Martin Weatherford's Claim (Image 489)

Native of America
1775, when war broke out, he was settled in Georgia as a planter
Resided in Augusta and remained quiet until 1779
Paid fines for not serving in the militia and took an Oath of Allegiance to the Americans
In 1779 he joined *Colonel Campbell and took a Captain's commission
Remained behind there and was tried for taking arms against America; acquitted
Kept out of the way until Sir Henry Clinton came southward when he joined him
Has been within the British lines ever since
On the evacuation of Savannah he went to Florida
From there to the Bahamas
He now resides at Abbaco
Letter from General McArthur as to his character
Says all of his papers are lost
*Lieutenant-Colonel George Campbell

From The King's Ranger: Thomas Brown and the American Revolution on the Southern ..., By Edward J. Cashin:

"The capture of Lt. Col. George Campbell gave the British leaders in Charlestown the opportunity to replace the unpopular commandant of Georgetown. Some of his officers had written to Charlestown complaining that they were already in a near state of mutiny at the time of his capture, which may explain why none ventured forth to rescue him."
