George Chapman

I represent George Chapman. I was a soldier of His Majesty’s 31st Regiment of Foot, an infantry regiment stationed at the garrison of Pensacola. We arrived in 1765 and immediately suffered immense losses due to diseases like yellow fever and dysentery. My cause of death is not noted in the records, but I died at Pensacola on February 17, 1769. I probably still lie buried in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
