Robert Taitt

Man silhouette

I represent Robert Taitt. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British period. I was a magistrate and planter; I settled 550 acres on the Escambia River after coming from Grenada in the West Indies. I was elected to represent Pensacola in the House of Commons for the seventh and last provincial General Assembly in 1778. I appeared on the Spanish list of householders remaining in Pensacola at the time of the capitulation in May 1781, so I was theoretically made a prisoner of war at that time.
