Lyman Hall was from Georgia. He was sent by St. John's parish as the lone representative from Georgia to the Continental Congress. St. John's parish was a fiercely anti-British parish. He was admitted to Congress in May 1775. Since he didn't represent the whole colony, he wasn't allowed to vote on issues that required a "by the colony" vote. He was only allowed to vote on more general matters. The rest of Georgia did not send delegates to the Continental Congress until July 1775.
