About John Habersham (1754-1799). One can speculate that John Habersham may have attended the first public reading of The Declaration of Independence at the Georgian mansion (ca. 1771) now know as Ye Olde Pink House, a building to which Thomas Jefferson contributed to the architectural design.
Along with his two brothers, John was active in the family's international commerce businesses, rice plantations and the American Revolutionary era politics. He was a member of the Confederation Congress in the 1780s and actively supported the adoption of the United State Constitution in 1788. As rewards for Revolutionary service, during the 1790s President George Washington appointed John port collector for Savannah. He is buried in the Colonial Park Cemetery (at the intersection of Abercorn & Oglethorpe Streets). It is John's brother James Habersham Jr., who supposedly hanged himself in the basement of Ye Olde Pink House in 1799 is said to haunt the restaurant's tavern today.
