Obituary in The South-Carolinian:
Died at his residence in Jones County, Georgia, on the 18th of Oct 1842, the venerable citizen and
patriot - John Lamar, Esq., in the 81st year of his age. As a soldier of the Revolution, he was not
only brave to a fault, but his services were of long continuance, and his sufferings excessive. He
served under Gen'ls Marion and Pickens attached generally to the Battalion of the latter - was at
the battle of Eutaw, Cowpens, Siege of Augusta, and in several other engagements - once taken
a prisoner, but made his escape from the camp of Cornwallis, rescuing at the same time one of
his cousins - was twice wounded during the war by the British, and once by the Indians after his
removal to this State. He was a descendant of the Huguenots, who sought refuge in America from
the persecutions of their own country - was born in South Carolina and emigrated to the State of
Georgia, at the close of the Revolution.
