Excerpt from The Revolutionary Records of the State of Georgia, Vol. 1: Introductory Remarks, Miscellaneous Papers, Council of Safety, Provincial Congress, Constitution of 1777, Confiscation and Banishment, Sales of Confiscated Estates, 1769 to 1782; Compiled and Published Under Authority of the Legislature Several causes conspired to bring about this ever to be regretted loss of important records and documents. First of all, when, in December, 1778, Savannah, the seat of government, was captured by the British, all the records of the state made prior to that time were also captured and either carried away or destroyed, except a few relating to the Office of the Secretary of State, which were saved only by the vigilance of the incum bent of the office, John Milton, who, disregarding the orders of Governor Houstoun, conveyed his records first to Charleston and then, when that city was threat ened, to Newbern, North Carolina, and, finally, when that state was invaded by the enemy, to Annapolis, where they remained till after the close of the war.

Excerpt from The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia, Vol. 1 The compilation of the Colonial and Revolutionary records of Georgia has been attended with unusual difficulties. These difficulties were due to the loss or destruction of many of the most important documents and record-books pertaining to those two periods of the history of the State. When Savannah fell into the hands of the British in December, 1778, the Secretary of State, Captain John Milton, by order of Gov cruor Houstoun, conveyed the most important records of his office and that of the Governor to Charleston to prevent their capture by the enemy; but the older records, pertaining to the early Colonial period, and many of those relating to the period of the Royal Governors, were left behind and lost. Georgia's earliest historian, Captain Hugh mccall, who wrote about the beginning of the last century, in speaking of the records saved by Captain Milton says: These records, principally belonging to the office of Secretary of State, were almost the only public papers of Georgia which were preserved. Of those thus saved at that time many were doubtless subsequently lost in their frequent removals from place to place in the efl'ort to save them from capture; and many of those still in exis tence are in a mutilated and fragmentary condition. Prior to the fall of Charleston, in May, 1780, Secretary Milton again removed his records, this time overland in wagons from Charleston to Newbern, North Caro lina, where he left them in the care of Governor Nash of that State, and returned to the army. Later on, when Georgia and South Carolina had been entirely overrun by the British and Tories. And North Carolina was invaded, and the Georgia records were again in danger of capture, Cap tain Milton got leave of absence from his command and carried them to Maryland, where they remained until after the close of the war, when they were brought back to Georgia. Thus were saved through the War of the Revolution most of the papers and documents pertaining to the office of Secretary of State, and a part, and only a part, of those belong ing to the office of the Governor.

The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia document the colony through its first twenty-five years and includes correspondence between Georgia founder James Oglethorpe and the Trustees for Establishing the Colony, as well as records pertaining to land grants; agreements and interactions with Indigenous peoples; the settlement of a small Jewish community and the Salzburgers, German-speaking Protestant refugees; and the removal of restrictions on land tenure, rum, and slavery in the colony. Most of the local records of colonial Georgia were destroyed during the Revolution. Under Governor James Wright’s direction, merchant John Graham loaded much of the official records on his vessel in the Savannah River. During the Battle of the Rice Boats in March 1776, the Inverness was burned while it lay at anchor. The destructive civil war that occurred in the latter phases of the Revolution resulted in further destruction. The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia, drawn from archival material in Great Britain, remain a unique source. Volume 27, spanning the years 1754–56, contains the papers of Georgia’s first governor, John Reynolds, as well as the correspondence of various inhabitants.
