In 1796, John Hume Manderson living in Burke County, Georgia, murdered Mrs. Sarah Bailey. He believed her to be a witch and thought that Mrs. Bailey had put a spell on one of his daughters. At his trial, testimony was given that John had fallen from a horse and fractured his skull. This caused him to be delusional " when in Liquor." He was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. According to archived newspapers, a petition was circulated for the governor to pardon John. He was pardoned and released, promptly moving to Wilkinson County, Georgia. John Hume Manderson died there in 1826.
