  1. Example - Most Important #1 - The Charter of 1732 – I picked this for #1 because without it… #2 - James Oglethorpe #3 - Mary Musgrove #4 – Tomochichi – I picked this for #4 because he… Least Important Warm-up for 10.05.10 Rank the four people/Items from yesterday’s classwork from most to least Important to Georgia’s Founding. Then explain why #1 (most important) and #4 (least important) were chosen.

  2. James Oglethorpe One of the 21 original Trustees, he was the unofficial leader of the GA Colony and the only trustee to ever come to Georgia. He petitioned King George II to start a new colony within the “debatabe lands” (south of South Carolina/north of Florida) for the purposes of “C.E.D.” At age 36, he helped establish Savannah, the first permanent British settlement (in GA), after negotiating for land from the Yamacraw Indians.

  3. The Charter of 1732 This legal document was granted by King George II so the Georgia Trustees could establish the colony of Georgia. It stated the boundaries for the new GA Colony (“all lands between the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers extending westward to the South Seas [Pacific Ocean]”), who couldn’t become colonists, and rules the trustees had to obey like: Not owning land Not holding political office Not be given money for their work Not passing laws without the king’s permission

  4. Tomochichi The chief of the Yamacraw Indians, Tomochihi gave permission to Oglethorpe to settle on his land at Yamacraw Bluff – 18 miles inland on the Savannah River. Tomochichi and Oglethorpe actually become life-long friends and Tomochichi travels to England to meet the king.

  5. Mary Musgrove The co-operator of a trading post with her husband, Mary Musgrove was part Creek Indian and part British. She was used as a translator between James Oglethorpe and Tomochichi.
