- Description:
- Excerpts from the Proceedings of the President and Assistants Assembled for the Colony of Georgia related to the land claims of Mary Musgrove (Mrs. Thomas Bosomworth). Pagination is irregular.
Mary Musgrove was the daughter of an English trader father and Creek Indian mother who served as an interpreter for James Oglethorpe. In 1742 she married her third husband, the Rev. Thomas Bosomworth, who had been sent to the Colony of Georgia as a missionary. These excerpts from the "Proceedings of the President and Assistants Assembled for the Colony of Georgia" relate to Mrs. Bosomworth's attempts from July 1749 through April 1751 to establish her claims to land near Savannah and three of the Sea Islands granted to her by the Creek chiefs Tomochichi and Malatchi, which British officials refused to recognize. - Metadata URL:
