[Letter] 1793 July 9, [to] Gen[era]l John Twiggs, Augusta [Georgia] / Timothy Barnard
author: Barnard, Timothy, 1745-1820 
date: July 9, 1793 
extent: 3p 
summary: This is a letter dated July 9, 1793 from
Timothy Barnard, in the Creek nation, to General John
Twiggs. Barnard tells Twiggs of a recent express that
arrived for Major Seagrove relative to the murder of
David Cornel(l), a young Creek warrior allegedly
committed by a man named Hamton, from Major James
Seagrove's station at Coleraine (Camden County,
Georgia). Barnard also accuses this man of stealing
horses from the Indians and from Edward Telfair,
Governor of Georgia (1786-1787, 1790-1793). Barnard
calls Cornell's murderers "villains" and doubts that he
can pacify the Creeks after this killing. This letter
is related to tcc678 and tcc680.
