| Notes |
- 1768-69 migrated to GA. After the war, he built and operated a tavern in Washington, GA, the "George Washington Tavern". He was one of the commissioners who laid out the town of Washington in 1783 and who authorized the establishment and construction of the Wilkes Academy in 1797, the first public school chartered in GA. All of his sons who grew to manhood became lawyers and all of his daughters, save one, married lawyers. Grandsons became governors and US Supreme Court Justices. War woundns and the efforts of rebuilding his plantation took toll on his health and he died in 1796.
