Pvt. John Dean

I represent John Dean. I was a private in 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 on May 1, 1767. I probably still lie buried in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
