'''George Touart''' was a man who lived in [[Escambia County]] in the 1820s, shortly after its transfer from Spain.
Touart was accused, along with men named [[J. Davis]] and [[E. Foster]], of trying to sell a free woman of color into [[slavery]]. [[Escambia County Sheriff]] [[William Davison]] served the papers in the case. The woman, originally from Camden, South Carolina, was defended by attorney [[A. Bell]], who helped win her freedom with the testimony of a former white acquaintance who recognized her.
