United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.500181798-01-10This document is the petition of Patrick Carr, a former soldier in the service of the state of Georgia, dated January 10, 1798. Carr asserts that he is owed for services and expenses incurred as commandant of three independent militia companies from May 25, 1782 to June 25, 1784. Carr emphasizes his patriotic sacrifices for the state of Georgia, particularly noting his usefulness in suppressing Indian hostilities (possibly Creek Indians) by travelling into the Indian country. A note of the reverse of the petition indicates that Carr's request for payment was denied.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegkrc064engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Keith Read, box 04, folder 24, document 01.Creek Indians--WarsGeorgia--MilitiaMilitary service, VoluntaryPetition of Patrick Carr, 1798 Jan. 10, Louisville, GeorgiaText
