George Galphin was an Indian trader and a diplomat of impressive influence and wealth who lived on the Savannah River at Silver Bluff, South Carolina, in the 1700s. He had substantial landholdings in both South Carolina and Georgia, where he played a critical role in Indian affairs during the Revolutionary era. Galphin was born in County Armgah, Ireland, in the early 1700s to Barbara and Thomas Galphin, a linen weaver. Before leaving Ireland, he married Catherine Saunderson, whom he never saw again after he emigrated.
