• Notes

  served under George Washington in the French and Indian War, first as ensign, later as Lieutenant, being mentioned as participating in the 1754 expedition to capture Fort Dequesne, now Pittsburg. He furnished supplies during the revolutionary war. His home was of Colonial architecture, two stories with lofty columns and an overhanging porch. A hall ran through the house as was customary in those days with rooms on each side. The mantles were handmade and beautifully carved. The brick was imported from England. There was a staircase built into the wall for entrance to the second floor. It is thought that at one time thre was a door to the staicase that could be locked so that the persons upstairs could be protected from the marauding Indians and invaders. left a will in Oglethorpe Co, GA I, Vines Collier, of the County of Oglethorpe and State of Georgia, being of sound and perfect sense and memory and calling to mind it is appointed for man to die.
