Extract from A Historical Survey of a Glamorganshire Parish:
"He became President or Governor of the State of Georgia, USA, and died at the age of 46 as a result of a duel with a General McIntosh. In this duel both were wounded, Button Gwinnett above the Knee, the bone being Broken, and the General in the leg. The later recovered but it is said that, through the lack of skill of his physacians, gangrene set in and Button Gwinnett died."
