John Wesley landed in America on this island February 6, 1736
From the Journal of John Wesley
Fri, 6-About eight in the morning I first set my foot on American ground it was a small uninhabited island,...over against Tybee, called by the English Peeper Island/ Mr Oglethorpe led us through the moorish land on the shore to a rising ground...we chose an open place surrounded with Myrtles, Bays, and Cedars, which sheltered us both from the sun and wind, and called our little flock together to prayers.
