William Gordon, Esq.

I represent William Gordon, Esq. (The “Esq.” indicates I was a gentleman and not an officer of the military). I was on the staff of the garrison of Ft. George at the surrender on 10 MAY 1781, identified as the Assistant Deputy Commissary – that meant I was involved in acquiring supplies and getting them where they needed to go. That I was on this list means I became a prisoner of war of the Spanish.
