FIRST EDITION.  "Though Thomas Stephens was the son of William Stephens, who succeeded Oglethorpe as governor of Georgia, he was a leader of what the administration forces called the malcontents. Thomas complains of the prohibition against Negroes and against the transportation of rum, (this latter deprived the colonists of a trade which the New Englanders, especially those from Rhode Island, found very lucrative) and in an Appendix of 101 pages gives various contemporary letters and protests regarding affairs in Georgia" (Streeter Sale 1152). De Renne I, p.112; Howes S-942; Sabin 91305.
