Treutlen, John Adam, 1733-1782
Variant namesJohn Adam Treutlen (1733-1782) was the first governor of the state of Georgia. He lived in St. Mathews Parish (Effingham County); he represented the parish at the Provincial Congress in 1775. Treutlen served as governor, 1777-1778; he later moved near Orangeburg, South Carolina, and was elected to the state assembly for his district. Georgia elected him also and he attended the Georgia Assembly when it met for its first session in Augusta in January, 1782. He did not attend the next session, which met in April, and it is believed in the early spring of 1782 he was killed by Tories, although the manner and location of his death are disputed.
