Changes

Commodore [[George Johnstone]] of the Royal Navy arrived at Pensacola in February 1764, becoming Pensacola's first British governor.<ref name="Campbell" /> Johnstone, though, became unpopular with settlers due to his faithful enforcement of unpopular British policies such as the [[Wikipedia:Stamp Act 1765|Stamp Act]]. He caused further discord with his policy of aggression toward Indians, and under pressure either resigned or was recalled in late December [[1766]] or early [[1767]]. <ref name="Campbell" /> The lieutenant governor, [[Montfort Browne]], served as governor until his replacement, [[John Eliot]], arrived. Eliot was delayed in England and did not arrive in Pensacola until [[1769]]. However, Eliot was affected by a strange malady, possibly a brain tumor, and committed suicide shortly after arriving in Pensacola. [[Elias Durnford]] served as governor until Eliot's replacement, [[Peter Chester]], arrived in [[1770]].
