I represent William Cornwallis. I was a captain in the Royal Navy and at one time Commander of ships in the port of Pensacola. I was in command of the man-of-war HMS Prince Edward. I, too, managed to fall afoul of Governor George Johnstone’s jurisdictional frustration; in 1765, he tried to demand an accounting from me of the whereabouts of the Prince Edward and I had to set him straight about who I took orders form. I was the younger brother of the more famous General Charles Cornwallis, whose surrender at Yorktown ended the American Revolutionary War.
