    1. Georgia Revolutionary War Loyalists (1783)

    3. Good Morning, I thought this list, posted recently in the GA Military archives is very, very interesting. Included in this list is Phillip DELL, the father of Sarah DELL who married Enoch DANIEL. Not only was their property confiscated but they were banished from the confines of GA. This act was passed by the GA House on 15 July 1783 in Savannah. The name, Benjamin BRANTLEY also caught my attention but I have not had a chance to go all through the list to check each name against my records for some of these folks. One must remember two things about any Tory. One, they generally had money and were trying to protect what they had and two, there were a lot of name changes after this war as they sought to hide their Tory past. This may well be some indication why it has been so hard for some of us to find our DANIEL ancestors because they folks were hiding their tracks or getting out of Dodge in a rather hurry because the victorious Rebels were in no mood to coddle these folks, one bit..... I know some of these McDONALDS went to Canada on land given to them by the Crown to replace land they lost in the colonies. That John MAXWELL has to be out of the MAXWELL family of Liberty County, GA and the POLHILLS were of Savannah, later Richmond and Burke County, GA so some of them stayed around Georgia. I also wonder if that John PROCTOR was the father of Hannah PROCTOR born 1778 who married Gen. John SCREVEN, Jr. (1777-1830). This may be the reason we can find nothing on her father. Their daughter, Martha Eleanor SCREVEN, married William Coffee DANIEL. All of these folks were Savannah folks and that was a hot bed of Tory support during the RW. I also noted a GRAHAM and MARTIN marriage in Liberty County, GA in this same time frame and their son, Angus MARTIN married Margaret Taylor DANIEL, son of Abraham DANIEL and Jane MOORE of Liberty County, GA, d/o a Samuel MOORE, which is a name also on this list. Interesting, very interesting.. These MARTIN and GRAHAM families were recently from England and Scotland, so their support for the Crown would have been normal. A lot of these folks also bailed out to FL, as well as other surrounding states, in the years following the close of the RW, which may be why we later see some of our DANIEL folks, there, too. I will bet there are lots of their descendants in the DAR, too. <grin> <<<< Sir J.Wright C.W.Mackinea Robert French Bart Alexan. Rose Will. Balfour John Graham C.Wright sen Isaac Downing Alex.
