Excerpt from A Narrative of the Military Actions of Colonel Marinus Willett, Taken Chiefly From His Own Manuscript
Throughout every stage of the arduous struggle, his heart remained true to the cause of freedom, and it was not until peace was proclaimed that he laid down his arms.
At the close of the war, Colonel Willett returned to civil pursuits. Under the administration of General Washington, he negotiated terms of peace between the Creek nation and the United States an event in which General Washington was deeply interested.
In addition to negotiating this treaty, Colonel Willett filled several other civil offices; and after his retirement from public life, he frequently appeared among his fellow citizens, on interesting occasions, always manifesting a lively interest in the honour and prosperity of his country.
