The Midway community sent a delegation to the First Continental Congress
even though the province of George declined to do so.

Button Gwinnett
Lyman Hall
George Walton
All three were associated with the Midway community in one way or another.
George Walton was an ancestor of some of us (more than shown on this chart):
