\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The end of the Revolutionary War. In 1782, over one hundred Georgians purchased the confiscated land once belonging to the Tories. Throughout the Revolutionary War, Tories left from different locations, mainly to the Lawrence River in Canada and Quebec. It is reasonable to assume that some Tory families sailed to Barbados in the West Indies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among some prominent Tories whose land was taken were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sir James Wright, the Royal Governor, 300 acres on the Great Ogeechee River plantation known as Mulberry Grove.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Nathaniel Hall, 500 acres, Morton Hall.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Alexander Wright, 1000 acres of the Savannah River.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. John Graham, 847 and 1224 acres.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Generals Nathanael Greene and Anthony Wayne received lands for their service during the war. Wayne was dissatisfied with his rice plantation and went to Pennsylvania. Greene remained in Georgia and died on St. Catherine’s Island on June 19, 1786.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
