 | | After the death of Georgia's president and commander-in-chief, Archibald Bulloch, in February 1777, the Council of Safety appointed Gwinnett to succeed him. | | | Gwinnett County was named for him when it was established in 1818. | | | Disappointed in his military ambitions, Gwinnett continued to lead the opposition to the Christ Church Parish coalition, and when his followers gained control of Georgia's Provincial Congress, they succeeded in electing him Speaker. |
