• George Wayne Anderson Papers (#1498)

Planters Bank of Savannah, also known as Planters Bank of the State of Georgia, dissolved in March 1869 as a result of insolvency brought on by losses incurred during the Civil War and the failure of the State of Georgia to repay wartime loans to the Bank. George W. Anderson was president at that time.

The collection consists of notes, deeds, mortgages, stock certificates, a variety of legal papers, a small amount of correspondence, and a record book of notes redeemed, chiefly 1840s and 1850s, relating to loans, transactions with northern firms, and other financial dealings of Planters Bank of Savannah, also known as the Planters Bank of the State of Georgia. A few Civil War items relate to the seizure of alien property and purchase of government bonds. Also included is a muster roll, April 1861, for a detachment from the permanent party at Oglethorpe Barracks, Savannah, Ga., sent to headquarters of the 1st Georgia Infantry Regiment at Fort Pulaski, Ga.
