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.
