I represent Richard Seamark. I was a native of England and member of the Church of England. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British colonial period. My name appeared on a listing of inhabitants of the town for February 1780, where I was identified as a shopkeeper. Whether it was an item I sold or whether the army was renting space from me to store it, I had 30 barrels of gunpowder in my house when the Spanish attacked Pensacola in early 1781. I attempted to move them up the bay for safekeeping, but the Spanish caught up with me and seized it all for their own use. I was on the list the Spanish made of householders remaining in Pensacola at the time of the capitulation in May 1781.
