I represent Samuel Kerry. I was a sailor aboard HMS Port Royal. The Port Royal was a sloop captured from the French in 1778. It spent 1780 and 1781 patrolling the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. I died in Pensacola on January 18, 1781, which would have been about the time the Spanish invasion of Pensacola began, but no cause of death was given.
