Lachlan McIntosh papers Descriptive Summary Repository: Georgia Historical Society Creator: McIntosh, Lachlan, 1725-1806. Title: Lachlan McIntosh papers Dates: 1742-1799 Extent: 0.35 cubic feet (10 folders) Identification: MS 0526 Biographical/Historical Note Lachlan McIntosh (1727-1806) was born in Scotland, the son of John Mohr and Marjory (Fraser) McIntosh. He and his family came to Savannah in 1736 with Oglethorpe and settled in Darien, Georgia. In 1748, he moved to Charleston, SC, where he worked as a clerk in a counting house and lived with Henry Laurens. He later became a successful planted on the Altamaha River. At the outbreak of the American Revolution, he was appointed Colonel of the 1st Regiment, Georgia line, and was soon promoted to Brigadier-General in the Continental Army. McIntosh dueled with Button Gwinnett in 1777, fatally wounding his opponent. He served for a short while in the Western Department, and he returned to Georgia to lead the unsuccessful attempt to recapture Savannah. He was taken prisoner at the fall of Charleston and, after his exchange, he served until the end of the war, attaining the rank of Major-General. He returned to Georgia and resumed planting. McIntosh married Sarah Threadcraft; together, they had eight children: John, Lachlan Jr., William (who married a Mrs. Tate), George, Henry Laurens, Hester (who married 1. John Peter Ward and 2. Dr. Nicholas Byard), and Catherine (who married Charles Harris). Both William and Lachlan, Jr., served in the Revolutionary War (John was in the Bahamas at the time). McIntosh became a member of the Society of the Cincinnati in 1784; the same year, he was elected to Congress.

  • Roots and Routes

    Roots and Routes

    1 ROOTS AND ROUTES The journey embarked upon by Black Loyalists destined for the Baha- mas was not marked by a rupture from their past experiences in colonial America, but rather reflected a continuity shaped by conditions of en- slavement and their entry into a British colony as persons of color. Like West African victims of the transatlantic slave trade, Black Loyalists arriv- ing in the Bahamas did not come as a tabula rasa, but rather brought with them various ideas aboutproof religion, land, politics, and even freedom. Thus, upon arrival in the Bahamas the lessons of the Revolutionary War were appropriated and reinterpreted by Black Loyalist men and women in a va- riety of ways, often with varying consequences. Such complex transmuta- tions within the Bahamas invite an analytical approach that examines the roots of such thought as it emerged out of the social and political world of colonial British North America. A brief examination of leading Black Loyalists in the Bahamas demon- strates that the world they lived in was indelibly shaped by the world they left behind. Prince Williams’ remarkable story began in colonial Georgia where he was born free, but was later “cheated out of his freedom and sold to an American.”1 Although his slave owner is never mentioned by name, Williams’ account reveals that he was forced to serve “this man” when “the British troops came to Georgia.” Taking advantage of the chaos of the American Revolution, Williams, in an act of self-assertion, escaped to the British side in order to claim freedom as a Black Loyalist.

Archeolo.qist, FLorida State Board of Parks awd Historic Memorials Fort Tonyn, a small British fort during the American Revolution, is ‘believed by some to have been located on Amelia Island at the site now occupied by Fort Clinch. The probable reason for this tradition is the fact that it is so located on a map prepared by-W. 0. F. Wallace, Esq., and included by Burton Barrs in his East Florida iru the Americavt Revolu;tios.l No substantiating evidence for this location is given by Barrs and it may be stated cate- gorically that Wallace’s map is incorrect in this respect. Named for the last British governor of East Florida, Fort Tonyn was, apparently, never recognized as a fort by the British.

    Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 43 March 1960 Number 1 A REVOLUTIONARY JOURNAL AND ORDERLY BOOK OF GENERAL LACHLAN McINTOSH'S EXPEDITION, 1778 Edited by Edward G. Williams Introduction is continuing romantic sentiment in bringing to public * view old manuscript accounts of the personal experiences of Therethose who participated in the early struggles of this history- rich tri-state area. The Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine recently published an orderly book, a journal, and two maps that all fitted together to identify most of the route and camping sites of Colonel Bouquet's march against the Ohio Indian towns in 1764. 1 Now we find, as always in historical study, that events and facts are interwoven and correlated in surprising ways. We are reminded that the Great Trail, that "Indian thorofare" of the forest, which Bouquet opened up as a road for his small army, was retraced, 2 worn deeper, and further hallowed by the fatigue and Mr. Williams, a graduate of Bucknell University and a member of this Society, is well-known to the readers of The Western Pennsylvania His- torical Magazine through the editing of the Bouquet Orderly Book of the 1 764 expedition into Ohio. He has also written a history of Ross Township published on the occasion of its sesqui-centennial. —Ed. 1 "The Orderly Book of Colonel Henry Bouquet's Expedition Against the Ohio Indians, 1764."
