FEW, WILLIAM
FEW, COL. WILLIAM,
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.
