I represent Peter Swanson. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British period. I was a merchant. I and John McGillivray operated trading businesses out of Mobile and Pensacola, though the partners involved changed according to everyone’s convenience. Miller & Swanson was an important trading house that operated out of Pensacola for a time. I was also involved in a partnership with William Struthers. In was elected to represent Mobile in the House of Commons for the provincial General Assembly for its last session in 1778. I was on the Spanish list of householders remaining in Pesnacola at the capitulation in May 1781, so I would have theoretically been a prisoner of war at that time. By March 1782 I was back in business, in London.
