	New Georgia Encyclopedia: James Edward Oglethorpe (1696-1785)
		Oglethorpe spent most of the next decade in Georgia, where he directed the economic and political development of the new colony, defended it militarily, and continued to generate support and recruit settlers in England and other parts of Europe.

		Oglethorpe also was given the title of "General and Commander in Chief of all and singular his Majesty's provinces of Carolina and Georgia." This has led to confusion as to whether Oglethorpe was now a colonel or a general.
