Miller, PhineasSeagrove, JamesUnited States, Georgia, Camden County, St. Marys, 30.73051, -81.54649King, Thomas1802-06-12This is a letter dated June 12, 1802 at St. Marys, Georgia from the Justices of the Inferior Court and Justices of the Peace for Camden County, Georgia to Josiah Tattnall, Governor of Georgia (1801-1802). These Justices, who include Thomas King, Phineas Miller, James Seagrove, George Fleming, Richard Carns, Harmon Courtez, and William Johnston, write on behalf of the inhabitants of the county regarding the recent removal of U.S. troops from stations in the area. They note that Camden County is a frontier county that is exposed not only to attacks from the sea, and from Spanish settlements to the south, but also to attacks by neighboring Indians, and they express concern that the area is no longer defended against the Indians. They therefore ask the governor to do all in his power to have troops returned to Camden County.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/jpegtcc913engMode 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 81, folder 19, document 01.United States.
