Marker Text*: Here lived George Michael Troup, Governor of Georgia 1823-27. Born in 1780 at McIntosh's Bluff on the Tombigbee River in a part of Georgia that is now Alabama, he graduated at Princeton, 1797, and was admitted to the bar at Savannah, 1800. He served in the Georgia Legislature 1801-03, U.S. Congress 1807-15, and U.S. Senate 1816-18 and 1829-33.
When the Federal government failed to carry out its agreement to remove the Indians from Georgia, Troup in 1825 warned the President: "We have exhausted the argument. We stand by our arms". The Indians were removed.
