Biographical History
Israel Keech Tefft (1794-1862) was born in Rhode Island and came to Savannah in 1816.

He was associated with the Bank of the State of Georgia from 1822 until his death. He was one of the founders of the Georgia Historical Society in 1839 and was its Corresponding Secretary until his death. His interest in history and literature led him to establish a library in his home which became a cosmopolitan gathering place for the literati. He also amassed one of the largest collections of autographs in the world; this collection was sold at auction in New York in 1866.
