From wikipedia: Samuel Elbert (1740 - November 1, 1788) was an American merchant, soldier, and politician from Savannah, Georgia. Elbert fought in the Revolutionary War, commanding the victorious American colonial forces in a naval battle near St. Simons Island, Georgia on April 19, 1778. He was wounded and captured at the Battle of Brier Creek the following year, though he regained his freedom in a prisoner exchange. He rose to the rank of major general in the Georgia militia and colonel in the Continental Army. He was brevetted a brigadier general after the end of the war. In 1784, he was elected to the United States Congress, but declined to serve because he did not consider himself physically fit for the task. He did later serve a term as the Governor of Georgia. Derenne 859.

Ms. Elbert asks Seaborn Jones to "Deliver to Mr. Robert Walton, on order, his bond and that of Mr. William Walton, given to my late husband, and also the title deed to the said William Walton from the deceased, in your hands as an attorney at law." Below her signature, William Walton writes, "Rcd from Seaborn Jones, a deed from M.

As Governor of Georgia he signed the charter for the University of Georgia and also founded the Society of the Cincinnati in Georgia. Charles C. Jones, Jr. of Augusta, Georgia was a Confederate officer in the Civil War, historian and author.

William Walton was a member of the Revolutionary Continental Congress who later settled in Columbus County, Georgia where he died in 1818.
