Notes

"Fort Frederica, St. Simons Island
During the "Trustee Period" of Georgia between 1733 and1754, General James Oglethorpe established the first settlements in Georgia for the London Board of Trustees. King George II of England granted these trustees land in the new colony of Georgia between the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers and to the Atlantic Ocean. Oglethorpe began constructing several small forts at various strategic places, staffed them with small contingents of soldiers and sent families to cultivate the land around them. Around 1736, Oglethorpe established Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island situated at the mouth of the Altamaha River.

In 1742 a very large Spanish force landed on St. Simons Island and Oglethorpe withdrew his soldiers and settlers from the surrounding area into fortified Fort Frederica. He and the soldiers set out for a surprise attack and roundly defeated the Spanish in what was later called the Battle of Bloody Marsh. The Spanish pulled out of Georgia and the war between Spain and Britain was effectively ended by this last battle for territory in the New World. Georgia's boundary became the St. Marys River where it remains to this day. Click here for an exciting tale of the Battle of Bloody Marsh.

The following data was extracted from a 1958 press release found in the Margaret Cate Collection at the Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, Georgia. The press release was part of an announcement of the of the new museum opening at Ft. Federica on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The release included a list of original settlers of St. Simons Island and the soldiers stationed at the Fort by General James Oglethorpe in 1736.
