United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Wigginton, Henry B.1814-12-02This is a letter dated December 2, 1814 from Henry B. Wigginton at the Creek Agency to Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, agent to the Creek Indians. Wigginton reports that someone called young (Barnard?) arrived at the Agency to report that he had been stopped from pursuing runaway slaves by the Chehaws, who told him that a war party was on its way to the Creek Agency. Barnard sent George Lovitt to relay this news to Hawkins and to his father (Timothy Barnard?). Barnard says that the elder Chehaws then went down and managed to temporarily stop the war party, and he asks that Hawkins provide the Uchees under his command with provisions so that they can remain on guard should the war party resume its course. Wigginton refers to Barnard's letter (no longer attached), and includes a note about having run across some of their hogs. Also mentioned are (Thomas?) Perryman's connection with the British and the escape of (John?) Canard's (also Kennard) slaves to an unnamed location.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/jpegtcc868engMode 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 76, folder 24, document 01.Creek Indians--WarfareYuchi Indians--WarfareFugitive slavesCreek Indians--Government relations[Letter], 1814 Dec. 2, Creek Agency [to] Col[onel] Benjamin Hawkins, Fort Hawkins, [Georgia] / Henry B.
