Biografia

Nativo della Virginia e discendente di una famiglia dalle lontane origini italiane, combatté nella guerra d'indipendenza americana, venendo promosso capitano.[1] Nel 1780 venne catturato dai britannici durante l'assedio di Charleston, e rimase loro prigioniero fino alla fine della guerra[2] (anche se in realtà gli fu permesso di tornare in Virginia per sposarsi).[1]

Nel 1784, convinto dal conoscente George Mathews, si trasferì in Georgia, stabilendovisi definitivamente.[2] Creò una grande piantagione di tabacco e acquistò molti schiavi afroamericani, diventando un ricco piantatore.[1] Entrato in politica come federalista, suoi alleati erano gli influenti John Milledge e Lachlan McIntosh, che riuscirono a farlo eleggere al Senato della Georgia.[1]

Durante lo scandalo dello Yazoo fu uno strenuo oppositore degli speculatori, e fu quindi uno dei pochi federalisti a non risentire dell'impopolarità causata al partito dall'affare.[1] Non fu comunque a sua volta esente da accuse, e ricorse quindi almeno in un'occasione a un duello per difendere il proprio onore.[1] Nel 1799 venne eletto alla Camera dei Rappresentanti; riconfermato nel 1801, si associò ai democratico-repubblicani, ma l'anno successivo si dimise per motivi di salute e tornò in Georgia.[1][2]

Ormai in permanenti cattive condizioni di salute, fu costretto a rifiutare una candidatura al Senato degli Stati Uniti d'America nel 1813.[1] Morì nel 1821.[1][2]
