Letter, 1832 Mar. 25, Etowah to Governor Wilson Lumpkin, Milledgeville, Georgia / John Coffee Coffee, John, 1782-1836 Cherokee Indians--Claims against Cherokee Indians--Government relations This is a letter dated March 25, 1832 from John Coffee in Etowah to Governor Wilson Lumpkin (Governor of Georgia, 1831-1835) in Milledgeville informing the governor that the two detachments sent out under Sergeants Young and Ray had returned the evening before. Ray, who was supposed to meet Young at Coosawattee and return with him through Ellijay to arrest two Indian chiefs named Whitepath and Sunday, was unsuccessful in his venture and returned without the two chiefs. Coffee considers Ray's mission a success, however, because he believes that it will send a message to inhabitants that they must obey the laws of the state. The letter also mentions a Sergeant Parker, who by chance came upon an Indian named Oulee (?) who was wanted for the murder of a young man near Carroll County. Document ID: tcc710.
