Indirectly. He sent a forged letter to Congress that created a dispute between President of Georgia Button Gwinnett and General Lachlan McIntosh. Button Gwinnett died as a result of the duel that he and Lachlan had.

When Lachlan's son, Captain William McIntosh, heard of this, he horse-whipped George Walton. However, that did not keep George Walton from being appointed Chief Justice of the state of Georgia that same year, while the young Captain was court martialed.
