James Habersham
James Habersham (c. 1712 – 1775) was a pioneering merchant and statesman in the British North American colony of Georgia. Habersham is credited with opening the first direct trade between Savannah, Georgia and London, England. He was an influential advocate for slavery in the colonies. He served as King Secretary of the Province and as President of the King's Council. In opposition to his adult sons, Habersham remained a Loyalist during the American Revolution.
==Early life==
Habersham was born in Beverley, Yorkshire, England, the son of a freeman and burgess, in January 1712/13. He was baptized in the Anglican church of St. Mary's on 26 January 1715/16. In 1722, he moved to London where he worked as a merchant apprentice. In the 1730s, Habersham began following the teachings of George Whitefield and converted to Wesleyan Methodism. At Whitefield's behest, Habersham traveled to the Georgia Colony as a missionary and schoolmaster in 1738.〔
