PATRIOTS OUTLAWED BY THE TORY GOVERNMENT


the manufactured silk that she ordered it to be made into a costume, in which she appeared at court on her birthday." Ibid., page 190. For the information of those who wish to pursue the subject further, the follow- ing references are given : History of Georgia, by Charles C. Jones, Jr., Vol. I, pp. 97, 190, 272, 371-374, 433-435, 532, Boston, 1883. There are also fair accounts of the industry in the histories by Stevens and McCall. While the Trustees excluded rum from the colony, they en- couraged the manufacture of wine; but this, too, declined. Failure in both cases was probably due to the protracted wars with the Spaniards, to the rules of the Trustees gov- erning slavery and land tenure in the colony, and to the fact that other products like rice, cotton and indigo of- fered larger immediate profits.


Georgia Patriots Outlawed by the Tory Government


On July 6, 1780, soon after the fall of Savannah, an Act was passed by the Tory Legislature and signed by the Royal Governor, James Wright, condemning the "wicked and unprovoked rebellion" against his Majesty in the Province of Georgia, and disqualifying certain parties mentioned therein. At the same time full am- nesty was offered to all who should hasten to enroll them- selves under the royal banners, by taking the oath of allegiance to the House of Brunswick. The outlook was dark for the patriotic cause, but even in this despondent hour there were few to desert the colors. The following civilians and soldiers were by name declared to be spe- cially obnoxious to the crown of England. The list is now Georgia's cherished Roll of Honor :

Earliest Political Subdivisions


Deeming it conducive to the convenience of the inhab- itants and promotive of good government, the Trustees, on April 15, 1741, divided the Province of Georgia into two counties-Savannah and Frederica. The former in- cluded all settlements upon the Savannah River and upon both banks of the Great Ogeechee River, and such addi- tional territory south of the latter stream as should be designated when a proper map of the country could be prepared. Within the latter were embraced Darien, Frederica and the entire region lying south of the Alta- maha River.2


Parishes


Perhaps the most important Act passed by the pro- vincial legislature during the administration of Governor Ellis, the second Royal Governor of Georgia, was one dividing the several districts of the province into par- ishes, providing for the establishment of religious wor- ship according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England, and for other purposes. This Act was ap- proved March 15, 1758, and by it the Province of Georgia was erected into eight parishes, to wit:


THE PARISH OF CHRIST CHURCH, which included the town and district of Savannah, together with adjacent islands.


THE PARISH OF ST. MATTHEW, embracing the district of Ebenezer, to- gether with Abercorn and Goshen.

THE PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, which was created from the district of Halifax, embracing an area of which the site of the present town of Waynesboro was the center.


THE PARISH OF ST. PAUL, which included the district of Augusta.


THE PARISH OF ST. PHILIP, embracing the town of Hardwick and the district of Ogeechee, together with Ossabaw Island.


THE PARISH OF ST. JOHN, which included the Sunbury and Midway set- tlements, together with St. Catharine and Bermuda Islands.


THE PARISH OF ST. ANDREW, which embraced the town and district of Darien, south of the Altamaha, including Sapelo and adjacent islands.


THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES, which embraced the town and district of Frederica, including Great and Little St. Simon and adjacent islands.


In accordance with the provisions of an Act dated March 25, 1765, the newly acquired territory between the Altamaha and the St. Mary was divided into four parishes, to wit:


THE PARISH OF ST. DAVID, embracing a tract of land between the Alta- maha and the north branch of Turtle River.


THE PARISH OF ST. PATRICK, embracing an area between the north branch of Turtle River and the south branch of the Little Satilla.


THE PARISH OF ST. THOMAS, extending from the south branch of the Little Satilla to the South Branch, of the Great Satilla.


THE PARISH OF ST. MARY, which included an area between the south branch of the Great Satilla and the south branch of the St. Mary, together with the sea islands embraced within these limits.
