This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

COMPILER'S PREFACE TO VOLUME IIL

Unlike the founders of most of the other British colonies in America,
the founders of Georgia were actuated by motives of pure, disinterested
philanthropy. The object of the founders of other colonies was pecu-
niary gain. The object of the founders of Georgia was to provide an
asylum to which the poor and unfortunate debtors of England, and the
oppressed Protestants in other parts of Europe, could come and live in
peace and earn a livelihood by industry and frugality.

Actuated by this motive Oglethorpe and Egmont, and their coadjutors,
founded Georgia. They had no interest in the soil of the province, and
no reward, nor hope of reward, out of its growth and prosperity.

Their work being one purely of philanthropy they appealed not in
vain to the charitably disposed for aid in their philanthropic work. Thb
the Trustees were authorized to do, by the charter, and by the same
instrument they were required ''every year to lay an account in writing
before the Chancellor or Speaker or Commissioners for the custody of
the Great Seal of Great Britain, the Chief Justice of the Court of
King's Bench, the Master of the Rolls, the Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, or any two
of them, of all monies and effects by them received or expended for
carrying on the good purposes aforesaid."

This volume contains the annual accounts of all contributions made
in money and effects for the benefit of the colonists. It will be seen
that while no inconsiderable amount came out of the royal treasury most
of the benefactions were from private individuals, and the accounts
show on their face the care and accuracy with which they were kept.

AMERICA

FROM ITS FIRST ESTABUSHMENT.

HIS Majesty Kiog Oeorge the Second, by his Letters Patent, bear-
ing Date the Ninth Day of June One thousand Seven hundred and
Thirty-two, reciting amongst other things. That many of his poor
Subjects were, through Misfortunes, and want of Employment, reduced
to great Necessities, and would be glad to be settled in any of his Maj-
esty's Provinces in America, where, by cultivating the Lands waste and
desolate, they might not only gain a comfortable Subsistence, but also
strengthen his Majesty's Colonies, and increase the Trade, Navigation
and Wealth of his Majesty's Realms ; and that the Provinces in North
America had been frequently ravaged by Indian Enemies, more espe-
cially that of South Carolina, whose Southern Frontier continued
unsettled, and lay open to the neighbouring Savages; and that to
relieve the Wants of the said poor People, and to protect his Majesty's
Subjects in South Carolina, a regular Colony of the said poor People
should be settled and established in the Southern Frontier of Carolina ;
did, for the Considerations aforesaid, constitute a Corporation by the
Name of, The Trustees for establbhing the Colony of Oeorgia in Amer-
ica, with Capacity to purchase and take Lands, to sue and to be sued, to
have a common Seal, and to chuse Members of the said Corporation on
the Third Thursday in March yearly, with restraining Clauses, that no
Member of the said Corporation should have any Salary, Fee, Per-
quisite, Benefit, or Profit whatsoever, for acting therein, or have any
0£Sce, Place or Employment of Profit under the said Corporation, with
a Direction for the said Corporation ev^ry Year to lay an Account in
Writing before the Lord Chancellor, Chief Justice of the King's-Bench,

Master of the Rolls, Chief Justice of the CommoQ-Pleas, and Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, or any Two of them, of all Moneys or Eflects
by them received or expended for carrying on the good Purposes
aforesaid, with a Power to make Bye-Laws, Constitutions, Orders and
Ordinances : And granted, amongst other Things, to the said Corpo-
ration, and their Successors, under the Reservations therein mentioned,
Seven undivided Parts (the Whole into Eight equal Parts to be
divided) of all those Lands, Countries and Territories, situate, lying
and being in that Part of South Carolina in America, wh'ch lies from
the most Northern Stream of a River there, commonly called the
Savannah, all along the Sea-coast to the Southward unto the most
Southern Stream of a certain other great Water or River, called the
Alatamaha, and Westward from the Heads of the said Rivers respec-
tively, in direct Lines to the South-Seas, To have and to hold the same,
to them the said Corporation, and their Successors for ever, for the
better Support of the said Colony, under the yearly Rent of Four
Shillings Proclamation Money of South Carolina for every Hundred
Acres of the said Lands for ever, which the said Corporation should
grant, demise, plant or settle, but not to commence until Ten Tears
after such Grant, Demise, Planting or Settling : And erected and cre-
ated the said Lands, Countries and Territories into one independent and
separate Province, by the Name of GEORGIA; and made the In-
habitants, who should reside therein, free, and not subject to any the
Lawp, Orders, Statutes or Constitutions of South Carolina, except the
Commander in Chief of the Militia ; and authorized the said Corpora-
tion for the Term of Twenty-one Years from the Date of the said Let-
ters Patent, to form and prepare Laws, Statutes and Ordinances for the
Government of the said Colony, not repugnant to the Laws and Stat-
utes of England, to be presented under their common Seal to his
Majesty in Council for his Approbation or Disallowance, and that the
said Laws, so approved of, should be in full Force and Virtue within
the said Province : And impowered the Common Council for the Time
being of the said Corporation, or the major Part of them, to dispose of,
expend and apply all the Moneys and Effects belonging to the said Cor-
poration, and to make Contracts fv r carrying on and effecting the good
Purposes therein intended; and that they should from time to time
appoint a Treasurer, Secretary, and such other Officers, Ministers and
Servants of the said Corporation, as they should see proper, for the good
Management of their Affairs, and at their Pleasure to remove them, and
appoint others in their stead ; and that they should appoint reasonable
."-.i'aries, Perquisites, or other Rewards, for their Labour or Services;

and that such Officers should be sworn, before they act, for the faithful
and due Execution of their respective Offices and Places; and declared,
that the Treasurer and Secretary for the Time being should be incapable
of being Members of the said Corporation ; and granted to the said
Corporation that it should be lawful for them, their Officers or Agents,
to transport and convey into the said Province, such of his Majesty's
Subjects and Foreigners, as were willing to go, and inhabit and reside
there ; and declared all Persons born within the said Province, and
their Children and Posterity, to be free Denizens, as if they had been
born within any of his Majesty's Dominions : And impowered the said
Common Council, in the Name of the Corporation, and under their
common Seal, to distribute, convey, assign and set over such particular
Portions of the said Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, unto such
of his Majesty's Subjects, and others willing to live in the said Colony,
upon such Terms, and for such Estates, and upon such Rents, Reserva-
tions and Conditions, as the same might lawfully be granted, and as to
the said Common Council, or the major Part ctf them, should seem fit
and proper ; provided that no Grant should be made of any Part of the
said Lands unto, or in Trust for, or for the Benefit of any Member of
the said Corporation, and that no greater Quantity of the said Land be
granted either entirely, or in Parcels, to, or to the Use of, or in Trust

that they should observe his Orders ; and granted that the said Cor-
poration should have Power to import and export their Goods, at and
from any Port or Ports, that should be appointed by his Majesty within.

COLONIAL RECORDS. 373

the said ProviDce for that Purpose, without being obliged to touch at
any other Port in Carolina ; and declared, That after the End of the
said Twenty-one Years, such Form of Government, and Method of
making Laws, Statutes and Ordinances, for the Oovernment of the
flaid Province, and its Inhabitants, should be established and observed
within the same, as his Majesty, his Heirs or Successors, should ordain
and appoint, and should be agreeable to Law ; and that after the End
of the said Twenty-one Years, the Governor, and all Officers Civil and
Military, within the said Province, should be appointed by his Majesty,
his Heirs and Successors.

In pursuance of his Majesty's Charter, and in order to fulfil the good
Intents and Purposes therein expressed, it was thought necessary for the
Trustees to send over such poor People, and foreign Protestants, as were
willing to live in Georgia, not only to cultivate the Lands, but at the same
time to strengthen his Majesty's Colonies. For which Purposes they con-
sidered each Inhabitant, both as a Planter and as a Soldier ; and they were
therefore to be provided with Arms for their Defence, as well as Tools
for their Cultivation, and to be taught the Exercise of both ; and Towns
were to be laid out for their Settlements, and Lands alloted to each of
them for their Maintainance, as near to those Towns as conveniently could
be, that they might never have Occasion to be too far distant from their
Towns, which were to be regarded as their Gtirisons.
*^( And as the Military Strengh of the Province was particularly to be
taken care of; it seemed necessary to establbh such Tenures of Lands, as
might most effectually preserve the Number of Lots of Land ; and there-
fore each Lot ot Land was to be considered as a military Fief, and to
contain so much in Quantity as would support such Planter, and his
Family ; and Fifty Acres were judged sufficient, and not too much, for
that Purpose : And Provision was made to prevent an Accumulation of
several Lots into one Hand, lest the Garison should be lessened ; and
likewise to prevent a Division of those Lots into smaller Parcels, lest
that, which was no more than sufficient for one Planter when intire,
should, if divided among several, be too scanty for their Subsistence.

And in the Infancy of the Colony, the Lands were granted in Tail
Male, preferable to any other Tenure, as the most likely to answer these
Purposes ; for if the Grants were to have been made in Tail General, it
was thought, that the Strength of each Township would soon be dimin-
ished, in as much as every Female Heir in Tail, who was unmarried,
would have been intitled to one Lot, ami consequently have taken from
the Gbrison the Portion of one Soldier yand by Intermarriages several
Lots might be united into one ; and if such Tenant in Tail General had

374 COLONIAL RECORDS.

had several Daughters, his Lot must have been divided equally amongst
them all as Co-parceners.

Nor were these the only Inconveniencies, which were thought likely to
arise from Estates in Tail Oeneral ; for Women being equally incapable
to serve on Juries as to act as Soldiers, these Duties, and many others,
such as Watching and Warding <&c. would return so much oftener to
each Man in Proportion as the Number of the Men in the Township was
lessened ; and by that means would become very burthensome to the re-
maining Male Lot- holders; and in case of any Attack from the Indians,
French or Spaniards the Township would be less able to make a Defence.

And as it was not thought proper to grant Estates in Tail General, it
appeared to be more inconvenient to grant them in Fee-simple; which
Estate would have been attended with all the Objections before-men-
tioned incident to Estates in Tail General, and to several others besides ;
for the Right of Alienation being inseparable from an Estate in Fee, the
Grantee might have sold, mortgaged or aliened his Lands, to whomever
he thought fit ; which was a Power not to be trusted with the People sent
over, for the following Reasons :

I. From considering their Condition.

II. From considering the Purposes they were sent for.

III. From considering the Persons, to whom Lands might be alien-
anted. And,

IV. From considering, that it might occasion a Monopoly of I^and,
contrary to the Intent of the Charter.

As to the First : The Persons sent over were poor indigent People,
who had for the most part so indiscreetly managed what they had been
Masters of here, that it did not seem safe to trust so absolute a Property
in their Hands, at least in the Infancy of the Colony, and before they
had, by a careful and industrious Behaviour, given some Reason to
believe, they would prove better Managers for the future.

As to the Second : They were sent over to inhabit, cultivate and secure,
by a personal Residence, the Lands granted to them within the Province ;
and they voluntarily engaged so to do ; and in Expectation that they
would perform those Engagements, they were maintained at the Expence
of the Publick, during their Voyage, and their Passage was paid for
them ; and they were provided with Tools, Arms, Seeds, and other Nec-
essaries, and supported from the public Store, many of them at least, for
Four Years together, from their first Landing ; in which respect, the
Publick may be said to have purchased of these People for a valuable
Consideration, their personal Residence, and all the Industry and Labour

COLONIAL RECORDS. 375

they could bestow in the Cultivation of this Province, and to have given
them even Pay for the Hazard thev might run in the Defence of it.

As to the Third : It was thought unsafe to grant them such an E-'tate,
as might be the very Means of introducing such Sorts of People, as
might defeat what the Trustees had always at Heart ; viz. the Preserva-
tion of the Protestant Religion in that Province ; which was necessary to
be taken care of, both on a Political and Religious Account ; the French
lying to the West, and the Spaniards to the South of the Province of
Georgia.

As to the Fourth : A Monopoly of many Lots into one Hand, would
necessarily have been the Consequence of a free Liberty of buying and
selling Lands within the Province; which would have been directly con-
trary to the Intent of the Charter, whereby the Grant of Lands to any
one Person is limited not to exceed Five hundred Acres.

A further Inconvenience seemed likely to arise in every Case where
the Tenant in Fee died without any Children, or without having disposed
of his Lot by Will; lor the Heir General, who might have the Right
to it, might not happen to be found out for many Years after, especially
if it was one of the Foreign Protestants ; and all that Time the House
would have run to Decay, and the Land remain uncultivated, and become
a Harbour for Vermin, to the great Annoyance and Damage of the
neighbouring Lots.

But tho' the before-mentioned Restraints were intended for the Good
of the Whole, yet, whenever particular Cases required it, they were
taken off, or dispensed with : And upon any Application for Leave to
alienate Lands, Licences were always granted for that Purpose ; and
when the Succession of Females became less dangerous to the Province,
by the growing Strength and Increase of the People, and by the Security
provided for it by his Majesty's Forces there, the Trustees resolved to
inlarge the Tenures of the Lands to Estates in Tail General.

The Tenures being thus settled, it was thought necessary to require the
Inhabitants to cultivate their Lands within a limited Time ; and in order
to raise raw Silk, which was intended to be one of the Produces there, a
certain Proportion of white Mulberry- trees were to be planted: And in
their respective Grants Ten Years were allowed for the Cultivation, and
One hundred white Mulberry-trees were to be planted on every Ten Acres
of Land, when cleared ; with a Power for the Trustees to reenter on the
Parts that should remain uncultivated.

But as the People were not able to cultivate their Lands within the
Time required by their Grants, by reason of the Alarms from the Span-
iards, the Droughts in that Part of America, and other unforeseen Acci-

376 COLONIAL RECORDS.

dents ; the Trustees resolved to release all Forfeitures on that Account,
and to require the Cultivation of no more than Five Acres of the said
Fifty Acres, within the Remainder of the said Term of Ten Tears.

And as other Persons applied to the Trustees for Orants of Land, in
order to go over, and settle there at their own Expence ; particular Orants
were made under the same Tenure, and on the following Conditions: Viz.
That they should within Twelve Months, from the Date of their Orants,
go to and arrive in Georgia, with one Man-servant for every Fifty Acres
granted them, and should with such Servants abide, settle, inhabit, and
continue there for Three Years: That they should within Ten Years
clear and cultivate one Fifth Part of the Lands granted them, and
within the next Ten Years clear and cultivate Three Fifth Parts more of
the said Lands, and plant One thousand white Mulberry-trees, upon every
One hundred Acres thereof, when cleared ; and that they should not at
any time hire, keep, lodge, board or employ, any Negroes within Georgia
on any Account whatsoever, without special Leave. Which Conditions
were readily approved of, and Counterparts executed by them all ; and
to tho8e, who desired to name their Successor, on Failure of Issue Male,
special Covenants were entered into by the Trustees for that Purpose,
agreeable to their own Propositions. And for an Encouragement to
their Men-servants to behave well, like Covenants were entered into, to
grant every such Man-servant, when requested thereunto, by any Writing,
under the Hand and Seal of the Master, Twenty Acres of Land under
the same Tenure.

The Trustees were induced to prohibit the Use of Negroes within Geor-
gia ; the Intention of his Majesty's Charter being to provide for poor
People incapable of subsisting themselves at home, and to settle a Fron-
tier for South Carolina, which was much exposed by the small Number of
its white Inhabitants. It was impossible that the Poor, who should be
sent from hence, and the Foreign persecuted Protestants, who must go
in a manner naked into the Colony, could be able to purchase or subsist
them, if they had them ; and it would be a Charge too great for the Trus-
tees to undertake ; and they would be thereby disabled from sending
white People. The first Cost of a Negro is about Thirty Pounds ; and
this Thirty Pounds would pay the Passage over, provide Tools and other
Necessaries, and defray the Charge of Subsistence of a white Man for a
Year ; in which Time it might be hoped that the Planter's own Labour
would gain him some Subsistence ; consequently the Purchase-money of
every Negro, (abstracting the Expence of subsisting him, as well as his
Master) by being applied that way, would prevent the sending over a

COLONIAL RECORDS. 377

-white Man, who would be of Security to the Province ; whereas the
Negro would render that Security precarious.

It was thought, that the white Man, by having a Negro Slave, would
lye less disposed to labour himself; and that his whole Time must be em-
ployed in keeping the Negro to Work, and in watching against any Dan-
ger he or his Family might apprehend from the Slave ; and that the
Planter's Wife and Children would by the Death, or even the Absence
of the Planter, be in a manner at the Mercy of the Negro.

It was also apprehended, that the Spaniards at St. Augustine, would be
•continualbjT inticing away the Negroes, or encouraging them to Insurrec-
tions; that the first might easily be accomplished, since a single Negro
could run away thither without Companions, and would only have a
Biver or two to swim over ; and this Opinion has been confirmed and
justified by the Practices of the Spaniards, even in Time of profound
Peace, amongst the Negroes in South Carolina ; where, tho' at a greater
Distance from Augustine, some have fled in Perriaguas and little Boats
to the Spaniards, and been protected, and others in large Bodies have
been incited to Insurrections, to the great Terror, and even endangering
the Loss of that Province ; which though it has been established above
Seventy Years, has scarce white People enough to secure her against her
own Slaves.

It was also considered, that the Produces designed to be raised in the
Colony would not require such Labour as to make Negroes necessary for
carrying them on ; for the Province of Carolina produces chiefiy Bice,
which is Work of Hardship proper ior Negroes ; whereas the Silk and
other Produces which the Trustees proposed to have the People employed
on in Georgia, were such as Women and Children might be of as much
Use in as Negroes.

It was likewise apprehended, that if the Persons who should go over
to Georgia at their own Ezpence, should be permitted the Use of Negroes,
it would dispirit and ruin the poor Planters who could not get them, and
who by their Numbers were designed to be the Strength of the Province ;
it would make them clamorous to have Negroes given them ; and on the
Befusal, would drive them from the Province, or at least make them
negligent of their Plantations ; where they would be unwilling, nay would
oertainly disdain to work like Negroes ; and would rather let themselves
out to the wealthy Planters as Overseers of their Negroes.

It was further thought. That upon the Admission of Negroes the
wealthy Planters would, as in all other Colonies, be more induced to
absent themselves, and live in other Places, leaving the care of their Plan-
tations and their Negroes to Overseers.

378 COLONIAL RECORDS.

It was likewise thought, that the poor Planter sent on Charity from
his Desire to have Negroes, as well as the Planter who should settle at
his own Expence, would (if he had Leave to alienate) mortgage his Land
to the Negro Merchant for them, or at least become a Debtor for the Pur-
chase of such Negroes ; and under these Weights and Discouragements
would be induced to sell his Slaves again upon any Necessity, and would
leave the Province and his Lot to the Negro Merchant ; in Consequence
of which, all the small Properties would be swallowed up, as they have
been in other Places, by the more wealthy Planters.

It was likewise considered, that the admitting of Negroes in Oeorgia
would naturally facilitate the Desertion of the Carolina Negroes, thro' the
Province of Georgia ; and consequently this Colony, instead of proving a
Frontier, and adding a Strength to the Province of South Carolina, would
be a Means of drawing off the Slaves of Carolina, and adding thereby a
Strength to Augustine.

From these several Considerations, as the Produces to be raised in the
Colony did not make Negro Slaves necessary, as the Introduction of them
so near to a Oarison of the Spaniards would weaken rather than strengthen
the Barrier, and as they would introduce with them a greater Propensity
to Idleness among the poor Planters, and too great an Inequality among
the People, it was thought proper to make the Prohibition of them a
JPundamental of the Constitution.

When the Trustees had made these Dispositions, and were enabled by
Benefactions from several private Persons, on the 3d of October, 1732. it
was resolved to send over One hundred and Fourteen Persons, Men,
Women and Children ; being such as were in decayed Circumstances, aud
thereby disabled from following any Business in England ; and who, if
in Debt, had Leave from their Creditors to go, and such as were recom-
mended by the Minister, Church- Wardens, and Overseers of their respec-
tive Parishes. And James Oglethorpe, Esq; one the Trustees, went with
them at his own Expence to settle them.

On the 24th of the same Month the People were all examined, whether
any of them had any Objections to the Terms and Conditions proposed
to them ; which they all declared they had not, but that they were fully
satisfied with them ; and executed Articles under their Hands and Seals,
testifying their Consents thereto ; which are now in the publick Office
belonging to the Trustees.

But Four of them desiring, that their Daughters might inherit as
well as Sons, and that the Widow *s Dower might be comiidered ; the
Trustees immediately resolved. That every Person who should desire
the same, should have the Privilege of naming a Successor to the Lands

COLONIAL RECORDS. 379

granted to them ; who, in case the Possessors should die without Issue
Male, should hold the same to them and their Heirs Male for ever ; and
that the Widows should have their Thirds as in England : With which
Resolutions the People being all acquainted, were very well satisfied.

The Trustees prepared Forms of Government, agreeable to the Pow-
ers given them by the Charter ; they established under their Seal a
Court of Judicature for trying Causes, as well Ciirainal as Civil, in the
Town of Savannah, (the Name which was given to the first Town to be
raised) by the Name and Style of The Town Court ; they also appointed
Magistrates there, viz. three Bailiffs and a Recorder, and inferior Offi-
cers, viz. Two Constables, and Two Tything-men: They chose ior
Magistrates such as appeared to them the most prudent and discreet ;
but amongst a Number of People, who were all upon a Level at their
first setting out, it was impossible to make any Choice or Distinction,
which would not create some future Uneasiness among them.

On the 16th of November 1732. when the One hundred and Four-
teen Persons, and with them the Reverend Mr. Herbert, a Clergyman
of the Church of Euglund, and a Man from Piedmont, (engaged by the
Trustees to instruct the People in the Art of winding Silk) embarked
on board the Ship Ann, Captain Thomas, several of the Trustees went
to Gravesend, called over the People, and made a strict Inquiry into
their Accommodations and Provisions, and left the People very well
satisfied. Soon after Fifteen more Persons were sent, Eleven of whom
were Sawyers, in order to assist the People in building their Houses.

At the Time of the Embarkation Five thousand Acres of Land were
granted to Three of the Colonists, in Trust for them, or the Survivors
or Survivor of them, to make Grants, from time to time to every Man
of Twenty-one Years of Age, or upwards, (who should arrive in
Georgia, aud desire the eame) Fifty Acres of Land, to hold to him and
his Heirs Male.

The Common Council of the Trustees (in whom by the Charter the
Disposal of the Money was lodged) did resolve at their first Meeting,
that the Bank of England should be desired to keep all the Money
belonging to the Trust ; which the Bank accepted, and have continued
so to do, paying no Sums but by Draughts signed by Five of the Com-
mon Council.

The Trustees desired, by a Letter, Sir Thomas Lombe's Sentiments
of the Goodness of the Raw Silk produced in Carolina, and the proper
Methods of carrying on that Undertaking with Success ; on which they
received* from Sir Thomas Lombe great Encouragement to proceed in

it, bj his Approbation of the Silk produced in that Climate, of which he
had made Experiments.

On the 28th of February 1732. the Trustees received a Letter from
Mr. Oglethorpe, dated the 13th of January 1732. on board the Ship
Ann, off Charles-Town in South Carolina, giviog an Account of his
safe Arrival there with the People, with the Loss only of Two Chil-
<lren.

On the 18ih of April 1733. they received another Letter from him,
which is here inserted at Length, as it gives an Account of the Situation
where he planted the People.

From the Camp near Savannah, the 10th of February 173§.
Gentlemen,
I Gave you an Account, in my last, of our Arrival at Charles-Town ;
the Governor and Assembly have given us all possible Encouragement.
Our People arrived at Beaufort on the 20th of January, where I lodged
them in some new Barracks built for the Soldiers, whilst I went myself
to view the Savannah River. I fixed upon a healthy Situation, about
Ten Miles from the Sea. The River here forms an Halfrmoon, along
the South side of which the Banks are about Forty Feet high, and on
the Top a Fiat, which they call a Bluff. The plain High ground ex-
tends into the Country Five or Six Miles, and along the River-side
about a Mile. Ships that draw Twelve Feet Water can ride within Ten
Yards of the Bank. Upon the River-side, in the Centre of this Plain,
I have laid out the Town, opposite to which is an Island of very rich
Pasturage, which I think should be kept for the Trustees Cattle. The
River is pretty wide, the Water fresh, and from the Key of the Town
you see its whole Course to the Sea, with the Island of Tybee, which
forms the Mouth of the River, for about Six Miles up into the Country.
The Landskip is very agreeable, the Stream being wide, and bordered
with high Woods on both Sides. The whole People arrived here on the
First of February ; at Night their Tents were got up. Till the 7th we
were taken up in unloading and making a Crane, which I then could
not get finished, so took off the Hands, and set some to the Fortifica-
tion, and began to fell the Woods. I have marked out the Town and
Common ; half of the former is already cleared, and the first House
was begun Yesterday in the Afternoon. A little Indian Nation, the
only one within Fifty Miles, is not only at Amity, but desirous to be
Subjects to his Majesty King George, to have Lands given them among
us, and to breed their Children at our Schools. Their Chief and his

Gentlemen, &c,

Li this Month of April the Trustees, in another Embarkation of Sev-
enteen Persons, sent some Italians, whom they had procured from Pied-
mont, in order to promote the Silk Business.

They received another Letter from Mr. Oglethorpe, dated the 20th of
February 1732. of which the following Extract gives a further Account
of the People and their Situation :

<* Our People are all in perfect Health. I chose the Situation for the^
'' Town upon an high Ground. Forty Feet perpendicular above High-
'' water Mark ; the Soil dry and sandy, the Water of the River fresh,
'' Springs coming out from the Side^ of the Hills. I pitched upon this-
'* Place, not only for the Pleasantness of the Situation, but because from
*' the above mentioned and other Signs, I thought it healthy ; for it is
*' sheltered from the Western and Southern Winds (the worst in this
** Country) by vast Woods of Pine-treea, many of which are an Hun-
*' dred, and few under Seventy Feet high. There is no Morse on the
** Trees, tho' in most Parts of Carolina they are covered with it, and it
'' hangs down Two or I'hree Feet from them. The last and fullest Con-
'* viction of the Healthfulness of the Place was, that an Indian Nation,
" who knew the Nature of this Country, chose it for their Situation."

The Trustees endeavored very early to secure the Friendship of the-
Indians, who, by ranging thro' the Woods, would be capable of giv-
ing constant Intelligence, to prevent any Surprise upon the People^
and would be a good Out-guard for the Inland Parts of the Province.
For this Purpose they were treated with all possible Candor and Gentle-*
ness: They were acquainted, that the English had no Intention to hurt
or distress them, but would be ready to assist and protect them on all
Occasions. They received several Presents from the Trustees, and were
promised, that if any of the People in Georgia injured them, they
should, upon their Complaints, and Proofs of it, find a ready Redress;,
for which in Return the Indians engaged never to take any Revenge
themselves, as it might breed 111 Blood between the English and them.
And as they since found, that Justice has always been done to them
upon proper Complaints, they have been true to their Engagements.

The Indians made a formal and voluntary Cession of that Part of the
Country to Mr. Oglethorpe for the King of Great-Britain: by which a.
further Right and Title to it was acquired, and added to that of the first
Discovery and Cultivation; and a Treaty of Friendship and Commerce*

with them was settled, which was soon after sent over to the Trustees
for their Ratification.

In the Month of May 1733. the Trustees sent over Six Persons more.

The Number of People sent on the Charity from the Beginning to the
dth of June 1733. (on which Day of the Month the Trustees Accompt is
yearly made up, which is directed to be delivered to the Lord Chancel-
lor, and the other Persons named in the Charter) amounted to One hun-
dred and Fifty-two, of whom One hundred and Forty-one were Britons,
and eleven were Foreign Protestants, and Sixty-one were Men.

The Lands granted in Trust this Year, in order to be granted out in
smaller Portions in Georgia, were the aforesaid Five thousand Acres.

The Lands granted within this Year to Persons going at their own
Expence, were Four thousand Four hundred and Sixty Acres.

The Money received from private Persons this Year amounted to
3,7231. 13 8. 7d. whereof the Trustees applied 2,2541. 17 s. 9d. of
which they exhibited an Accompt to the Lord Chancellor, and the Lord
Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas, pursuant to their Charter ; and car-
ried the Remainder into their succeeding Accompt.

From the 9Th of June 1733. to the 9TH of June 1734.

Besides the several Works on which the People were employed at
Savannah, as palisading the Town, clearing the Place from Pine-trees,
<fec. and building of Houses, some other Works were carried on ; viz. a
j>iiblick Garden was laid out, which was designed as a Nursery, in order
to supply the People for their several Plantations with White Mulberry-
trees, Vines, Oranges, Olives, and other necessary Plants ; a Gardener
was appointed for the Care of it, and to be paid by the Trustees. A
Crane was made for landing of Goods on the Bluff; a Battery raised, which
commands the River, some Distance below the Town ; and on the Island
of Tybee, at the Entrance of the River, a Beacon was erected iSinety Feet
high, which has been of great Service, not only to the Ships entering
the River Savannah, but to those likewise which sail by the Coast, there
being none like it all along the Coast of America.

A Fort was likewise built at the narrow Passages of an inland River
(culled Ogecchee) in order to protect the Settlement from any inland
Invasion from Augustine. Two little Villages were laid out and settled
at about Four Miles distant from Savannah, inland from the River, and
a Mile from each other, which were called Ilampstead and Higligate.

Account was given of the Settlement at Savannah, which waa written
by a Gentleman of Charles-Town, who with some others went thither
out of Curiosity.

The Parliament having granted out of the Money arisen from the Sale
of the Lands at St. Christopher, Ten thousand Pounds for the further
settling and securing the Colony ; the Trustees resolved to lose no Time
in strengthening it with People; and accordingly in the Months of Sep-
tember and October 1733. they sent over two Embarkations of Persons,
whose Numbers are entered at the End of this Year's Proceedings, and
of whom many were persecuted Protestants from Saltzburg.

As very pleasing Accounts of the Country, and the Settlement, were
sent from several of the People there to their Friends, the Trustees were
informed, that some Persons had gone about in several Parts of England,
ofTering Money and Land in their Names, (but without their Knowledge
or Authority) to any who should be desirous of going to Georgia ; There-
fore they published an Advertisement in some of the News-papers, in
order to prevent the ill Consequences of drawing laborious People out of
the Country with such Expectations ; and they declared, that they had
never given such Power to any Persons whatsoever ; and that they never
used any Solicitations to induce People to go over.

From the qth of June 1734. to the qth of June 1735.

In the Month of June 1734. Mr. Oglethorpe arrived from the Colony^
and with him came some of the principal Indians of the Lower Creek
Nation, who live nearest to Savannah.

When these Indians were in England, they desired of the Trustees,
that the Measures, Prices and Qualities of all Goods to be purchased by
them with their Deer-skins, might be settled ; as likewise the Weights,
that no body might be allowed to trade with the Indians in Oeorgia with-
out a Licence from the Trustees ; in order that if they were in any re-
spect injured or defrauded by the Traders, they might know where ta
complain. And they further desired, that there might be but one Store-
house in each Indian Town for supplying them with the Goods they
might want to purchase, from whence the Trader should be obliged to
supply them at the fixed Prices.

The reason which the Indians gave for this Application was, because
the Traders with them had often, in an arbitrary Manner, raised the
Prices of Goods, and defrauded them in the Weights and Measures ; and,
by their Impositions, had often created Animosities between the English
and Indians, which had frequently ended in Wars between them preju-
dicial to both.

The Trustees, having considered of their Request, and being informed,
that the Council and Assembly of South Carolina had passed an Act the
20th of August 1731. intituled, An Act for the better Regulation of the
Indian Trade, and for appointing a Commissioner for that Purpose with
Regulations, which the Trustees hoped might be effectual in Georgia,
prepared an Act, intituled. An Act for maintaining the Peace with the
Indians in the Province of Georgia, with the same Regulations and Pro-
visions as were in the Carolina Act : which Act ceased to be force in
Georgia, since it was erected into a distinct independent Province, not
subject to the Laws of Carolina.

The Trustees, receiving frequent Information from the Colony, of the
pernicious Effects of drinking Rum, and other spirituous Liquors, by not
only creating Disorders among the Indians, (who had been plentifuU7
supplied with it by the Traders) but also destroying many of the English,
and throwing the People into various Distempers, prepared an Act, in-
tituled, An Act to prevent the Importation and Use of Rum and Bran-
dies in the Province of Georgia, or any kind of Spirits or Strong-waters
whatsoever. At the same time they endeavoured to supply the Stores
with Strong-beer from England, Melasses for brewing Beer, and with
Madeira Wines, which the People might purchase at reasonable Bates,.

and which would be more refreshing and wholesome for them. The
Magistrates of the Town of Savannah were likewise impowered to grant
Licences to private Persons for retailing Beer, Ale, &o, and the Trustees
have great Reason to believe, that the remarkable Healthiness of Eben-
ezer in the Northern Part, and Frederica in the Southern Part of Georgia,
is very much owing to the Prohibition of the Use of Ram ; for in those
Parts where Rum, in Defiance of the Act, has been introduced, the
People have not in general been so health j and vigorous.

At the same time the Trustees, taking into Consideration the many
Inconveniences which would attend the Introduction of Negroes in a
Frontier, for the several Reasons before specified, prepared an Act for
rendering the Colony of Georgia more defensible, by prohibiting the
Importation and Use of Black Slaves or Negroes into the same.

These Three Acts were laid before the King in Council, in the Month
of January 1734. and after a Report from the Lords Commissioners for
Trade and Plantations to the Committee of Council, that they were
proper to receive his Majesty's R )yal Approbation, they were ratified
by his Majesty in Council.

Tho' the Lands granted by the Trustees were to revert to them on the
Failure of Issue Male, in order to be regranted for keeping up a Num-
ber of Men ; yet the Trustees, as Guardians of the People, when any such
Failure happened, resolved, that the Value of the Improvements upon
the Lands of the late Occupiers, should be settled and paid to or for the
Benefit of the Female Issue, or next Relation : And the First Instance of
such a Failure being on the Death of one Mr. De Ferron, the Value of
the Improvements he had made on his Estate, was, on the 5th of February
1734. ordered and paid for the Use of his Daughter in England, who,
being destitute, would have been absolutely unable to proceed in the
Cultivation of her Father's Lot.

Two Embarkations were made this Year, whose Numbers are hereafter-
mentioned, which consisted chiefly of Saltzburghers, who, with the
Baltzburghers that went before, were settled in a Town called by them
Ebenezer, upon the River Savannah, at some Distance above the Town,
and by the Sobriety and Industry of the People, they prove a very
thriving Settlement.

From the 9Th of June 1735. to the 9TH of June 1736.

That all Persons who should be desirous of going to Georgia, might
be apprised in Time of the several Conditions they were to perform,
*Rule8 were drawn up and printed for those who should be sent on the
Charity, as well as those who should go at their own Expence ; in which
the Conditions were specified, as well as the Necessaries for their Sub-
sistence, and theirTliabour.

The Parliament having in the Year 1735. granted Twenty-six thou-
sand Pounds for the further settling and securing the Colony of Georgia,
the Trustees thought it prudent to strengthen the Southern Pare of the
Province, by making a Settlement on the Alatamaha River, to which
they were strongly induced, by a fMemorial sent to his Majesty from the
Governor and Assembly of South Carolina, dated the 9th of April 1734.
wherein, after thanking his Majesty for his peculiar Favour and Protec-
tion, and especially for his most benign Care, so wisely calculated for
the Preservation of South Carolina, by his Royal Charter to the Trustees
for establishing the Colony of Georgia, and after representing the
Practices of the French to seduce the Indians in Amity with South
Carolina, the Attention of the French to the Improvement of their
.Settlements, and their late Inlargement of them nearer to Carolina ; the
defenceless Condition of their Province, and the Danger of the Inhabi-
tants from their own Negroes, and the ruinous Situation of the West-
India Trade in case the French should possess themselves of Carolina ;

enable his Majesty to be absolute Master of the Passage through the
Gulph of Florida, and to impede, at his Pleasure, the l^ransportation
home of the Spanish Treasure, which, should his Majesty's Enemies
possess, would then prove so many convenient Harbours for them to
annoy a great Part of the British Trade to America, as well as that which
is carried on through the Gulph from Jamaica.

Upon which Inducements the Trustees resolved to make Embarka-
tions for strengthening the Southern Part of Georgia ; and to obviate
any Objections which might be made by sending over any of our useful
Poor from England ; and as the Trustees found, that many of the Poor
who had been useless in Englaad, were inclined to be useless likewise in
Georgia, they determined that these Embarkations should consist chiefly
of Persons from the Higlilands of Scotland, and persecuted German
Protestants.

Whilst these Embarkations were preparing, the Trustees made Prepa-
rations for the new Settlement : They established the civil Government
for the new Town (which was called Frederica) in the same manner as
they had before at l^avannah.

In the Month of January 1735. the Highlanders arrived in Georgia
(and with them several of the same Country, as Servants to private
Grantees). They were settled on the Alatamaha River, about Sixteen
Miles distant by Water from the Island St. Simo/n's (which is at the
Mouth ot the River). They soon raised convenient Huts, till their
Houses could be built ; and the Town, at their own Desire, was called
Darien ; which Name still remains to that District, but the Town is since
named by them New Inverness.

On the 6th of February 1735. the Embarkation, under the Conduct
of Mr. Oglethorpe, arrived in Georgia ; they were settled upon St.
Simon's Island ; the Town called Frederica was soon laid out, and the
People were set to work in building their Houses. The Creek Indians,
who went thither upon occasion of this new Settlement, agreed, That the
English should possess St. Simon's Island, with the others contiguous to
it. The Land of the Island is very fertile, chiefly Oak and Hickory,
intermixed with Savannahs, and old Indian Fields ; and according to a
Survey made of it, it is about Forty-five Miles in Circumference.

For a Communication between the Settlements in the Northern and

pafely Land-looked: And by the ^'Affidavit of Thomas Pe&rce, Mariner, who was on the
Coast of Georgia near Four Years, It appears That Ships in this Harbour, maj, in Twenty-
four Hours from the Bar, run out into the Qulph Stream of Florida, through which Stream
the Spanish Galleons (when not passing the Windward-Passage) always come.

From the 9TH of June 1736. to the qth of June 1737.

For the Security of the People, (who were settled in the last Year on
St. Simon's Island) and the Southern Part of the Province, several Forts
were built this Year; viz.

One at Frederica, with Four regular Bastioiis, and a Spur-work to-
wards the River, and several Pieces of Cannon were mounted on it

About Ten Miles from Frederica a large Battery is built, commanding
the Entrance into the Sound, where Ten or Twelve Forty-gun Ships may
safely ride, there being sufficient Water on the Bar called Jekyll for such
Ships to go over, which Bar lies in 30 d. 40 m. and behind Jekyll Island
tl»ero is Water, and Room enough for Shipping for Ten Miles up. The
Battery is inclosed within a strong Wall, and h» a Guard-house within
the Wall capable of holding Twenty-foar Men.

Another Fort was built on the Soath-wesl Fart of tiie Island of St,

COLONIAL RECORDS. 389

Peter's, (now called Cumberlaad) which lies inSOd. 30 m. under which
Fort, on which are mounted several Pieces of Ordnance, pointed towards
the River, all Sloops and Boats in the Inland Passage to this Island must
come. Within the Palisade round the Fort, there are fine Springs of
Water; and there is a well-framed Timber Log-house, Thirty Feet by
Eighteen, with a Magazine under it, both for Ammunition and Provis-
ions. A Scout Boat is stationed at this Island.

As these Precautions were taken for the Southern Part of the Prov-
ince, Directions were given for a Fort to be built for the Security of
the Northern Part, by way of an Out-guard ai^aiust any Invasion by
Land. This was at a Place called Augusta, which has proved a very
thriving Town, it being now the chief Place of Trade with the Indians,
and where the Traders from both Provinces of South Carolina and Geor-
gia resort, from the Security which they find there. Augusta is about
Two hundred and Thirty Miles by Water from the Town of Savannah,
and large Boats, which carry about Nine thousand Pounds Weight of
Deer-skins, can navigate down the River Savannah. The Town which
stands upon a high Ground, near the River, is well inhabited, and has
several Ware-houses in it, furnished with Goods for the Indian Trade.
A Road has been likewise made, so that Horsemen can now ride from
this Town to Savannah, as likewise to the Cherokee Indians, who are
situated above the Town of Augusta, and trade with it. A Garisou has
been kept in this Fort, at the Trustees Expense, till the Arrival of the
Regiment his Majesty since ordered for the Defence of the Colony.

Whilst these Dispositions were making for the Safety of the Province,
the Parliament gave Ten thousand Pounds this Year for the further
settling and securing the Colony; but as the Expences of the Forts, and
the Supplies which were sent for the Support of the Colony, were very
great; and as many of the People in the Northern Part of the Province
were as yet unable to subsist themselves, and out of Compassion for them
and their Families, a Store was still kept open for their Subsistence; the
Trustees sent over but few Persons this Year.

Iq the Beginning of the Year 1737. the Spaniards at Augustine made
Preparations for attacking the Colony of Georgia. They laid in Quanti-
ties of Corn and Provision, bought up a great Number of Fire-arms, and
large Bodies of regular Troops were sent thither from the Havannah.

The Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina informed the Magistrates
of Savannah of these Preparations. This Advice and the frequent
Alarms which were otherwise given, drew the People off from their
Labour in the Sowing-season, and the Improvements in their Planta-

390 COLONIAL RECORDS.

tioos were neglected, and they were obliged to make Preparations for
their Defence.

At the same time the Highlanders at New Inverness, who were exposed
to Danger, built a Fort there, and Twelve Pieces of Cannon were
mounted on it.

Tho' the People at Savannah were not so immediately exposed to
Danger, they began to build a large Fort at their Town, of a Palisade-
work with Bastions : But as the Trustees perceived, that this took off
the People from their Cultivation, that the Work would be very charge-
able, and they had not Money to support the Expence ; they found
themselves under a Necessity to put a Stop thereto.

the 7th of February 1736-7. that he had received Advice from Com-

COLONIAL RECORDS. 391

inodore Dent, of Preparations made by the Spaniards at Augustine and
the Havannah, in order to make an Attack on the Colony of Georgia ;
and the Trustees having in a * Memorial to his Majesty, set forth the
Inability of the Colony to protect themselves against such Force as was
preparing at the Havannah and Augustine ; his Majesty was graciously
pleased to order a Regiment of Six hundred effective Men to be raised,
and sent to Georgia, for the Defence and Protection of it.

And as an Encouragement for the Soldiers good Behavior, the Trus-
tees resolved to give each of them a Property in the Colony. They
therefore made a Grant of Land in Trust for an Allotment of Five
Acres of Land to each Soldier of the Regiment to cultivate for his own
Use and Benefit, and to hold the same during his Continuance in his
Majesty's Service ; and, for a further Encouragement, they resolved.
That each Soldier, who, at the End of Seven Years Service from the
Time of his enlisting in the Regiment, should be desirous of quitting his
Majesty's Service and should have his regular Discharge, and would
settle in the Colony, should, on his commanding Officer's Certificate of
his good Behavior, be entitled to a Grant of Twenty Acres of Land.

The Parliament having taken into Consideration the great Expences
which the Trustees had been at in making Roads through the Proviuce,
and the several Fortifications in it, and the Presents made to the Indians
to engage them firmer in the British Interests ; and likewise the Prepara-
tions which were making by the Spaniards in order to take or destroy
the Colony; and having granted for this Year a Sum of Twenty thou-
sand Pounds for the further settling and securing the Colony; the
Trustees made another Embarkation, which consisted chiefly of perse-
cuted German Protestants.

From the qth of June 1738. to the 9TH of June 1739.

As several Merchants and Captains of Ships had, for their own Inter-
est, carried into the Colony, from New York, and other Places, large
Cargoes of Provisions, &c. great Part of which (to save the Merchants
from Loseet) was taken in at the Store without a proper Authority from the
Trustees ; and an Expence created thereby which the Trustees could not
estimate, nor have Ability to discharge, and for which certified Accounts
were returned to them ; the Trustees published an Advertisement in the
London Gazette , and ordered it to be published in the South Carolina
Qazetie, and to be affixed upon the Doors of the Store-houses at Savan-
nah and Frederica: That out of a due Regard to publick Credit, they
had resolved. That all Expeiices which they had ordered, or should order,
to be made in America, for the Use of the Colony, should be defrayed
and paid for in Georgia, in Sola Bills of Exchange only, under their
Seal ; and they gave Notice, That no Person whatsoever had any Author-
ity from them, or in their Name, or on their Account, to purchase or
receive any Cargoes of Provisions, Stores or Necessaries, without paying
for them in the said Sola Bills.

Upon a Petition of one Abraham De Lyon, a Freeholder of Savannah
in Georgia, that he had expended a great Sum in the Cultivation of
Vines, which he had carried from Portugal, and had brought to great
Perfection ; and several Certificates being produced of his great Improve-
ments in cultivating them, and of the Goodness of the Grapes, and their
thriving in the most barren Lands of the Province ; the Trustees assisted
him to proceed in his Improvements.

The Security of the Colony being provided for by the Regiment sent
over by his Majesty, the Parliament gave Eight thousand Pounds for the
further settling the Colony : Therefore the Trustees sent over an Esti-

COLONIAL RECORDS. 393

niate of all the Expences which they allowed to be made in the Province ;
by which several military Expences, which they had been engaged in for
the Defence of the Colony, and which were very great, were reduced.

The Trustees this Year sent over the Reverend Mr. Norris to reside at
Frederica, with a Salary of Fifty Pounds a Year, ordered a House to be
built for him, and another for the Inhabitants to perform divine Service
in, till a Church could be built there.

The Assembly of South Carolina having in the last Year passed an
Ordinance for raising a Sum to indemnify their Traders in Opposition to
the Act of which was approved of by his Majesty in Council, for main-
taining the Peace with the Indians in the Province of Georgia, upon a
Memorial from the Trustees, complaining of the said Ordinance, and
upon the Petition of the Council and Assembly of South Carolina against
the said Act, there was a solemn Hearing before the Lords Commission-
ers for Trade and Plantatious; and afterwards before a Committee of the
Lords ot his Majesty's Privy Council : Whereupon his Majesty was
pleased to order. That the said Ordinance of the Assembly of South Caro-
lina should be repealed, and declared void; and was pleased to send an
Instruction to the Trustees to prepare a proper Act or Ordinance for set-
tling the Trade carried on by the Provinces of South Carolina and Geor-
gia, with the Indians, on such a Footing as might be for the mutual Bene-
fit and Satisfaction of both Provinces ; and his Majesty at the same time
was graciously pleased to give an Instruction to Samuel Horsey, Esq ;
Governor and Lieutenant General of South Carolina, to recommend to
the Council and Assembly there, to pass a Law for the like Purpose in
that Province : But Samuel Horsey, Esq; dying soon after, and no
other Governor having since gone to South Carolina, that Affair remains,
unsettled.

The Trustees immediately sent to Colonel Oglethorpe a Copy of his
Majesty's Instructions, and desired, that he would consult with Lieuten-
ant Governor Bull in South Carolina, that Plans of proper Acts might
be prepared and sent over to the Trustees for their Consideration, in
order to answer the Purposes of his Majesty's Instructions ; and that in
the meantime the Commissioners of South Carolina, and the Commis-
sioners of Georgia, might proceed in their respective Provinces, in Con.
cert with each other, to carry on a mutual Trade to the Indians in both
Provinces.

Mr. Stephens, Secretary in Georgia, having informed the Trusteea,
That the Grand Jury at Savannah claimed a Right of administeriDg
Oaths, and making Inquiry thereon, into all such Matters, as they should
think fit, and the Trustees having perceived, that, in a Representation of

394 COLONIAL RECORDS.

the said Grand Jury, they had pretended to such Right, sent a Letter to
Mr. Stephens, to acquaint him, That the Trustees were sensible great
Mischief might be done by ill-designing Men, who might procure them,
selves to be put upon the Panel, if this Claim of the Orand Jury was
allowed of; and therefore the Trustees ordered him to acquaint the Peo-
ple, That the Grand Juries had no such Right, and that their Claim was
intirely illegal.

As the Trustees, both by their Letters and Instructions to the Magis*
trates, had constantly exhorted and encouraged the People to a Cultiva-
tion of their Lands, on which they were to depend for their Support ;
and as they found, that many (as well of those whom they had sent over
as Objects of Charity, as of others, who, at different Times, had gone
into the Colony from other Plantations for a temporary Maintenance)
still continued in their Idleness, and were a Burden upon the Trust; they
gave Orders for striking off the Store, all such as, having had Time to
cultivate their Lands, had neglected it. This carried from the Colony
many of those who had gone thither, or joined it from other Parts of
America, to gain a Subsistance for a Year or two ; and of others, who
had not considered the Hardships attending the first Settlement of a Coun-
try, and were tired of their Labour.

The Trustees receiving an Account, dated the 12th of February 1738.
from their Secretary in the Province, of an Uneasiness amongst several
Persons, upon the Tenure of their Lots being confined to Heirs Male ;
and they considering, that the Colony had been some time established,
the People grown more numerous ; and a Regiment being stationed in it
for its Defence ; whereby the former Tenures became less necessary ; did
on the 15th of March following, at their anniversary Meeting, resolve,
That in Default of Issue Male, any legal Possessor of Land might by a
Deed in Writing, or by his last Will and Testament, appoint his Daughter
as his Successor, or any other Male or Female Relation ; with a Proviso,
That the Successor should, in the proper Court in Georgia, personally
claim the Lot granted or devised, within Eighteen Months after the
Death of the Grantor or Devisor.

This was soon after extended to every legal Possessor's being impowered
to appoint any other Person as his Successor.

But whilst the Trustees were taking these Steps for the Satisfaction of
the People ; and whilst those in the Southern Part of the Province (tho*
exposed to greater Danger) were industrious and easy in their Settle-
ments, many of those in the Northern Part, who had neglected the Cul-
tivation of their Lands, drew up a * Representation, dated the 9th of

* Appendix, No. VIII.

COLONIAL RECORDS. 396

December 1738. setting forth the Want of a Fee-eimple to their Lands,
and Negroes to cultivate them ; but they were far from being seconded
or supported by the People in the Southern Part of the Province in this
Bepresentation, who not only refused to sign it, but f petitioned the Trus.
tees against the Use of Negroes ; setting forth the Danger they should
be in from the Spaniards, who had proclaimed Freedom to all Slaves who
would resort to them ; and that by this means they should be exposed to
an Enemy without, and a more dangerous one in their Bosoms.

The industrious Saltzburghers also at Ebenezer (who are in the North-
ern Part of the Province, not far from Savannah) X petitioned against
Negroes, and set forth their Satisfaction and Happiness in their Settle-
ment ; that they had raised in the last Season more Rice, Peas, Potatoes,
Pomkins, Cabbage, Corn, &c. than was necessary for their Consumption,
and that they did not find the Climate so warm but that it was very tol-
erable for working People.

From the qth of June 1739. to the 9TH of June 1740.

At the Time that some of the People of Savanoah were so clamorous
for Negroes, (for Seventy-five Land and Freeholders, of whom Fifty-
two were Freeholders, did not apply for them) the Province of South
Carolina was under frequent Alarms upon account of the Negroes
there. They had lutelligence, that a Conspiracy was formed by the
Negroes in Carolina to rise, and forcibly make their Way out of the
Province, to put themselves under the Protection of the Spaniards ; who
had proclaimed Freedom to all who should run to them from their
Owners. That this Conspiracy was discovered at Winyaw, the most
Northern Part of that Province, from whence, as the Negroes must bend
their Course, it argued that the other Parts of the Province must be
privy to it, and that the Rising was to be universal. Whereupon the
whole Province wtis upon their Guard ; the Number of Negroes in South
CHn»lina being computed to be about Forty thousand, and the Number
of White Men, at most, not above Five thousand. As several Negroes,
who were employed in Pettiauguas, and other like Craft, (which they
carried ofl with them) had taken the Benefit of the Spaniards Proclama-
tion, and gone to Augustine, the Government of South Carolina sent a
solemn Deputation to demand their Slaves. This Deputation consisted
of Mr. Braithwaite, a Member of the Council, Mr. Rutlidge, one of the
Assembly, and Mr. Amiau, Clerk of the Assembly ; but the Governor
of Augustine, tho' in Time of profound Peace, peremptorily refused to
deliver them up, and declared he had Orders to receive all such as
shiHild come thither, and protect them.

Upon this, and the Petitions which were sent from the Highlanders
at Darieu, and the Saltsburghers at Ebenezer, representing the Danger
and Inconvenience of the Introduction of Negroes, the Trustees sent,
under their Seal, an * Answer to the Representation from some of thA
Inhabitants of Savannah.

Among the Persons to whom Grants of Lands were made in order to
their settling at their own Expence in the Colony, some never went
over ; others were Gentlemen of Carolina, who neglected to take up
thoir Lands, or even desire to have them laid out; and others, who
quitted their Plantations, and went to reside at Savannah as Shop-
keepers: One Man in particular, an Apothecary Surgeon, from the
Beginning, neglected his Grant, and followed his Practice in the Town ;
another quitted his Plantation, and betook himself to selling of Rum :
To theae Two, almost ail the Town of Savannah were indebted for

Phyeick or Rum; and thej first raised the Clamour, that Lands migh^
be alienable, and Negroes admitted, which would have made them Pos'
sessors of the chief Part of the Lots. To these some others, who had
gone at their own Expeuce, and had employed their covenanted Serv-
vants on their Plantations, joined themselves, taking their Servants from
their Labour, and letting them out to Hire in the Town, for the sake
of an immediate Profit, on which they lived in an idle and riotous
manner ; and even at the Time when their Servants were taken ofi from
their proper Labour in their Plantations, they fomented the Clamour
for Nejjroes, in order to carry them on. The Spirit of Idleness, which
was very early introduced in the Town, many of the People were too
ready to follow. Constant Clubs have been held, and Horse-races kept
up by them, to amuse and divert the People from their Labour ; and
Delinquents (who have insulted the Liws, even in the Courts of Jus-
tice, and declared they would do their utmost to destroy the Colony)
have, when committed to Prison, been abetted and supported by them.
By these the before- mentioned Representation was formed, and many
of the People by their own Inclination to Idleness, by the Power which
the others had over them as Creditors, and by Hopes being given them,
that if they stuck to;:ether, the Trustees must grant them Negroes, or
see the Colony abandoned, were thus drawn in to sign the same; in
which they in a manner demanded the Permi:<sion of Negroes, and an
Alteration of their Tenures.

The Trustees, to make ail the People as easy and contented as they
could, published an Advertisement in the London Gazette^ the 8th of
September 1739. and other Papers, which was continued for several
Days; an«i ordered it to be published in the South Carolina Oazette,
that they had resolved to inlarge their Grants on Failure of Issue Male,
and t<> make a cetain Provision for the Widows of the Grantees, in the
following manner, viz. That the Lands already granted, and such as
should hereafter be granted, should, on Failure of Issue Male, descend
to the Daughters) of such Grantees ; and in case there should be no
Issue, Male or Female, that the Grantees might devise such Lauds ; and
for want ot such Devise, that such Lands should descend to their Heirs
at I^w ; with a Proviso, that the Possession of the Person who should
enjoy such Devise, should not be increased to more than Five hundred
Acres; and that the Widows of the Grantees should hold and enjoy
the Dwelling-house, Garden, and One Moiety of the Lands their Hus-
bands should die seized of, for and during the Term of their Lives.

The Trustees directed in the Advertisement, that those who intended
to have tb^ lienefit given them, should enter their respective Claims, in

398 COLONIAL RECORDS.

order that proper Grants and Conveyances in the Law might be forth-
with prepared and executed for that Purpose ; and that no Fee or
Reward was to be taken for the entering of any such Claim, directly or
indirectly, by any Person or Persons whatsoever.

In the Month of August 1739. the Trustees received Advice from
General Oglethorpe, that he had frequent Intelligence of the Spaniards
endeavoring to bribe the Indians, and particularly the Creek Nation,
into a Rupture with the English ; which made it necessary for him to
go to the General Assembly of the Indian Nations at the Coweta-town,
about Five hundred Miles distant from Frederica, in order to prevent
such Designs and Seditions amongst them ; and that he had been obliged
to buy Horses, and Presents to carry up to this Meeting, where the
Choctaws (who are upon the Frontiers between the English and French
Settlements) and the Chickesaws were to send their Deputies.

This Journey of General Oglethorpe's has since appeared to be of
great Service to the Publick; for on the 26th of August 1739. Mr.
Stephens received an Express from Colonel Bull, Lieutenant Governor
of South Carolina, that he had Intelligence from Lieutenant Governor
Clarke of New York, concerning the French marching from Mont Reall,
near Quebeck, with a Body of about Two hundred regular Troops, and
Five hundred Indians, who were to be reinforced by French and Indians
in their Journey : That this Army was designed against the Indians in
Friendship with his Britannick Majesty's Subjects of Carolina and
Georgia, who are situated near some Branches of the Mississippi River.
Colonel Bull added, that he should immediately dispatch an Express to
the Creek Nation with Advice to General Oglethorpe of the Contents
of Lieutenant Governor Clarke's Letter ; and that it was necessary, that
both the Provinces of Carolina and Georgia should be on their Guard ;
though if the Creek Indians should prove true, the Danger would not
be great. General Oglethorpe, by his Treaties with the Indians in this
Journey, has confirmed them in the British Interest, and made a new
Treaty with them ; whereby their former Concession of Lands to Great
Britain was confirmed and extended.

A Parcel of Raw Silk was brought this Year from Georgia by one
Mr. Samuel Augspourguer, who made an AfiBdavit before a Master in
Chancery, that he received it from the Hands of Mr. Thomas Jones, the
Trustees Store-keeper at Savannah, who told him it was the Produce of
Georgia ; and the said Samuel Augspourguer, who resided in the South-
ern Part of the Province, said, That, when at Savannah, he saw the
Italian Family there winding off Silk from the Coquons.

The Silk was shewed at the Trustees Office to Mr. John Zachary, an

COLONIAL RECORDS. 399

eminent Kaw Silk Merchant, and Mr. Booth, one of the greatest Silk
Weavers in England, who declared it was as fine as any Italian Silk, and
that it was worth, at least, Twenty Shillings a Pound.

This Mr. Samuel Augspourguer, who joined the Colony in the Begin-
ning of the Year 1736. left it in July 1739. with Two Men Servants, and
their Children, on his Plantation ; and came over to obtain a Grant of
Five hundred Acres of Land, and to get some of his own Countrymen
from the Canton of Beam in Switzerland, to go with him as Servants,
on his Return to Georgia, in order to proceed more effectually in the
Cultivation of his Lands.

Incorporated Society in Scotland for promoting Christian Knowledge,
in order to raise a Maintenance for the Scots Minister at New Inverness

The Lands granted this Year, to be cultivated by a Person at his own
Expence, were Five hundred Acres.

The Lands granted in Trust in the said Eight Years, in order to be
granted out in smaller Portions in Georgia, were Forty-one thousand
and Six hundred Acres ; to be cultivated for religious Uses, were Nine
hundred Acres ; and to be cultivated for the Maintenance of an Orphan-
house, were Five hundred Acres.

The Lands granted in the said Eight Years, to Persons who were to

mainder of all the Money they ever received being 5,919 1. 7 8. 7 d. will
be carried into their succeeding Accompt.

From the qth of June 1740. to the present Time.

The Trustees this Year took further Methods for the Satisfaction of
the People in the Province ; they extended the Tenures, by which the
Daughter of a Grantee, or any other Person, was made capable ot
enjoying, by Devise or Inheritance, any Quantity of Lands which
did not increase her or his Possession, to more than Two thousand
Acres.

A Licence was likewise granted for all the present Possessors of Land
in Georgia, to make Leases of any Part of their Lots, for any Terra not
exceeding Three Years, to any Person residing in Georgia, and who
should reside there during the Term of such Lease.

A general Release was likewise passed, by which no Advantage was
to be taken against any of the present Possessors of Land in Georgia,
for any Forfeitures incurred at any time before Christmas 1740. in rela-
tion either to the Tenure or Cultivation of Land. And the Possessors
of Fifty Acres of Land were not obliged to cultivate more than Five
Acres thereof in Ten Years, from their Grants ; and those of under
Fifty Acres, in Proportion : And the Possessors of Five hundred Acres
of Land, were not obliged to cultivate more than One hundred and
Twenty Acres thereof in Twenty Years, from their Grants ; and those
of under Five hundred Acres, and above Fifty Acres, in Proportion,
to prevent any Forfeitures for want of cultivating the Quantities
required.

Under these Circumstances it is presumed, That no Complaint can
now with Reason be made against the Tenure by which the Inhabitants
at this Time hold their Lands ; since they have more Power than is
generally given by Marriage Settlements, in which the Grantees are
only Tenants for Life, incapable of mortgaging, or aliening, or making
any Disposition by their last Will ; whereas the Freeholders in Georgia
are now become Tenants in Tail General, and may, with the Licence
of the Common-Council of the Trustees, upon Application made to them
for that Purpose, mortgage or alien ; and further, without Application,
have it absolutely in their Power, on Failure ot Issue in Tail, to dispo^
thereof by their last Will.

By an Account received from the Secretary in the Province, it appears.
That on the First of August 1740. about Seventy Freeholders of the
Northern Part of the Province, delivered in the Town-court of Savannah,

COLONIAL RECORDS. 401

their Claims of Lots, under the Tenures which were advertised the last
Year in the South Carolina and London ChueUet,

That on the Fifteenth of the same Month, as manj or more ap«
peared in the said Town-court on the same Occasion ; and that on the
Twenty-seventh of the same Month, divers more delivered in their Claims
likewise.

The Trustees are informed by their Secretary in the Province, That in
pursuance of their Orders, he had just finished an authenticated Account
of the State of the Colony, with respect to the Number of Inhabitants
in the several Towns and Villages^; the Number of Houses, and the Set-
tlements made ; the Progress which the several People had made in the
Cultivation of their Lands, and their Ability or Inability to support
themselves ; and in any Case where the last appeared, the Reasons of it ;
the Proportions of the different Sorts of Soil, as near as could be com-
puted ; and an Account of the several Produces, which, by Experience
or Appearance, could or might be raised for Trade. And the Trustees
are in daily Expectation of receiving from him the said Account. But by
the several Accounts before received, they are enabled to give, though an
imperfect one, the following State of the Settlements, viz.

The Town of Savannah is about Ten Miles up the River Savannah ;
there are (beside Warehouses and Huts) at least One hundred and Thirty
Houses in the Town. As these, for the sake of Air, and to prevent the
spreading of any Fire, are built at some Distance from each other, they
make several spacious Squares and wide Streets. There is a regular
Magistracy settled in the Town, which the Trustees are obliged to be at
the Expence of supporting, till the' Colony arrives at sufficient Strength
to do it. There are in the Town a Court-house, a Store-house, a Goal,
a House for the Trust-Servants, a Wharf, a Guard-house, and some other
publick Buildings ; a Church is at present buildiog, and a Clergyman is
settled there. The Town is excellently situated for Trade, the Naviga-
tion of the River being very secure ; and Ships of Three hundred Ton
can lie within Six Yards of the Town, and the Worm does not eat into
them.

About Four Miles from Savannah, inland from the River, are the Two
Villages Highgate and Hampstead, which lie at about a Mile distant
ftom each : The People settled there apply themselves chiefly to Gar-
dening, and supply the Town of Savannah with Quantities of Greens
and Garden-stuff.

By the Account of Mr. Thomas Stephens, who at his Father's Request,
was sent over to assist him in his Business of Secretary in the Province,
and continued with him there some short time, he states. That there are

24 r— TOl 8

402 COLONIAL RECORDS,

Twenty PlantatioDS, within Twenty Miles round Savannah, which have
€ach of them from Five to Thirty Acres of Land cleared.

About Fifteen Miles from Savannah, is a Village called Abercorn ;
about Twenty Miles further up the River, is the Town of Ebenezer,
where the Saltzburghers are settled, with Two Ministers ; One of whom
Computed, That the Number of his Congregation, in June 1738, con-
sisted of One hundred and Forty-six. Therefore as the Infants could
not be reckoned in the Computation, and as Seven more have since been
sent and settled with them, it is believed the Number has been increased ;
especially since the Town is so healthy, that by a Letter sent to the Society
for promoting Christian Knowledge, by the Reverend Mr. Bolzius, one
of the Ministers at Ebenezer, dated ihe 26th of June 1740. he declared.
That in a Year's Time one Person only had died, which was a Child of
Four Years old. The People are industrious and sober ; they raise not
only a sufficient Quantity of Corn, and other Produces, for their own
Subsistence, but they sell great Quantities to those at Savannah, who
have not been so careful of their Plantations ; they have great Herds of
Cattle, and are in so thriving a Condition, that not one Person has aban-
doned his Settlement, or sent over the least Complaint about the Tenures
or the want of Negroes. On the contrary, they in a Body petitioned
against the Use of Negroes ; and their ministers have declared, That their
signing that Petition was a voluntary Act : And at their Desire, another
Embarkation of their Countrymen, who are willing to go from Germany
and join them, is designed to be sent with all convenient Speed.

About Ten Miles from hence, upon a River running into Savannah,
is a Place called Old Ebenezer, where is a Cow-pen, and great Number
of Cattle, for the Use of the Publick, and for Breeding.

At a considerable Distance from hence is the Town of Augusta, before
described, which, from the great Resort of Traders and Indians, is in a
thriving Condition, and is and will be a great Protection to both the
Provinces of Carolina and Georgia, against any Designs of the French.

In the Southern Part of the Province is the Town of New Invemeas,
upon the River Alatamaha, where the Highlanders are settled.

And about Twenty Miles from hence, on the Island, of St. Simon's
near the Sea, is the Town of Frederica, with a regular Magistracy, as at
Savannah, supported at the Expence of the Trust ; Strong Fortifications
round the Town are almost finished ; and at the South-East Point of the
Island are Barracks for Three hundred and Thirty Men.

There are Settlements on the Islands of Jekyll and Cumberland, which
lie at a small Distance from each other to the Southward of Frederica ;
and on the last. Two Forts are built, one of which was described before.

COLONIAL RECORDS. 403

and the other was finished in April 1740. upon the South End of the
Island. It commands the Inlet to Amelia Sound, is strongly palisaded
with Flankers, and is defended by Eight Pieces of Cannon.

Barracks are built upon this Island for Two hundred and Twenty Men,
with Store-houses, which were finished in October 1738.

There are Six Forts in the Province, and a Battery of Cannon erected
to secure the Harbour at St. Simon's, under which Ships may safely lie.

The Indians from the Presents which they have annually received
from the Trustees, and from the Justice and Humanity with which they
have been treated, are secured in the British Interest, notwithstandiog the
Arts both of the French and the Spaniards to seduce them : By this
South Carolina has been free from those Wars in which (as the Preamble
to his Majesty's Charter sets forth) they had frequently suffered, and so
late as in the Year 1715. had been laid almost waste with Fire and
Sword ; and by the Security which South Carolina received by such a
Frontier as Georgia is to it, very large Tracts of Land have been culti-
vated in the Southern Part of that Province, which no Person would
venture to settle on before, and a great Quantity of Rice raised thereon.

As the People in Georgia, sent on the Charity, were supported, to en-
able them to raise their own Provision.'*, in the first Place, on the Lands
they should clear, and to convert the Timber they should cut down in
clearing those Lands into Lumber, which they might, to their great Ad-
vantage, export to the Sugar Colonies ; and further, to raise Silk, Wine
and Oil, for which the Climate was very proper ; it was hoped from thence
they would gain a comfortable Subsistence, and be of Service to their
Mother-Country in raising such Produces, which at present are purchased
from Foreigners with ready Money.

Having thus stated the Plan laid down for the Trustees by hb Majesty's
Charter ; the several Steps taken by them for the Execution of that Plan,
with their yearly Progress therein ; the several Obstructions from unfore-
seen Accidents, which have checked that Progress, with the present Con-
dition of the Colony, according to the latest and most authentick Accounts
from thence ; they submit the Whole to the Wisdom of this Honourable
House, being intensely disposed to follow any Directions that shall flow
from thence: And as they have no other View but the Service of their
Country, by making this Colony as useful to the Interest of Great-Britain,
as by its Situation and Climate it is capable of being, they heartily wish
the Trust in abler Hands, that those important Services might not be
defeated thro' their Inability.

By Order of Trustees,

Benj. Mabtyk, Secretary.

Georgia.

Qentlemen,

In writing this Answer to tbe Letter, which I had the Honour to
receive from jou, dated the 29th Instant, wherein yon desire to know
my Sentiments of an Undertaking to raise Raw Silk in your new Settle-
ments in Georgia ; of the Probability of succeeding therein ; the proper
Steps to be taken to bring that Work to Perfection ; and my Opinion of
the Nature, Quality and Use of the Raw Silk produced in Carolina : It
is a great Pleasure to me, that, from Experiments which I made some
Years ago, I can now, besides my Opinion, give you some Information
concerning that Silk, which may be depended on.

The Value and Usefulness of the Undertaking will appear, as soon as
we consider, that all the Silk consumed in this Kingdom, is now of foreign
Growth and Manufacture, which costs the Nation very great Sums of
Money yearly to Purchase ; and that the raising our Supply thereof in
his Majesty's Dominions in America, would 'save us all that Money,
afford Employment to many Thousands of his Majesty's Subjects, and
greatly increase the Trade and Navigation of Great Britain.

It appears to me as beneficial to this Kingdom, attended with as little
Hazard or Difficulty, as much wanted, and which may as soon be brought
to Perfection in a proper Climate, as any Undertaking so considerable in
itself, that I ever heard of. I therefore think there is a very great
Probability of its succeeding if such proper Measures are pursued, and
such Assistance afforded to the poor People at their first setting out, as
are necessary to settle, instruct and encourage them.

The Silk produced in Carolina has as much natural Strength and
Beauty, as the Silk of Italy (which is commonly called Fine Silk); and
by the several Experiments I have tried with it, I am satisfied, it may
be made to answer the same Purposes, as Italian Silk now does, if it be
reeled in short Skains, a fine, clean and even Thread : To affect which,
if some experienced Persons are at first sent to teach the People, the
Work will soon be made easy to the meanest Capacity, and the Value of
the Silk will be thereby greatly increased.

As for my own Part, if at any time you should tbink I can be of Use
to promote so good a Work, I sball be ready to execute your Commands
as far as I am able; and always remain,

Extract of a Letter from South Carouna Gazette,
dated at charles- town the 22d march 1 732.

On Tuesday the 13th Instant I went on board a Canoe, in Company
with Mr. George Ducat and Mr. John Ballantine, with Four I^egroes ;
and about 10 o'Clock we set off from Mr. Lloyd's Bridge for Georgia,
and passing by Port Royal on Wednesday Night, we arrived, on Friday
Morning, an Hour before Day, at Yammacraw, a Place so called by the
Indians, but now Savannah, in the Colony of Georgia. Some time
before we came to the Landing, the Centinel challenged us, and under-
standing who we were, admitted us ashore. This is a very high Bluff,
Forty Feet perpendicular from High-water Mark. It lies, according to
Captain Gascoigne's Observations, in the Latitude 31 : 58, which he
took off Tybee, an Island that lies at the Mouth of the Savannah Biv^r.
It is distant from Charles-Town S. W. according to the Course and
Windings of the Rivers and Creeks, about 140 Miles ; but, bj a direct
Course, 77, allowing Sullivant's Island to be in the Latitude 32 : 47 from
Augustine, N. E. and by E. about 140 Miles, and by the Course of
the Rivers is distant from Fort Moore 300 Miles ; but, upon a direct
Line, but 115 MUesN. W. and byW. This Bluff is distant 10 Miles from
the Mouth of the Rivers on the South Side ; and Parrysburgh is 24 Miles
above it on the North, and is so situated, that you have a beautiful Pros-
pect, both up and down the River. It is very sandy and barren and
consequently a wholesome Place for a Town or City* There are on it
130 odd Souls; and firom the Time they embarqued at London, to the
Time I left the Place, there died but Two sucking Children, and they
at Sea. When they arrived, there was standing on it a great Quantity
of the best Sorts of Pine, most of which is already cut down on the
Spot where the Town is laid out to be built The Land is barren

Sides, within a Quarter of a Mile of the Town b choice good Planting-

land. Colonel Bull told me, That he had been Seven Miles back, and
found it extraordinary good.

Mr. Oglethorpe is indefatigable, takes a rast deal of Pains ; his Fare
is but indifferent, having little else at present but salt Provisions : He
is extremely well beloved by all his People ; the general Title they give
him is Father. If any of them is sick, he immediately visits them, and
takes a great deal of Care of them. If any Difierence arises, he is the
Person that decides it. Two happened while I was there, and in my
Presence ; and all the Parties went away, to outward Appearance, sat-
isfied and contented with his Determination. He keeps a strict Disci-
pline ; I never saw one of his People drunk, or heard one swear, all
the Time I was there : He does not allow them Rum, but in lieu gives
them English Beer. It is surprising to see how chearfully the Men go
to work, considering they have not been bred to it : There are no Idlers
there ; even the Boys and Girls do their Parts . There are Four Houses
already up, but none finished ; and he hopes, when he has got more
Sawyers, which I suppose he will have in a short time, to finish Two
Houses a Week. He has ploughed up some Land, part of which he
sowed with Wheat, which is come up, and looks promising. He has
Two or Three Gardens, which he has sowed with divers Sorts of Seeds,
and planted XbxS^e, with other Sorts of Pot-herbs, Sage, Leeks, Skel-
lions, Celeri, Liquorice, <fcc. and several Sorts of Fruit-trees. He was
palisading the Town round, including some Part of the Common, which
I do suppose may be finished in a Fortnight's Time. In short, he has
done a vast deal of Work for the Time, and I think his Name justly
deserves to be immortalized.

Mr. Oglethorpe has with him Sir Walter Raleigh's written Journal,
and, by the Latitude of the Place, the Marks and Tradition of the In-
dians, it is the very first Place where he first went ashore, and talked
with the Indians, and was the first Englishman that ever they saw : And
about half a Mile from Savannah is a high Mount of Earth, under
which lies their chief King ; and the Indians informed Mr. Oglethorpe,
That the King desired before he died, that he might be buried on the
8pot where he talked with that great good Man.

The River Water is very good, and Mr. Oglethorpe has proved
U several Ways, and thinks it an good as the River of Thames. On
Monday the 19th, we took our Leave of Mr. Oglethorpe at Nine o'Clock
In the Morning, and embarked for Charles-Town ; and when we set off
hti WAS pleased to honour us with a Volley of small Arms, and the
Discharge of Five Cannon : And coming down the Rivers, we found
the Water perfectly fresh Six Miles below the Town, and saw Six or

gia, and joor great Goodness, so timely applied, in promoting the Set-
tlement of the Swiss at Purrysburgh ; encouraged by such Views of
your Majesty's wise and paternal Care, extended to your remotest Sub-
jects, and excited by the Duty which we owe to ;^our Most Sacred
Majesty, to be always watchful for the Support and Security of your
Majesty's Interest, especially at this very critical Conjuncture, when
the Flame of a War, breaking out in Europe, may very speedily be
lighted here in your Majesty's Frontier Province, which, in Situation, is
known to be of the utmost Importance to the general Trade and Traffick
of America: We therefore, your Majesty's most faithful Governor,
Council and Commons, convened in your Majesty's Province of South
Carolina, crave Leave, with great Humility, to represent to your Ma-
jesty the present State and Condition of this your Province, and how
greatly it stands in Need of your Majesty's gracious and timely Succor,
in case of a War, to assist our Defence against the French and Spaniards,
or any other Enemies to your Majesty's Dominions, as well as against
the many Nations of Savages, which so nearly threaten the Safety of
your Majesty *s Subjects.

The Province of South Carolina, and the new Colony of Georgia, are the
Southern Frontiers of all your Majesty's Dominions on the Continent of
America, to the South and South- West of which is situate the strong
Castle of St. Augustine, garisoned by Four hundred Spaniards, who
have several Nations of Indians living under their Subjection, besides
several other small Settlements and Garisons near the Appellaches,
some of which are not Eighty miles distant from the Colony of Georgia.
To the South-West and West of us the French have already erected
a considerable Town near Fort Thoulouse, on the Moville River, and
several other Forts and Garisons, some not above Three hundred Miles
distant from our Settlements ; and at New Orleans on the Mississippi
River, since her late Majesty Queen Ann's War, they have exceedingly
increased their Strength and Traffick, and have now many Forts and
Garisons on both Sides of that large River, for several Hundred Miles
up the same ; and since his Most Christian Majesty has taken out of the
Mississippi Company the Government of that Country into his own
Hands, the French Natives of Canada come daily down in Shoals to set-
tle all along that River, where many regular Forces have of late been
sent over by the King, to strengthen the Garisons in those Places ; and,
according to our best and latest Advices, they have Five hundred Men
in Pay, constantly employed as Wood-Rangers, to keep their neighbour-
ing Indians in Subjection, and to prevent the dbtant ones from disturb-
ing their Settlements ; which Management of the French has so well sue-

COLONIAL RECORDS. 416

ceeded, that, we are very well assured, thej have wholly now in their
Poflsession, and under their Influence, the several numerous Nations of
Indians that are situate near the Mississippi River. One of which,
called the Choctaw, by Estimation, consists of about Five thousand
fighting Men, and who were always deemed a very warlike Nation, lies
on this Side of the River, not above Four hundred Miles distant from
our Out settlements, among whom, as well as several other Nations of
Indians, many French Europeans have been sent to settle, whom the
Priests and Missionaries among them encourage to take Indian Wives,
and use divers other alluring Methods to attach the Indians the better
to the French Alliance ; by which Means the French are become thor.
oughly acquainted with the Indian Way, Warring, and Living in the
Woods, and have now a great Number of White Men among them, able
to perform a long March with an Army of Indians, upon any Expedi-
tion.

We further beg Leave to inform your Majesty, That if the Measures
of France should provoke your Majesty to a State of Hostility against it in
Europe, we have great Reason to expect an Invasion will be here made
upon your Majesty's Subjects by the French and the Indians from the
Mississippi Settlements. They have already paved a Way for a Design
of that Nature, by erecting a Fort, called the Albama Fort, alias Fort
Lewis, in the Middle of the Upper Creek Indians, upon a navigable
River leading to Moville, which they have kept well garisoned, and
mounted with Fourteen Pieces of Cannon, and have lately been pre-
vented from erecting a Second nearer to us in that Quarter. The Creeks
are a Nation very bold, active and daring, consisting of about Thirteen
hundred fighting Men, (and not above One hundred and Fifty Miles
distant from the Choctaws) whom tho' we heretofore have traded with,
claimed, and held in our Alliance, yet the French, on account of that
Fort, and a superior Ability to make them liberal Presents, have been for
time striving to gain them over to their Interest, and have succeeded
with some of the Towns of the Creeks ; which, if they can be secured
in your Majesty's Interest, are the only Nation which your Majesty's Sub-
jects here can depend upon as their best Barrier against any Attempts,
either of the French, or their confederate Indians.

We most humbly pray Leave further to inform your Majesty, That the
French at Moville perceiving, that they could not gain the Indians to their
Interest, without buying their Deer-skins, (which is the only Commodity
the Indians have to purchase Necessaries with) and the French not being
able to dispose of those Skins, by reason of their having no Vend for
them in Old France, they have found Means to encourage Vessels from

416 COLONIAL RECX>RDS.

hence, New York, and other Places, (which are not prohibited by the
Acts of Trade) to truck those Skins with them for Indian trading Goods,
especially the British Woolen Manufactures, which the French dispose
of to the Creeks and Choctaws, and other their Indians ; by which
means the Indians are much more alienated from our Interest, and on
every Occasion object to us, that the French can supply them with
Strouds and Blankets as well as the English ; which would have the
contrary Effect, if they were wholly furnished with those Commodities by
your Majesty's Subjects trading among them. If a Stop were therefore
put to that pernicious Trade with the French, the Creek Indians chief
Dependence would be on this Government, and that of Georgia, to sup-
ply them with those Goods ; by which Means great Part of the Choc-
taws living next to the Creeks, would see the Advantage the Creek In-
dians enjoyed by having British Woolen Manufactures wholly from your
Majesty's Subjects, and thereby be invited in a short time to enter into
a Treaty of Commerce with us, which they have lately made some Offers
for, and which, if effected, would soon lessen the Interest of the French
with these Indians, and by Degrees attach them to that of your Majesty.
The only Expedient we can propose to recover and confirm that Na-
tion to your Majesty's Interest, is by speedily making them Presents, to
withdraw them from French Alliaoce ; and by building some Forts among
them, your Majesty maybe put into such a Situation, that, on the first
Notice of Hostilities with the French, your Majesty may be able to re-
duce at once the Albama Fort, and we may then stand against the
French and their Indians, which if not timely prepared for, before a
War breaks out, we have too much Reason to fear, we may be soon over-
run by the united Strength of the French, the Creeks, and Choctaws,
with many other Nations of their Indian Allies ; for, should the Creeks
become wholly Enemies, who are well acquainted with all our Settle-
ments, we probably should also soon be deserted by the Cherokeea, and
a few other small Tribes of Indians, who, for the sake of our Booty,
would readily join to make us a Prey to the French and Savages. Ever
since the late Indian War, the Offences given us then by the Creeks have
made that Nation very jealous of your Majesty's Subjects of this Prov-
ince. We have therefore concerted Measures with the Honourable James
Oglethorpe, Esq ; who, being at the Head of the new Colony, will (we
hope) be successful for your Majesty's Interest among that People. He
has already, by Presents, attached the Lower Creeks to the Service of
your Majesty, and has laudably undertaken to endeavour the fixing
a Garison among the Upper Creeks, the Expence of which is already
in Part provided for in this Session of the General Assembly of this

COLONIAL RECORDS. 417

Provinoe : We hope therefore to prevent the French from encroaching
farther on your Majesty's Territories, until your Majesty is graciously
pleased further to strengthen and secure the same.

We find the Cherokee Nation has lately become very insolent to your
Majesty's Subjects trading among them, notwithstanding the many Fa-
vours which the Chiefs of that Nation received from your Majesty in Great
Britain, besides a considerable Expence which your Majesty's Subjects of
this Province have been at in making them Presents ; which inclines us
to believe, that the French, by their Indians, have been tampering with
them : We therefore beg Leave to inform your Majesty, that the build-
ing and mounting Bome Forts also among the Cherokees, and making
them Presents, will be highly necessary to keep them steady in their
Dirty to your Majesty, lest the French may prevail in seducing that
Nation, which they may the more readily be inclined to, from the Pros-
pect of getting considerable Plunder in Slaves, Cattle and Commodities,
which, they very well know they have among U6. Several other Forts
will be indispensably necessary, to be a Cover to your Majesty's Subjects
settled backwards in this Province, as also to those of the Colony of
Georgia, both which in Length are very extensive ; for tho' the Trustees
for establishing the Colony of Georgia, by a particular Scheme of good
Management, painfully conducted by the Gentleman engaged here in
that charitable Enterprize, have put that small Part of the Colony, which
he has not yet been able to establish, in a tenable Condition against the
Spaniards of Florida, which lie to the Southward, yet the back Exposi-
tion of those Colonies to the vast Number of French and Indians, which
border on the Westward, must, in case of a War, cry greatly aloud for
your Majesty's gracious and timely Succour. The Expense of our Safety
on such an Occasion, we must, in all Humility, acquaint your Majesty,
either of Men for Money, can never be effected by your Majesty's Sub-
jects of this Province, who, in Conjunction with Georgia, do not, in the
Whole amount to more than Three thousand Five hundred Men that
compose the Militia, and wholly consist of Planters, Traders, and other
Men in Business.

Besides the many Dangers, which, by Land, we are exposed to from
so many Enemies that lie on the Back of us, we further beg Leave to
represent to your Majesty the defenceless Condition of our Ports and
Harbours, where any Enemies of your Majesty's Dominions may very easily
by Sea invade us, there being no Fortifications capable of making much
Resistance. Those in Charles-Town Harbour are now in a very ruinous
Condition, occasioned by late violent Storms and Hurricanes, which
already cost this Country a great deal of Money, and now requires several

ThousaDd of Pounds to repair the old, and build new ones ; to mount the
Ordnance which your Majesty was graciously pleased to send us, which»
with great Concern, we must inform your Maje8ty,''we have not yet been
able to accomplish, being lately obliged, for the Defence and Support of
this your Majesty's Province and Government, to raise, by a Tax on the
Inbabitarits, a Supply of above Forty thousand Pounds Paper Currency
per Annum, whicti is a considerable deal more than a third Part of all
the Currency among us ; a Charge which your Majesty's Subjects of this
Province are but barely able to sustain. Since your Majesty's Boyal In-
struction to your Majesty's Governor here, and intire Stop has been put
to the Duties which before accrued from European Goods imported ; and
if a War should happen, or any thing extraordinary to be further ex^
pensive here, we should be under the utmost Difficulties to provide addi-
tionally for the same, lest an Increase of Taxes, with an Apprehension
of Danger, should drive away many of our present Inhabitants, as well
as discourage others from coming here to settle, for the Defence and Im-
provement of your Majesty's Province, there being several daily moving,
with their Families and Effects, to North Carolina, where there are no
such Fears and Burdens.

We must further beg Leave to inform your Majesty, That amidst our
other perilous Circumstances, we are subject to many intestine Dangers
from the great Number of Negroes that are now among us, who amount
at least to Twenty-two thousand Persons, and are Three to One of ail
your Majesty's White Subjects in tliis Province. Insurrections against
us have been often attempted, and would at any time prove very fatal,
if the French should instigate them, by artfully giving them an Expec-
tation of Freedom. In such a Situation, we most humbly crave leave
to acquaint your Majesty, that even the present ordinary Expences Neces-
sary for the Care and Support of this your Majesty's Province and Gov-
ernment cannot be provided for by your Majesty's Subjects of this Prov-
ince, without your Majesty's gracious Pleasure to continue those Laws
for Establishing the Negroes, and other Duties, for Seven Years, and
for appropriating the same, which now lie before your][Majesty for your
Royal Assent and Approbation ; and the further Expences that will be
requisite for the erecting some Forts, and establishing Garisons in the
several necessary Places, so as to form a Barrier, for ^the* Security of this
your Majesty's Province, we most humbly submit to your Majesty.

Your Majesty's Subjects of this Province, with Fulness of Zeal, Duty
and Affection to your most Gracious and Sacred Majesty, are so highly
sensible of the great Importance of this Province to theJFrench, that we
must conceive it more than probable, if a^War should happen, they will

COLONIAL RECORDS. 419

use all Endeavours to bring this Country under their Subjection : They
would thereby be able to supply their Sugar Islands with all Sorts of
Provisions and Lumber by an easy Navigation, which, to our great Advan-
tage, is now not so practicable from the present French Colonies ; besides
the Facility of gaining then to their Interest, most of the Indian Trade
on the Northern Continent, they might then easily unite the Canadees
and Choctaws with the many other Nations of Indians, which are now
in their Interest. And the several Ports and Harbours of Carolina and
Georgia, which now enable your Majesty to be absolute Master of the
Passage through the Gulph of Florida, and to impede at your Pleasure
the Transportation home of the Spanish Treasure, would then prove so
many convenient Harbours for your Majesty's Enemies, by their Priva-
teers or Ships of War, to annoy a great Part of the British Trade to
America, as well as that which is carried on through the Gulph from Ja-
maica, besides the Loss which Great Britain must feel in so considerable
a Part of its Navigation, as well as the Exports of Masts, Pitch, Tar and
Turpentine, which, without any Dependence on the Northern Powers of
Europe, are from hence plentifully supplied for the Use of the British
Shipping.

This is the present State and Condition of your Majesty's Province of
South Carolina, utterly incapable of finding Funds sufficient for the De-
fence of this wide Frontier, and so destitute of White Men, that even
Money itself cannot here raise a sufficient Body of them.

With all Humility we therefore beg Leave to lay ourselves at the Feet
of your Majesty, humbly imploring your Majesty's most Gracious Care
in the Extremities we should be reduced to on the breaking out of a War ;
and that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to extend your Protec-
tion to us, as your Majesty, in your great Wisdom, shall think most
proper.

To THE King's Most Excellent Majesty,

The humble Memorial of the Trustees for Establishing the Colony
of Georgia in America.

Humbly Shewdh^

That thej being instructed by your Majesty with the Care of the
Colony of Georgia, which was formerly Part of your Majesty's Province
of Carolina ; and your Majesty's Colony of Georgia being very much
exposed to the Power of the Spaniards, and become an Object of their
Envy, by having valuable Ports upon the homeward Passage from the
Spanish West Indies ; and the Spaniards having increased their Forces
in the Neighborhood thereof, the Trustees, in consequence of the great
Trust reposed in them by your Majesty, find themselves obliged humbly
to lay before your Majesty their Inability suflSciently to protect your
Majesty's Subjects settled in Georgia, under the Encouragement of your
Majesty's Charter, against this late Increase of Forces ; and therefore
become humble Suppliants to your Majesty, on the Behalf of your Sub-
jects settled in the Province of Georgia, That your Majesty will be
pleased to take their Preservation into your Boyal Consideration, that,
by a necessary Supply of Forces, the Province may be protected against
the great Dangers that seem immediately to threaten it.

All which is most humbly submitted to your Majesty's
great Wisdom.

that prevent the first, obstruct the latter ; for though the Situation of
this Place is exceedingly well adapted for Trade, and, if it was encour-
aged, might be much more improved by the Inhabitants, yet the Diffi-
culties and Restrictions which we hitherto have, and at present do labour
under, debar us from that Advantage. Timber is the only thing we
have here which we might export ; and notwithstanding we are obliged
to fall it in planting our Land, yet we cannot manufacture it fit for a
foreign Mariset, but at double the Expence of other Colonies ; as for
Instance, The River of May, which is but Twenty Miles from us, with
Allowance of Negroes, load Vessels with that Commodity, at One half
of the Price that we can do ; and what should induce Persons to bring
Ships here, when they can be loaded with one half of the Expence so
near us? Therefore the Timber on the Land is only a continual Charge
to the Possessors of it, though of very great Service iu all the Northern
Colonies, where Negroes are allowed, and consequently Labour cheap.
We do not in the least doubt, but that in time Silk and Wine may be
produced here, especially the former ; but since the Cultivation of Land
with White Servants only, cannot raise Provisons for our Families, as
before mentioned, therefore it is likewise impossible to carry on these
Manufactures according to the present Constitution. It is very well
known, that Carolina can raise every thing that this Colony can ; and
they having their Labour so much cheaper, will always ruin our Market,
unless we are in some measure on a Footing with them ; and as, in both,
the Land is worn out iu Four or Five Years, and then fit for nothing
but Pasture, we must be always at a great deal more Expence than they,
in clearing new Land for Planting. The Importation of Necessaries of
Life comes to us at the most extravagant Rate; Merchants in general,
especially of England, not being willing to supply the Settlers with
Goods upon Commission, because no Person here can make them any
Security of their Lands or Improvements, as is very often practised in
other Places to promote Trade, when some of the Employer's Money
is laid out in necessary Buildings and Improvements, fitting for the
Trade intended, without which it cannot be carried on. The Benefit
of the Importation therefore is all to transient Persons, who do not lay
out any Money amongst us, but, on the contrary, carry every Penny
out of the Place ; and the chief Reason for their enhancing the Price
is, because they cannot get any Goods here, either on Freight or Pur-
chase, for another Market. If the Advantages accruing from Importa-
tion centred in the Inhabitants, the Profit thereof would naturally circu-
late amongst us, and be laid out in Improvements in the Colony. Your
Honors, we imagine, are not insensible of the Numbers that have left

424 COLONIAL RECORDS.

this Province, not being able to support themselves and Families any
longer ; and those still remaining, who had Money of their own, and
Credit wi;h their Friends, have laid out most of the former in Inprove-
ments, and lost the latter doing it on such precarious Titles ; and upon
account of the present Establishment, not above Two or Three Persons,
except those brought on Charity, and Servants sent by you, have come
here, for the Space of Two Years past, cither to settle Land, or encour-
age Trade ; neither do we hear of any such likely to come, until we are
on better Terms.

It is true, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant a Regiment
for the Defence of this Province, and our neighboring Colony, which
indeed will very much assist us in defending ourselves against all Enemies
then; but, otherwise, does not in the least contribute to our Support; for all
that Part of their Pay which is expended here, is laid out with transient
People, and our Neighbors in Carolina, who are capable to supply them
with Provisions, and other Nece^aries, at a moderate Price, which we,
as before observed, are not at all capable to do, upon the present Estab-
lishment. This then being our present Condition, it is obvious what the
Consequences must be.

But we, for our Parts, have entirely relied on, and confided in, your
good InteDtioDS, believing you would redress any Grievances that should
appear; and now, by our long Experience from Industry, and continual
Application to Improvement of Land here, do find it impossible to pur-
sue it, or even to subsist ourselves any longer, according to the present
Nature of the Constitution : And likewise believing you will agree to
those Measures that are found from Experience capable to make thisColony
succeed, and to promote which, we have consumed ourMouey, Time and
Labour ; we do, from a sincere and true Regard to its Welfare, and in
Duty both to you and ourselves, beg Leave to lay before your immediate
Consideration, the Two following chief .Causes of these our present Mis-
fortunes, and this deplorable State of the Colony, and which we are
certain, if granted, would be an infallible Remedy for both.

I. The Want of a free Title or Fee-simple to our Lands ; which, if
granted, would both occasion great Numbers of new Settlers to come
amongst us, and likewise encourage those who remain here, chearfully to
proceed in making further Improvements, as well to retrieve their sunk
Fortunes, as to make Provision for their Posterity.

II. The Want of the Use of Negroes with proper Limitations ; which
if granted, would both induce great Numbers of White People to come
here, and also render us capable to subsist ourselves by raising ProviBiona
upon our Lands, until we could make some Produce fit for Export, and

COLONIAL RECORDS.

425

in Bome measure to balance our Importation, We are very sensible of
tbe Inconveniencies and Mischiefs that have already, and do daily arise,
from an unlimited Use of Negroes ; but we are as sensible, that these
may be prevented by a due Limitation, such as so many to each White
Man, or so many to such a Quantity of Land ; or in any other manner
which your Honours shall think most proper. By granting us, Gentle-
men, the.ee two Particulars, and such other Privileges an his Majesty's
most dutiful Subjects in America enjoy, you will not only prevent our
impending Ruin, but, we are fully satisfied also, will soon make this the
most flourishing Colony possessed by his Majesty in America, and your
Memories will be perpetuated to all future Ages, our latest Posterity
sounding your Praises, as their first Founders, Patrons and Guardians ;
but if by denying us those Privileges, we ourselves and Families are not
only ruined, but even our Posterity likewise, you will always be men-
tioned as the Cause and Authors of all their Misfortunes and Calamities ;
which we hope will never happen.

NUMBER IX.

We are informed, that our Neighbors of Savannah have petitioned
your Excellency for the Liberty of having Slaves. We hope, and
earnestly entreat, that before such Proposals are hearkened unto, your
Excellency will consider our Situation, and of what dangerous and bad
Consequence such Liberty would be of to us, for many Seasons ;

I. The Nearness of the Spaniard, who have proclaimed Freedom to
all Slaves who run away from their Masters, makes it impossible for us
to keep them without more Labour in guarding them, that what we
would be at to do their Work.

II. We are laborious, and know that a White Man may be by the
Year more usefully employed than a Negro.

III. We are not rich, and becoming Debtors for Slaves, in case of
their running away or dying, would inevitably ruin the poor Master, and
he become a greater Slave to the Negro Merchant, than the Slave he
bought could be to him.

IV. It would oblige us to keep a Guard-duty at least as severe as
when: we expected a daily Invasion ; and if that was the Case, how
miserable would it be to us, and our Wives and Families, to have an
Enemy without, and more dangerous ones in our Bosom I

V. It's shocking to human Nature, that any Race of Mankind, and
their Posterity, should be sentenced to perpetual Slavery ; nor in Justice
can we think otherwise of it, than they are thrown amongst us tg be our
Scourge one Day or another for our Sins ; and as Freedom to them must
be as dear as to us, what a Scene of Horror must it bring about ! And
the longer it is unexecuted, the bloody Scene must be the greater. We
therefore, for our own sakes, our Wives and Children, and our Posterity,
beg your Consideration, and intreat, that instead of introducing Slaves,
you'll put us in the way to get us some of our Countrymen, who with
their Labour in time of Peace, and our Vigilance, if we are invaded*
with the Help of those, will render it a difficult thing to hurt us, or that
Part of the Province we possess. We will for ever pray for your Excel-
lency, and are, with all Submission,

Ebenezer, 13th of March 1739.

We, Saltzburghers and Inhabitants of Ebenezer, that have signed this
Letter, intreat humbly, in our and our Brethrens Names, your Excellency
would be pleased to shew us the Favor of desiring the honorable Trus-
tees for sending to Georgia another Transport of Saltzburghers to be set-
tled at Ebenezer. We have, with one Accord, wrote a Letter to our
Father in God, the Reverend Mr. Senior Urlsperger, at Augspurg, and
in that Letter expressly named those Saltzburghers and Austrians, whom,
as our Friends, Relations and Countrymen, we wish to see settled here.
We can, mdeed, attest of them, that they fear the Lord truly, love
Working, and will conform themselves to our Congregation : We have
given them an Account of our being settled well ; and being mighty well
pleased with the Climate and Condition of this Country, having here
several Preferences in spiritual and temporal Circumstances, for other
People in Germany, which your Honour will find in the here inclosed
Copy of our Letter to Mr. Senior Urlsperger ; if they fare as we do,
having been provided in the Beginning with Provisions, a little Stock
of Breed, some Tools, and good Land, by the Care of the honourable
Trustees ; and if God grants his Blessing to their Work, we doubt not,
but they will gain with us easily their Bread and Subsistance, and lead
a quiet and peaceable Life, in all Godliness and Honesty. Though it is
here a hotter Season than our native Country is, yet not so extreamely
hot, as we were told on the first time of our Arrival ; but since we have
been now used to the Country, we find it tolerable, and, for working Peo-
ple, very convenient ; setting themselves to work early in the Morning,
till Ten o'Clock; and in the Afternoon, from Three to Sun-set; and
having Business at Home, we do them in our Huts and Houses, in the
Middle of the Day, till the greatest Heat is over. People in Germany
are hindered by Frost and Snow in the Winter, from doing any Work

COLONIAL RECORDS. 429

in the Fields and Vineyards ; but we have this Preference, to do the
most and heaviest Work at such a time, preparing the Ground sufficiently
for planting in the Spring : We were told by several People, after our
Arrival, that it proves quite impossible and dangerous for White People
to plant and manufacture any Rice, being a Work only for Negroes, not for
European People ; but having Experience of the contrary, we laugh at
such a Talking, seeing that several People of us have had, in the last
Harvest, a greater Crop of Rice than they wanted for their own Con-
sumption. If God is pleased to enable us by some Money for building
such Mills, convenient ior cleaning the Rice, as we use in Germany, for
making several Grains, fit for eating, then the Manufacture of Rice will be
an easy and profitable thing. For the present, we crave your Excellency's
Goodness to allow, for the Use of the whole Congregation, some Rice
Sieves, of several Sorts, from Charles-Town, which cannot be had at Sa-
vannah : We will be accountable to the Store for them. Of Com,
Pease, Potatoes, Pomkins, Cabbage &c. we had such a good Quantity,
that many Bushels are sold, and much was spent in feeding Cows, Calves
and Hogs. . If the Surveyor, according to his Order and Duty, had used
Dispatch in laying out our Farms, (which we have got not sooner than
last Fall) item, if not, we all were disappointed by long Sickness, and
planting the yellow Peusilvania Corn ; we would have been able, by the
Blessing of God, to spare a greater Quantity of Grain for getting Meat-
kind and Cloaths, of which we are in Want. It is true, that Two Acres
of Ground, for each Family's Garden, are set some time ago ; but being
there very few Swamps fit for planting of Rice, and some Part of them
wanting a good deal of Dung, we were not able, in the Beginning, to
dung it well ; therefore we could not make such a good Use of those
Acres, as we now have Reason to hope, by the Assistance of God, after
our Plantations are laid out : Hence it will be, that we plant the good
Ground first, improve the other Soil :then, when Occasion will require
it, in the best manner we can. In the first Time, when the Ground must
be cleared from Trees, Bushes and Roots, and fenced in carefully, we
are to undergo some hard Labour, which afterwards will be the easier
and more pleasing, when the hardest Trial is over, and our Plantations
are better regulated. A good deal of Time was spent in building Huts,
Houses, and other necessary Buildings, in Town, and upon the Farms ;
and since, we wanted Money for several Expences ; several Persons of us
hired themselves out for some Weeks for building the Orphan-house, and
its Appurtenances ; item. The Reverend Mr. Gronau's House, which hap-
pened to be built in the hottest Summer Season ; and now some of us are
employed to build the Reverend Mr. Bolzius's House ; which Buildings

have taken away some time from our Work in the Ground ; but the fair
Opportunity of earning some Money at Home, was a great Benefit to
us ; this now being so, that neither the hot Summer Season, nor any
thing else, hinders us from Work in the Ground, and we wish to lead a
quiet and peaceable Life at our Place. We humbly beseech the honour-
able Trustees not to allow it, that any Negro might be brought to our
Place, or in our Neighborhood, knowing by Experience, that Houses and
Gardens will be robbed always by them, and White People are in Danger
of Life because of them, besides other great Inconveniences. Likewise we
humbly beseech you and the Trustees not to allow to any Person the Liberty
of buying up Lands at our Place, by which, if granted, it would hap-
pen, that by bad and turbulent Neighbours our Congregation would be
spoilt, and poor harmless People troubled and oppressed : But we wish
and long for such Neighbours to be settled here, whose Good-name and
honest Behaviour is known to us and our Favourers. The Honourable
Trustees have been always Favourers and Protectors of poor and dis-
tressed People ; wherefore we beseech you and them, they would be
pleased to take us further under their fatherly Care, that the Remem-
brance of their Benevolence and Kinduess to our Congregation might
be conveyed to our late Posterity, and be highly praised. We put up our
Prayers to God for rewarding your Excellency, and the Honorable Trus-
tees, manifold for all their good Assistance and Benefits, which are be-
stowed upon us, and beg humbly the Continuance of your and their
Favour and Protection, being, with the greatest Submission and Respect,

Your Honours

Most Obedient Dutiful Servants,

Inhabitants at Ebenezer.
