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.〔Coleman, Georgia Biography, 2:876–78〕 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.〔John H. Christian. The Founders of St. Marys. 1990.〕 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.〔J. W. Caughey. McGillivray of the Creeks. Norman Oklahoma, 1938. 286-288.〕
