'''Henri Peire''' ([[1778]]-[[1848]]) was the first [[sheriff of Escambia County]].<ref>Other records show a man named [[William Loftin]], a resident of the [[Oyster Bay]]/[[St. Andrews]] area (modern day [[Panama City]]) as being appointed sheriff of "Florida's Western District," another designation for the territory west of the [[Wikipedia:Suwanee River|Suwanee River]]. It is unclear if the "sheriff" title was exclusive to Loftin, but Peire was certainly the effective sheriff of the Pensacola area.</ref>
