JAMES OGLETHORPE

Founder of Georgia

Beginning at Oglethorpe Bench, we discover how the English Statesman, James Oglethorpe, wanted to establish an ideal colony where people could get a second chance and experience true religious freedom.  He wanted to divide land into equal portions, so everyone had a chance to make a decent living in the New World.

JOHN WESLEY

John Wesley, who is considered the father of Methodism, arrived in Savannah in 1736 by the request of Oglethorpe to be the pastor at Christ Church and foster the relationship between indigenous peoples and settlers . He started the first Sunday School in Savannah and published the first English hymnal in Georgia.

CHIEF TOMOCHICHI

Oglethorpe understood the importance of establishing a friendly and cooperative relationship with the indigenous peoples. With the help of John and Mary Musgrove and Chief Tomochichi, the colony was given land in exchange for fair trade practices and support. Their mutual friendship and respect is what helped make the colony of Georgia succeed.

MARY MUSGROVE

Mary Musgrove served as a cultural liaison between colonial Georgia and her Native American community in the mid-eighteenth century. Musgrove took advantage of her biculturalism to protect Creek interests, maintain peace on the frontier, and expand her business as a trader. As Pocahontas was to the Jamestown colony and Sacagawea was to the Lewis and Clark expedition, so was Musgrove to the burgeoning Georgia colony.
