Abstract:

This article looks at Englishman and spy John Savy, also known as Don Miguel Wall, and his involvement in the tenuous relations between the English colony of Carolina and the Spanish colony of Florida starting in 1735 with the establishment of the colony of Georgia as a new threat to the Spanish. The article includes a biography of Savy, an account of his various plans and attempts to aid and pass information to the Spanish, and details on the eventual settlement of the Georgia border dispute.
