201 General Stewart?s actions were recognized by both state and national governments. Fort Stewart (the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River, primarily located in Liberty and Bryan Counties) and Stewart County (on the Chattahoochee River south of Columbus) were both named in his honor. On April 26, 1915, the U.S. Congress erected a memorial shaft to Brigadier Generals Daniel Stewart and James Screven in the Midway Cemetery. President Theodore Roosevelt arranged for one thousand Army Infantry to participate in the dedication ceremony for his great-grandfather, General Daniel Stewart. Part of the inscription on the Screven-Stewart Monument is as follows: 1761 ? 1829 Sacred to the Memory of Brigadier General Daniel Stewart A gallant soldier in the Revolution and an Officer Brevetted for bravery in the Indian Wars Stewart, Daniel (I286)

204 George Walton was one of three Georgians to sign the Declaration of Independence. He served in numerous capacities for the state of Georgia after the American Revolution (1775-83). The exact year of Walton's birth is unknown; it is believed that he was born in 1749 in Virginia. In 1769, he moved to Savannah, where he pursued a legal career. By the eve of the American Revolution he was one of the most successful lawyers in Georgia. Active in Georgia's Revolutionary government, he was elected to the Provincial Congress and then became president of the Council of Safety in 1775. In 1776 he served as a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, where in August he signed the Declaration (along with Button Gwinnett and Lyman Hall of Georgia). Returning to Savannah, Walton was captured during the 1778 British assault on the city, led by Archibald Campbell. After his exchange, he returned to Georgia and was elected governor in 1779, having switched allegiances from the conservative to the radical faction. He served for two controversial months before reelection to Congress. After the Revolution Walton served as chief justice of Georgia, as a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1788 that ratified the new federal constitution, as a presidential elector in 1789, as governor that same year, as U.S. senator (appointed by the legislature when James Jackson stepped down to fight the Yazoo Land Act), and as a justice of the state superior court. He eventually retired in the 1780s to his Augusta home, where he died on February 2, 1804. Walton is buried in Augusta. Walton County is named for him.  Walton, George (I294)
