Early lifeHe was born near Madison in the Colony of Virginia, in 1773, the son of Joel Early and Lucy Smith. He had a sister Lucy, who later married Charles Lewis Mathews.[1] His cousin, Jubal Early, became the grandfather of Jubal Anderson Early (1816–1894), later a prominent Confederate general. Peter Early graduated from the Lexington Academy (current-day Washington and Lee University). He later graduated from Princeton College, in 1792. His family moved to Wilkes County, Georgia, on the central eastern border, that same year. Early was studying law with Jared Ingersoll in Philadelphia. After finishing his legal studies, Peter Early joined his family in Wilkes County. There he married Ann Adams Smith in 1793. In 1796 he began his law practice in Washington, the county seat of Wilkes County. Political lifeEarly was elected as a Representative from Georgia to the 8th United States Congress to serve the remainder of the term left vacant by the resignation of John Milledge, who had been elected as Governor of Georgia. Early was re-elected to the 9th Congress. During his congressional service, Early was one of the managers of the prosecution in the impeachment trials against John Pickering, New Hampshire United States District Court judge, in January 1804, and Samuel Chase, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, in December of that year. Early did not seek re-election in 1806. After his congressional service,[2] Early was elected by the Georgia General Assembly as judge of the Superior Court, Ocmulgee Circuit, serving in that court from 1807 until 1813. The respect and popularity he gained from his service on the bench propelled him to be elected the 28th Governor of Georgia in 1813. He served one term, through 1815, during which he was instrumental in committing funds on several occasions from the state treasury to help raise and supply additional troops from Georgia to the American military forces during the latter half of the War of 1812.[3] Early moved to Greene County after his gubernatorial term, where he was elected to the Georgia Senate. DeathDuring his term in the Georgia Senate, Peter Early died on August 15, 1817, at his summer home near Scull Shoals in Greene County. He was buried on the west bank of the Oconee River near his Fontenoy Plantation home,[4] with a simple monument to mark his grave. In 1914, his family had his remains reinterred in the Greensboro City Cemetery. Legacy and honorsEarly County, Georgia,[5] and Fort Early[6] were named in his honor. Notes1. ^Patrick, Rembert W.
