The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia document the colony
through its first twenty-five years and includes correspondence
between Georgia founder James Oglethorpe and the Trustees for
Establishing the Colony, as well as records pertaining to land
grants; agreements and interactions with indigenous peoples; the
settlement of a small Jewish community and the Salzburgers,
German-speaking Protestant refugees; and the removal on
restrictions of land tenure, rum, and slavery in the colony. Most
of the local records of colonial Georgia were destroyed during the
Revolution. Under Governor James Wright's direction, merchant John
Graham loaded much of the official records on his vessel in the
Savannah River. During the Battle of the Rice Boats in March 1776,
the Inverness was burned while it lay at anchor. The destructive
civil war that occurred in the latter phases of the Revolution
resulted in further destruction. The Colonial Records of the State
of Georgia, drawn from archival material in Great Britain, remain a
unique source. Volume 20 concerns the actual founding of Georgia
and covers the years 1732-35. It provides background on the
settlement and a great deal about the arrival of the colonists and
the conditions that they found.
