Brampton Plantation was a plantation originally founded in colonial Savannah, Province of Georgia. It has been closely associated with Jonathan Bryan, a landowner, patriot and an associate of James Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of the Savannah colony. Bryan owned it from 1765.[1] The plantation was located between National Gypsum Company and Union Camp Corporation, about 3.5 miles northwest of downtown Savannah on the Savannah River. A cemetery also exists on the land.[2]

For fifteen years after the 1733 foundation of the Savannah colony, the land was part of an Indian reservation; in 1757, the land was divided up and allotted to planters. David Graham was the first owner of the section that became Brampton.[1]

John Garnier Williamson, a slaveholder, was the owner of Brampton when his probate inventory was recorded in 1814.[3] His son, John Postell Williamson, owned the plantation after his father died.
