he built it but didn't own it?[edit]

User:Civil Engineer 3 writes at the George Walton article that Walton built and lived at Meadow Garden:

During his second term as governor, he built Meadow Garden, a cottage constructed on confiscated Tory land outside of Augusta, where he died. He was survived by his wife Dorothy, née Camber,^[1] whom he had married in 1775, and one of his two sons. He was initially buried at Rosney, home of his nephew Robert Watkins; he was re-interred in 1848 beneath the Signers Monument in front of the courthouse on Greene Street in Augusta. Even though Walton was from Georgia and Virginia, he did not own slaves.^[2]

But this article on Meadow Garden states he did not own it. Doesn't make sense to me. Also the assertion he did not own slaves is interesting, worth mentioning in this article about Meadow Garden perhaps. Most or nearly all distinguished Georgia homes that are now listed on the National Register, on plantations and otherwise, perhaps including Meadow Garden were built by slaves.--Doncram (talk) 17:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
