Note 1133 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Pickens to Greene in Johnson's Greene, ii. 135, and Gibbes, Doc. Hist. (1781-82), 91. On the other hand, Browne, the British commander at Augusta, in a letter to Ramsay, dated Dec. 25, 1786 (White's Hist. Coll.), asserts that James Alexander, a captain in Pickens's militia, was the murderer whom Pickens shielded. It would seem that such was the case. See further Johnson's Traditions; McCall's Georgia; Jones's Georgia, ii. 455; Stevens's Georgia, ii. 247; White's Hist. Coll. of Georgia, 210; Lee's Memoirs, ii. 204; and Stedman, American War, ii. 219.
