Tories

The record has been handed down in the English family that during the War of the Revolution a band of Tories wearing masks came to the home of Thomas English, Jr., in Georgia, and destroyed the feather beds by ripping them open. Thomas English, Jr., was away from home at the time. His wife, Jane Wicker English, snatched the mask from the face of one and found him to be a near neighbor.
