The territory embraced within the state of Florida was not acquired by the United States through direct purchase from Spain. The treaty ceding this territory was drawn around a claim clause of this country and its citizens against the Spanish government for alleged damages for various reasons. The United States government agreed to cancel its claims and assume the payment of those of its citizens to an amount not exceeding five million dollars, in consideration of which Spain ceded Florida. The transfer of government was accomplished in July, 1821; whereupon General Andrew Jackson became provisional governor.


Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part Ii, Kathryn T. Abbey 2021 University of Central Florida

Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part Ii, Kathryn T. Abbey

Florida Historical Quarterly

The second instalment of documents relating to the plantations of El Destino and Chemonie contains records of Chemonie during its first year as part of the Jones property. The estate was located some six miles north of El Destino in Leon County, and was purchased by Mary Savage Nuttall a few months before her marriage to George Noble Jones. The object of the purchase was to give employment to some eighty negroes whom the future Mrs. Jones had inherited from the estate of an uncle, William Savage. It is probable that not all of the group were placed on Chemonie, …

The Seminole War. - The treaty negotiated with the Florida tribes of Indians at Moultrie Creek, September 18, 1823, provided for their removal to a location on the peninsula designated in the treaty, but by an additional article some of the principal chiefs and their connections were allowed to remain in Middle Florida upon certain bodies of land granted to them for their use and occupation. The main body of the Indians removed to the district assigned to them during the winter of 1824. They had left their old homes and hunting grounds with great reluctance. They were not satisfied …


St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine; The Franciscans In Florida, Charles H. Mohr O.S.B. 2021 University of Central Florida

St. Francis Barracks, St. Augustine; The Franciscans In Florida, Charles H. Mohr O.S.B.

Florida Historical Quarterly

St. Francis Barracks, once the home of the sons of St. Francis, is perhaps the only religious edifice ever taken and used continuously by the United States for military purposes. This came about through the treaty made with Spain and not by an act of hostility against the Catholic Church. The Franciscans will probably never again take possession of their ancient home. Surely, though, some day-and may it be soon-there will be some place in Florida to which they will be called to renew the work so successfully and efficiently performed by their saintly and courageous predecessors.

Florida Historical Quarterly

This series of plantation documents will be continued through several numbers of the QUARTERLY. Taken singly, some of these may seem to be of slight interest and of no value to the recording of Florida’s history; but they have been selected to give a view of plantation life and conditions and practice from as many different directions as possible, and it is believed that together they picture at least an outline of what a typical Middle Florida plantation was before the War. Portions of the journals of the overseers, their letters to the owner, and extracts literatim from the other …
