Thomas Brown (loyalist)
Thomas 'Burnfoot' Brown (May 27, 1750 – August 3, 1825) was an English Loyalist during the American Revolution. Intending to become a quiet colonial landowner, he lived instead a turbulent and combative career. During the American Revolution, he played a key role for the Loyalist cause in Georgia. Following the overthrow of British Rule and the success of the Revolution, Brown was exiled first to Florida and later to St Vincent's Island in the Caribbean.
==Early life==
Thomas Brown was born in Whitby, Yorkshire, England on 27 May 1750 into a prosperous merchant family; his father Jonas owned a successful shipping company. In 1774, aged 25, Thomas recruited colonists from Whitby and the Orkney Islands, and emigrated with them to the Province of Georgia. He established the community of Brownsborough northeast of present day Augusta and anticipated a life as a gentleman planter.
