:Almost positive it was Jefferson Davis. However, [[Lee Street]] was not named from the General, but for [[William Franklin Lee]], a surveyor who married into the Lloyd family (thus the two streets' proximity).--[[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:35, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
::CORRECTION: According to [[John Appleyard]]'s pamphlet, "Pensacola: How Its Streets Got Their Names," there was a Davis family that owned a lot of land around the street, so the road colloquially earned the name "the Davis Highway."--[[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:37, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
::Ah ha... Any other good information in that pamphlet? '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 14:02, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
