The London Gazette is a small but very old newspaper and traditionally it is where the military publish information such as this. It is also where information on promotions, awards for gallantry and commissioning were reported, and this is still true today. The archive they have on line is quite comprehensive and useful for research purposes. I am also trying to get electronic copies of the documents that I have found from this period. I would be more than happy to forward these to any interested parties, assuming I'm successful.
:Chris: Here is a link to the ''Florida Historical Quarterly'' issue cited above so that you may read the article yourself: [http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/DLData/SN/SN00154113/0044_003/44no3.pdf http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/DLData/SN/SN00154113/0044_003/44no3.pdf]. Thanks again for all your info, it's very appreciated. We would love copies of anything you can get your hands on.<span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 18:08, 12 June 2009 (CDT)
Hello again, I have had a good look through the editions of the Florida Historical Quarterly that you mentioned. I found a mention of "Captain Johnstone a military gentleman of the council" in the list of homeowners recorded at the end of the siege of Pensacola in 1781. I think this is probably the commander of my unit (Captain William Johnstone). Do you know if there are any records that may show where where the individuals on this list may have lived? Chris
