George Michael Troup, called Georgia's most fiery Governor, is buried beside his brother in a tomb at Rosemont, one of his many plantations. Born in 1780, Troup died on April 28, 1856, in Overseer Bridges' home while visiting Rosemont. Educated at Princeton and a member of the bar, he had been a legislator, congressman, twice a U.S. senator, and twice Governor of Georgia. He is famed for his message to the President in 1825 when the government had failed in its agreement to remove the Indians from Georgia: "We have exhausted the argument. We will stand by our arms." The message was successful.
