, the olive branch," and requesting for the vessels a supply of fresh, provisions. The olive branch was declined, and provisions refused.
February 28th, with, a view to capturing the eleven rice laden ships at the Savannah wharves, the British vessels came up the river, and anchored at five fathoms. These ves sels were the Scarborough, 20 guns; Tamer, 16 guns; Cherokee, 10 guns; Hinchenbrooke, 8 guns, with two transports, one mounting 16 guns.
March 2d, two vessels went up Back River, and one, the Hinchenbrooke, grounded at west end of Hutchinson Island, while about 300 troops marched across the island during the night, and by collusion with captains, took possession of the rice ships.
March 3d revealed to the Americans the proximity of the naval force, and two companies of riflemen, under Major Habersham, opened fire upon the stranded vessel, clearing her decks, but for lack of boats, were unable to capture her. Information that the rice ships were in hands of enemy, and that Captain Rice and crew, detailed to dismantle the ves sels, were prisoners, was received later, when Colonel McIntosh, with 300 men, marched to Yamacraw Bluff, threw up hasty breastwork, probably on present site of Montgom ery and Williamson Streets, and mounted three four-pound ers thereon. Lieutenant Daniel Roberts and Mr. Raymond Demere were sent under flag of truce, to demand release of Rice, and were themselves arrested. Demand being then made from shore for the release of the prisoners, and insult ing replies returned, two shots from the four-pounders were fired at the vessels, when it was aonounced that if two other trustworthy men were sent, the British would treat with them. Captains James Screven and John Baker were then sent, who, upon arriving near the vessels, made their de mand, and upon receiving an insulting response, Baker fired at the man making it. This brought a fusilade in return, under which Screven and Baker hastily retired, fortunately with only one man slightly wounded. The battery now opened fire, continuing it for four hours. In meantine, it was decided to fire the shipping. Captain Bowen, John Morel, Lieutenant James Jackson, Thomas Hamilton and

James Bryan, volunteering for the work. The Inverness
was ignited, and cable cut, when she drifted upon the Nelly, firing her. Officers and men upon the other vessels fled across the island, several being killed by the grapeshot from the Jntrenchments. Three vessels were destroyed, six dis mantled, and two escaped to sea.
March 6th, Roberts, Demere and Bice being detained as prisoners, the Council of Safety arrested all members of the Eoyal Council, still remaining in Savannah.
March 27th, an exchange of prisoners was effected.
August 8th, the Declaration of Independence was received in Savannah, and was read at the Assembly House, a.gain in the public square, and still again at the liberty pole, before

Prevost, are en route for the Altamaha, with a view to the
conquest of Georgia. General Howe, in command of Continental forces in South
ern Department,, had already, on April 6th, dispatched Col onel Elbert with two battalions of infantry, to reinforce Fort Howe, on that river. General Howe joined these forces with others on May 20th, and aimed to press the British back into Florida, and bring them to battle. From various
causes the expedition resulted in total failure, and on July 14th, General Howe returned to Savannah, followed by the
regiments of Colonels Elbert and White, the remaining troops being sent to different localities.
November 19th, General Prevost again invades Georgia-
November 24th, General Screven killed in fight near Mid

wounded by Captain John C. Smith's Carolina company, who held this point. Overwhelming numbers soon com
pelled Smith's retreat to main line, which Howe had formed, running diagonally across Thunderbolt Road about where Dixon, Mitchell & Go's, lumber yard now is. Here 800 men,
forming two brigades, were posted, Colonel Huger command ing the right and Colonel Elbert the left. The bridge across Lamar Creek (now Bilbo Canal) had been destroyed, and three hundred feet west, a trench had been dug, which soon filled with water from the marshes. Through the aid of a negro named Quanimo or Quash Dolly, a portion of the Brit ish force, following a path through the densely wooded
swamp attained the American right rear, while the main body of their army manoeuvered in front. Sir James Baird, who commanded the flank movement, presently coming out
upon the White Bluff Road, advanced northward, over whelming Colonel Walton, who with 100 militia, was sta tioned at junction of White Bluff and Ogeechee Roads, about

where Jasper Monument now stands. Turning, lie fell upon the American right, while Colonel Campbell, with the main body, brought forward his artillery, which had been con cealed behind the hill, opened a rapid fire upon the Ameri cans, and advanced. Between two fires, the Americans could only retreat. Colonel Roberts, with the artillery, se cured the causeway across Musgrove Creek on the Augusta Road, and covered the retreat of the right, which escaped in comparative safety. Colonel Elbert's command, the left, continued the fight until this avenue was closed to them, and then rushed through the town and rice fields near the river.
Many were shot and bayonetted in the town. The tide was up, and the creek full, and thirty men were drowned in the attempt to swim across it. The American loss was 113 kill
ed and drowned, and many wounded; thirty-eight officers and 415 men taken prisoners. The English loss was two Captains and five privates killed, one officer and eight pri vates wounded.
The remnant of Howe's army retreated up the river, and crossed at Zubly's Ferry, into South Carolina, and Savan
nah, the Capital of Georgia, with all its stores and muni tions of war, was again under British control. General Prevost established the headquarters of the British army in the house still standing at 24 Broughton, East.
1779. March 4th, Civil Government, under British rule, re-established in Georgia, with Lieutenant Colonel Prevost as Lieutenant Governor.

September 24th, Major Graham, with, three companies, made a sortie upon this advanced post, but was driven back with loss of twenty-one killed and wounded. The French however, pressed too far in their pursuit, and lost over fifty men.
September 27th, Major McArthur, with a detachment, made a sortie upon the French works, and quickly retired, when the French upon his right and the Americans on his left, came together, in the darkness, and several lives were
lost. September 29th, General Lachlan Melntosh sent flag of
truce to General Prevost, with a request that Mrs. Mcln
tosh and family, and such other women and children as might choose, be permitted to leave the town, but the re
quest was denied. October 2d, the French frigate La. Truite, from the North
Channel bombarded the eastern end of the city, but with little damage.
October 3d, at midnight, a furious bombardment of the city begun, continuing until 2 A. M., but, a. French record says, with little damage, "many of the cannoneers being un
der the influence of rum." October 4th, bombardment renewed at 4 A. M., from fif
ty-three cannons, and a number of mortars, and maintained with little intermission through day and night. British / works were but little affected, and few soldiers hurt, but houses were destroyed, and several women and children, also a few negroes killed.
October 5th, bombardment continued. House of Mrs. Lloyd, near the church, destroyed by shell, and seven negroes killed.
Mr. Laurie's house, on Broughton Street, struck and two women and children killed.
October 6th, Prevost sent letter requesting permission to send women and children down the river, but in view of his
former action, Lincoln and D'Estaing united in declining to grant the request.
October 7th, "A very lively cannonade." Several houses burned and four men known to be killed.
October 8th, "Feeble cannonade." Both sides preparing
for the assault, which, it is now recognized, can alone win the town. Excellent plans of attack are arranged, but
unfortunately, they are overheard, or by some means obtain

diers, who deserts at night, and conveys them to the enemy. It is pleasant to read that this scoundrel was afterward cap tured, and hung for his treachery.

CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY

October 9th, the Battle of Savannah was opened by Col onel Huger, upon the left. The exposure of the plan of bat tle enabled the British to concentrate their principal force at the real point of attack, the Spring Hill redoubt, situated near the site'of the present Central Railroad Depot. D'Estaing advanced here, supported by Count Dillon and Colonel Laurens of South Carolina, and followed by Pulaski, with his cavalry. Grape, chain and canister, together with the

muskets of the British, mowed down the allies as grass. The colors of the Second South Carolina were planted on the top of the redoubt by Lieutenants Hume and Bush, but in an instant, both were killed. Lieutenant Grey, advancing to their support, was wounded, when Sergeant Jasper rushed forward, seized the colors, and though mortally wounded, bore them back to the Hue. D'Estaing, twice wounded, was borne from the field, and Pulaski, succeeding to the com mand, dashed forward to cheer the wavering troops.

Dr. James Lynah of the Charleston troops, removed the ball, and he was conveyed on board the United States Brig Wasp, where gangrene set in, and "a few days later, he died, just as the brig got out of the river," and his body was consigned to the ocean. Further effort meaning but useless sacrifice, a retreat was ordered, which General Lincoln, with the re serve, covered. So closed one of the most sanguinary contests of the Revolution.

(Erected in memory of General Alexander R. Lawton.)

SAVANNAH'S
ROLL OF HONOR.
Savannah has always been a military city, and it has seemed most appropriate to endeavor to perpetuate the memory of those who through the years have taken up arms at the call of their country The record which follows of those who took part in the civil war, is copied from Lee & Agnew's History of Savannah, published in 1869, and is confessedly incomplete and inaccurate, but no better data is obtainable. The returns of soldiers of the Spanish-Ameri can war are accurate, having been copied from the muster-outrolls.
