United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Barnard, Timothy, 1745-18201787-05-01This is a letter dated May 1, 1787 from Timothy Barnard at the Buzzard Roost on the Flint River, possibly written to Governor George Mathews (Governor of Georgia, 1787-1788) concerning boundary lines between Georgia settlers and the Creek Indians. Barnard complains that some of the Indians have not kept a promise made by Creek leader Alexander McGillivray that they would commit no insults against settlers for the next four months. Barnard promises the return of some horses that were allegedly stolen by the Cussetas, Cowetas, and Oakfuskees. He blames the Spaniards for trying to turn the Indians against them by promising to supply them if they will attack the Georgians. The letter mentions the involvement of James White and (John?) Galphin in these affairs.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/jpegtcc673engMode 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 01, folder 11, document 06.Creek Indians--Claims againstCreek Indians--Government relationsBoundaries[Letter] 1787 May 1, Buzzard Roost, [Flint River], [to Governor George Mathews?] / Tim[oth]y BarnardText
