I represent John Simpson. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British colonial period, and I was a tavern keeper. I was married to Mary Simpson, and we had five children: Thomas, Sarah, and John were all baptized on July 14, 1768; Francis was baptized on December 6, 1768; and Andrew was baptized on December 16, 1770. The last two were probably baptized as infants. I appear in the 1767-1768 ledger books of Pensacola merchants Richard and Caleb Carpenter having purchased sugar, soap, and rice. My name is on the list the Spanish made of Pensacola householders still in the town at the time of capitulation in May 1781, so my family were long-time settlers.
