→Our version and the City Clerk's version
There are several more important discrepancies, though:
*According to our existing list, [[Benjamin Drake Wright]] served as mayor in 1828-1829 AND 1841-1842. According to the Clerk's version, he served ONLY in 1841.<span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 18:12, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:*I will note that Wright's bio in Clay's ''History of Escambia County'' '''does''' mention his election in 1841 but '''does not''' mention a prior election. It does state, "in 1829 he was President of the Board of Aldermen of Pensacola."
*The Clerk's version accounts for that 1828-1829 time by stating that [[John Jerrison]], the previous mayor, served throughout that time.

:::I wonder if Mr. Appleyard's new history of the City (which I've been meaning to get my hands on) addresses any of this? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 18:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Any more thoughts on this, Admin? I am inclined to use the most current document provided by the City Clerk, which would result in [http://www.pensapedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mayor_of_Pensacola&diff=15121&oldid=15033 these changes], but I will go whichever way you want. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 03:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
