FEW, William
Col. William Few, aged 81 years, died 16 July at Fishkill, N. Y., the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Chrystie. Born in Maryland, in 1748, he was an inhabitant of Georgia when the Revolution commenced. In 1776 he was elected a member of the Convention which formed the first Constitution of that State. He was afterwards a member of the Legislature and Executive Council. But the dangers of the times soon called him to the field. Georgia, invaded by the British on the sea border and by their savage allies on the Western frontier, was preserved by the unsubdued spirit of a few militia. Amongst these, William Few, who was soon raised to the rank of Lt. Col., distinguished himself by his bravery and activity in several actions with the British and Indians. Augusta having been recovered and the savages repulsed, he was, in the year 1780, appointed a delegate to Congress, where he continued until the peace of 1783. He was reappointed in 1786 and in 1787 was chosen a member of the convention which formed the constitution of the United States for Georgia from 1789 to 1793, and having married in the city of New York, moved there, where he spent 30 years. He represented the city several years in the Legislature of the State till he was appointed by Mr. Jefferson Commissioner of Loans. (23 July) [1828]
