Peter Chester's arrival

Campbell's Historical Sketches of Colonial Florida (1892) pegs the arrival of Peter Chester in 1772, while Clinton Howard's article "Colonial Pensacola: The British Period, Part II", appearing in the January 1941 FHQ, puts the date at 1770. I'm inclined to go with the latter, but I wanted to record the existence of a source with alternate information. — dscossontalk  11:38, 22 March 2009 (CDT)
