Stobo et als v. Bullock
John Hammerton, secretary of the province 1732-1762, and receiver-general of quit rents 1732-1742, was sent to Georgia in 1736 to negotiate on the question of licenses for Indian trade. Apparently he left the province before his death in 1766. (Smith, S. C. as a Royal Province, pp. 411, 413, 219; SCHGM, XXIII, 219.)
