As Governor Walton navigates the twists and turns of politics in early Georgia, he must have also worried for the fate of his young wife Dorothy. On November 18, 1779, Thomas Morris wrote a letter to George Walton, which he probably would have received weeks later during the Christmas season. Morris tells that Mrs. Walton had been taken by the British to St. Johns in Antigua where she ‘awaited efforts to secure her freedom.’
