# James Seagrove

James Seagrove was an ambassador for the United States to the Creek Nation and merchant who lived in southern Georgia.

## Early career as a merchant and trader

Although Seagrove's early life is obscure, he was probably born in southern Ireland in 1767. He first appears helping the states of Georgia and South Carolina to procure supplies from Cuba during the American Revolutionary War.
After the war, Seagrove moved to Camden County, Georgia. During the 1780s, acting occasionally with the British firm of Panton, Leslie & Company, Seagrove developed a network of mercantile and diplomatic contacts with the Spanish and the Indians along the Georgia borders, and both the state and the federal government utilized his talents in a series of missions to the southern tribes.
Early on, he purchased land and ran a store on Point Peter. Seagrove was one of twenty men who created the town of St. Marys, on the St. Marys River, in 1787. He also formed a charter with his brother Robert Seagrove, and James Armstrong and Noble Hardee for the town of Coleraine also on the St. Marys River, where he operated a mercantile store. He received permission to trade with the Lower Creeks from Chief Alexander McGillivray.

## Public service on the Georgia-Florida frontier

In 1787, Seagrove was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. In 1788, Seagrove and Henry Osborne, also of Camden County, were candidates for Representative to the First United States Congress of 1789. Both Seagrove and Osborne lost to Abraham Baldwin.
In 1789, Seagrove was appointed a Collector of the State of Georgia under Congress, an appointment for which he wrote to George Washington for support. The post was at St. Marys, and the town became the site of a U.S. Customs Port. Dissatisfied with an appointment which had produced "not one shilling," Seagrove wrote to President Washington on 16 April 1790 requesting a more lucrative assignment and in March 1792 he was made inspector of the port.
He also served as a Commissioner to the Spanish government in Florida, going to St. Augustine in 1791 to discuss fugitive slaves from the United States entering East Florida.
In 1793, Seagrove undertook a mission to Tukabatchee, a 'capital' town of the Creek Nation.
In 1796, the Treaty of Colerain between the Creeks and United States was signed at the small town Seagrove had founded.
James Seagrove's death date cannot be found, but it is known he was a participant in the Patriot Expedition in 1811.

# Pławniowice

Pławniowice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rudziniec, within Gliwice County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north-east of Rudziniec, 19 km (12 mi) north-west of Gliwice, and 41 km (25 mi) west of the regional capital Katowice.

## History

The village was first mentioned in 1317, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, it fell under the rule of the Bohemian Crown, thus becoming part of the Holy Roman Empire. The local manor was initially owned by local knights and then was part of a large fee tail estate which changed ownership numerous times. In the 16th century it became part of the Habsburg monarchy. In 1645, along with the Duchy of Opole, Pławniowice returned to Polish rule under the House of Vasa, and in 1666 it fell back to Habsburg-ruled Bohemia. The area was mostly a scenic woodland next to a large lake until 1737, when it was bought by a nobleman called Franz Wolfgang von Stechow. Following the Silesian Wars, the village was annexed by Prussia. In 1789 it passed through a marriage to the wealthy noble clan of the Ballestrems, who built a fairy tale palace between 1882 and 1884. Designed by Constantine Heidenreich, the palace is a three-wing structure in the architectural style of Dutch neo-mannerism. It is known for its "contrast in colour and texture between the red brick walls and ornamental stone edging". The roofs are adorned by various turrets, towers, dormers and needles of different shapes and sizes. Moreover, the palatial site is also adjacent to a carefully planned landscape park alongside a water canal. In 1861, the village had a population of 1,041.
In 1871, the village became part of the German Empire. In the 1921 Upper Silesia plebiscite, 66.2% of the residents voted to rejoin Poland, which just regained independence following World War I, however the village remained within Germany in the interbellum. In 1936, during a massive Nazi campaign of renaming of placenames, the village was renamed to Flößingen to erase traces of Polish origin. During World War II, the Germans operated the E218 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp at the local forestry.
The palace remained in the hands of the Ballestrems until the end of World War II when it was abandoned as the Red Army quickly approached the village. The palace was then looted and the lavish interiors were devastated. After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic Polish name Pławniowice was restored.
Following the war, the palace was owned by the Polish state and was neglected, which contributed to its deteriorated over time. Since 1993 it has undergone full renovation and is now a local tourist attraction.

## Transport

The Polish A4 motorway passes through the village, and its intersection with the National road 40 is located just outside of the village.

## Sports

The local football club is Olimpia Pławniowice. It competes in the lower leagues.

* Franz von Ballestrem (1834–1910), German politician, speaker of German Reichstag
