Indian Murders, Florida Historical Society
Indian Murders, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
Beside the road leading westward from St. Augustine to Picolata on the St. Johns River there is a permanent marker with this inscription: THEATRICAL TROUP KILLED BY INDIANS, MAY 23, 1840. Varying accounts of this attack suggested a search for a contemporaneous narrative, and this extract from the Florida Herald of St. Augustine, the issue of May 29, 1840, appears to be the most trustworthy of those found. General Churchill (in Sketch of the Life of Bvt. Brig. Gen. Sylvester Churchill, New York, 1888, p. 45) states that he passed the party of actors shortly before they were ambushed, but …

Address Of The “Principal Inhabitants Of East Florida” To Governor Tonyn, June 6, 1783, John Forbes
Address Of The “Principal Inhabitants Of East Florida” To Governor Tonyn, June 6, 1783, John Forbes
Florida Historical Quarterly
In this address there may be perceived something of the shock and consternation resulting among the residents of British Florida from the sudden intelligence that the country was to be handed back to Spain and desuetude, and they were to be homeless. The high historical value of the document, however, lies in that it is a list of “the principal inhabitants of East Florida” at the time of the cession.

Reverend John Forbes (D. 1783), Edgar Legare Pennington
Florida Historical Quarterly
John Forbes was probably, born in Scotland. He received his education at King’s College in old Aberdeen, where he passed through the ordinary course of Greek, mathematics, and philosophy, and attended lectures in divinity. The University of Aberdeen conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts in the spring of 1763; the principal and masters certifying at that time that he had “behaved with great Modesty & Discretion, was diligent in his Studies, & made very good Progress in the different Branches of Learning.” On the 16th of May, 1763, he was recommended to the bishops of the Church …

Thomas Campbell To Lord Deane Gordon: An Account Of The Creek Indian Nation, 1764, Thomas Campbell
Florida Historical Quarterly
The original of this letter is preserved by Sir Arthur Grant of Monymusk, Scotland; to whom, and to Mr. George Cole Scott of the Virginia Historical Society, grateful acknowledgment is made for copies of this and other documents relating to British Florida. The rarity of extant letters of this period and territory adds to its already high value as source historical material.
Elotchaway, East Florida, 1814, T. Frederick Davis
Elotchaway, East Florida, 1814, T. Frederick Davis
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1811, when war clouds between the United States and Great Britain were gathering, the United States sent commissioners to Spanish Florida seeking a temporary cession to prevent its occupancy by the British in case of war. As might be expected Spain would not consent to such an arrangement, whereupon General George Mathews, representing the United States government in this negotiation, devised a plan to bring about a cession through the medium of a revolution of the inhabitants of East Florida, who would be assisted by residents of Georgia and by the regular armed forces of the United States. Such …

Letter Of Marcus C. Stephens (Quincy, Florida, 1835), Marcus Cicero Stephens
Letter Of Marcus C. Stephens (Quincy, Florida, 1835), Marcus Cicero Stephens
Florida Historical Quarterly
The writer of the above letter was Marcus Cicero Stephens of Newbern, North Carolina. During the early years of territorial Florida, many settlers came to the region from the Carolinas and Virginia, due, partly, to the desire to establish pioneer plantations as speculative ventures and, partly, to the need of expansion to take care of the surplus slave property. Stephens was apparently a member of this group. His family was well connected, as his mother was the niece of Commodore James Barron of the “Chesapeake” fame. The plantation which was being established was located near Quincy, Florida ; and here …
Notes On The Life Of James Grant Prior And Subsequent To His Governorship Of East Florida, Philip C. Tucker
Notes On The Life Of James Grant Prior And Subsequent To His Governorship Of East Florida, Philip C. Tucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
To the general reader of Florida history, James Grant is but governor of British East Florida. Had the country remained English for a few more decades, it might well have been that those seven years held the most important service of his long public life; for during that time he laid, in a wilderness, the sound foundation of a typical British colony. But as that beginning came to naught; his governorship is only the midpoint of a military career which began in 1741 as an ensign and carried him to the rank of general in 1796.
Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1874. Part Iv, Kathryn T. Abbey
Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1874. Part Iv, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
The record of El Destino and Chemonie plantations cannot be brought to a close without some account of the changes wrought there by the ravages of the War for Southern Independence, no matter how meager that account has to be. And meager it is. Beyond a few letters, some broken statistical memoranda jotted down by George Noble Jones, and a score or more bits of paper strewn about the El Destino attic, there is nothing. It is with the fullest realization of this circumstance and the resulting limitation of the picture of the plantations that the following narrative is presented.

Key West And Salvage In 1850, John C. Hoyt
Key West And Salvage In 1850, John C. Hoyt
Florida Historical Quarterly
From the beginning there was wide difference of opinion and sharp controversy in regard to wrecking, the principal occupation of the people of a town which for a time was the largest in Florida. The nature of the business (for it came to be an extensive and well-regulated business) and human nature rendered any agreement between owner and salvor difficult if not impossible; hence, after 1828, every case was automatically taken before the district court which was established at Key West in that year almost wholly for the adjudication of these admiralty cases, and owners and masters of the wrecking …

Documents Relating To El Destino And Chemonie Plantations, Middle Florida, 1828-1868. Part Iii, Kathryn T. Abbey
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of the most interesting as well as the most elusive aspects of El Destino life was the mill plant. A few years after George Noble Jones came into possession of his Florida holdings, he undertook to establish his own mills. The facilities for the project were near at hand, for the plantation was heavily wooded and water-power was available from Burnt Mill Creek and the St. Marks River, both of which flowed through his property. By 1850 the enterprise had been started ; it consisted of a dam, of somewhat imposing size for its day and locality, and a …
