    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Eo.2ADEAE/424.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for posting this site for me. I will review it and compare info of what I already have. I have been studying the time period of his death, although curious why they show he died in 1780 when it was actually 1779 per Sav GA Newspaper Clippings,(Ga. Gazette) Vol II, page 182. With Savannah taken over by the British in earlier it must have been tough times living there. Who knows he may have been killed by the Sons of Liberty group dressed as Indians, as the Masons did on the night of the Boston Tea Party. I continue to try to find more information about him and the social history of this period. Thanks again. Charles
