The county's official site states that the currently accepted spelling varied from that used by Governor John Houstoun. This seems reasonable given that standardized spelling wasn't in much vogue during the 18th century. Ellsworth 23:54, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

As someone who took Georgia history as a schoolchild, I'd like to point out that, at several different times in the early 1900s and also during Reconstruction, their were three or more people claiming to be governor. This should be noted. I'd especially look at the Arnall, Talmadge, Thompson period, where, for two months in 1947, Georgia had three governors.

Many of the links for the colonial governors just prior to the American Revolution are just plain wrong . . . but I don't know if the names are wrong, or just the links . . . RCL - 2 Aug 2006

I've upgraded the table and added notes, but I have no/little good information for the revolutionary governors. I haven't put any notes for the pre-Jeffersonian Republican governors. --Golbez 11:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Numbering of Governors

The numbering of the Governors is incorrect. Georgia numbers it's Governors by the individual, not the governorships. In othewords: Non-consecutive term Governors are not recounted. GoodDay (talk) 23:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The entire list is an unfinished mess. You're welcome to renumber it; it's not under active editing at the present. --Golbez (talk) 01:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a go at it, latter today. GoodDay (talk) 01:43, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
