125	Button Gwinnett was one of three Georgia signers of the Declaration of Independence. He served in Georgia's colonial legislature, in the Second Continental Congress, and as president of Georgia's Revolutionary Council of Safety. Gwinnett was born in April 1735 in Gloucestershire, England, the son of Anne and the Reverend Samuel Gwinnett. He married Ann Bourne in 1757, and they had three children?Amelia, Ann, and Elizabeth Ann. Gwinnett arrived in Savannah in 1765 and became a merchant. After this venture failed, he purchased St. Catherine?s Island and set himself up as a planter. He became active in local politics, winning election to the Commons House of Assembly in 1769. By 1773 Gwinnett was again in financial straits; he sold most of his personal property and possessions and withdrew from the political scene. The Revolutionary crisis brought him back into politics. Gwinnett rallied the opponents of the Christ Church Parish?led Whig Party, which until that time had dominated the leadership in the emerging dispute with the British crown. He succeeded in uniting coastal and rural dissidents into a loose coalition that demonstrated its strength by electing Gwinnett commander of Georgia's Continental battalion when the state's Provincial Congress met in early 1776. When his election proved controversial, Gwinnett stepped aside and accepted instead an appointment to the Continental Congress, then meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lachlan McIntosh commanded the battalion in Gwinnett's stead, and these two would become bitter enemies. In Philadelphia, Gwinnett served on a number of committees and supported separation from England. He voted for independence in July, signed the Declaration of Independence in August (along with other Georgians George Walton and Lyman Hall), and soon afterward returned to Georgia, where he became embroiled in political controversy. Disappointed in his military ambitions, Gwinnett continued to lead the opposition to the Christ Church Parish coalition, and when his followers gained control of Georgia's Provincial Congress, they succeeded in electing him Speaker. He played a key role in the passage of the GA Constitution of 1777 and began to purge the military of officers whom he and his followers deemed less than zealous in their enthusiasm for the Whig cause. This brought him into conflict with Lachlan McIntosh. After the death of Georgia's president and commander-in-chief, Archibald Bulloch, in February 1777, the Council of Safety appointed Gwinnett to succeed him. Gwinnett proposed a military foray into British East Florida, a defensive measure that he argued would secure Georgia's southern border. McIntosh and his brother George (who had opposed Gwinnett's election as president and subsequently had been arrested for treason) condemned the scheme as politically motivated. The expedition failed, and though he was not elected governor when the new legislature met in the spring of 1777, Gwinnett was exonerated of any misconduct in carrying out the campaign. McIntosh was furious. He publicly denounced Gwinnett in the harshest terms, and Gwinnett challenged him to a duel. Though each man shot the other, only Gwinnett's wound proved fatal. He died on May 19, 1777, and was buried in Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery, though the exact location of his grave is unknown. Gwinnett County was named for him when it was established in 1818. Gwinnett's signature is one of the rarest and most valuable of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. (Georgia historian Charles C. Jones Jr. collected an entire set of autographs by the signers of the Declaration, including Gwinnett's holograph will.) In 1979 a letter signed by Gwinnett brought $100,000 at a New York auction. In 2012 a document bearing Gwinnett's signature was valued between $700,000 and $800,000.	Gwinnett, Button (I292)

145	Daniel Marshall, a Baptist pastor and itinerant preacher, is generally considered the first great Baptist leader in Georgia. He founded Kiokee Baptist Church, the oldest continuing Baptist congregation in the state. Born in Windsor, Connecticut, on August 24, 1706, Marshall had no formal education. He began his career as a farmer and served for twenty years as a deacon in the First Church in Windsor, one of the nation's oldest Congregational churches. In 1742 he married Hannah Drake, and they had one child, Daniel Jr. Coming under the influence of the revivalist George Whitefield around 1745, Marshall became a Separate Congregationalist, a group considerably more evangelistic and charismatic than the establishment Standing Order Congregationalist churches of Connecticut. As a layman he preached in New York and Pennsylvania for about three years. During this time his first wife died, and in 1747 he married Martha Stearns, the sister of an evangelical preacher. Together they had ten children: Abraham, John, Zaccheus, Levi, Moses, Solomon, Joseph, Eunice, Mary, and Benjamin. Marshall's wife later became a preacher in her own right, although she was never ordained. From 1754 to 1771 Marshall ministered in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, becoming an ordained Separate Baptist leader second in influence only to Shubal Stearns, his brother-in-law. During these years Marshall was a revivalistic and emotional farmer-preacher who influenced at least fourteen men to enter the ministry and assisted in founding at least eighteen Separate Baptist churches and two district associations. Marshall moved to a portion of Richmond County, Georgia which is now Columbia County, in 1771, and soon thereafter he organized the Kiokee Church, probably about three and a half miles east of the town of Appling. As the Baptist patriarch in the area, he was a mentor to at least sixteen younger preachers. During the Revolutionary War (1775-83) Marshall was an American patriot; after the war he and others fought for legislation favoring religious liberty. Just before his death he acted as moderator of the Georgia Baptist Association, founded in 1784 at Kiokee Church. Of the 104 known Baptist churches organized in Georgia during the eighteenth century, a large number of them trace their origins to Marshall or to one of his junior colleagues. Marshall died in Upper Richmond County (now Columbia County) on November 2, 1784. He was succeeded as pastor of Kiokee by his son Abraham and later by a grandson, Jabez. Thus he founded a sixty-one-year ministerial dynasty, an occurrence rare in Baptist circles. He apparently owned at least 400 acres of land in Georgia (but no slaves) and left an estate "of considerable value." To his contemporaries Marshall was a man of holy zeal, meekness, and patience, but his gifts, in the words of his son Abraham, "were by no means above mediocrity." One honest friend, Morgan Edwards, described him as "a weak man, a stammerer, and no scholar," and admitted that Marshall's success was "surprising when we consider that he is a man of no bright parts, nor eloquence nor learning. Piety, earnestness and honesty are all he can boast of." The Marshall Historical Site, near Appling, was dedicated in 1984. Sources: 1.
