I represent William Johnstone. I was a Captain and Commander of the Royal Artillery for West Florida. I was also the younger brother of Governor George Johnstone. I found Pensacola’s defense works to be completely inadequate to withstanding enemy attack, and I made several petitions to leadership for more resources to improve the fortifications of the town and harbor of Pensacola. I was also a planter of substantial means, and I leased 30 enslaved people to the ordnance board of Pensacola during the siege in 1781. In March 1781, as the Maryland Loyalists struggled in a fight with the Spanish outside the fort, I came to the rescue with fieldpieces, a howitzer, and 50 Black soldiers. The Spanish withdrew. I married and English heiress, Frances Pulteney, and changed my last name to hers. I died in 1805, one of the richest men in England.
