Milledge, John 1757- Statesman; born in Savannah, Ga., in 1757; was brought up in the office of the King's attorney of Georgia, but when the Revolutionary War approached he took the side of the colonists. He was one of the party who captured Governor Wright (see Wright, Sir James). He was active in civil and military affairs in Georgia during the war, and in 1780 was appointed attorney-general of the State. From 1792 to 1802 he was a member of Congress, excepting one term, and from 1802 to 1806 was governor of the State. He was the principal founder of the University of Georgia, and the legislature of his State evinced their profound respect for him by giving his name to the capital of Georgia. He died on the Sand Hills, near Augusta, Ga., Feb. 9. 1818.
