United States, Georgia, Ware County, Okefenokee Swamp, 30.6668928, -82.3331791Jernigan, Aaron1842-02-10Captain Aaron Jernigan, stationed in Camden County, Georgia, writes to Georgia Governor Charles J. McDonald (1839-1843) to request that the state reimburse him for military supplies that he purchased. He also informs the governor that a man reported seeing fresh signs of Indians (ostensibly Seminoles) leading into the Okefenokee Swamp. The same man reportedly saw a person going into the swamp who he believed to be an Indian, and a party of men was dispersed sometime afterward to search the area, but made no discovery of Indians. Jernigan further claims that he has heard report of Indian trails leading into the western border of the Okefenokee Swamp.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/jpegtcc638engMode 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, Telamon Cuyler, box 52, folder 07, document 02.Seminole Indians--Claims againstMilitary suppliesGeorgia.
