==Peter Chester's arrival==
Campbell's [http://ia311206.us.archive.org/1/items/historicalsketch00camprich/historicalsketch00camprich.pdf 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 [http://fulltextt10.fcla.edu/DLData/CF/CF00000019/CF00154113/19_3/19no3.pdf 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. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 11:38, 22 March 2009 (CDT)
==Johnstone's departure==
Ugh. The same two sources disagree on Johnstone's departure. ''Historical Sketches of Colonial Florida'' claims Johnstone ''resigned'' in December 1766, while the 1941 ''FHQ'' article claims Johnstone was ''dismissed'' in February 1767. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 11:41, 22 March 2009 (CDT)
