***********************************************************************
In 1783, The Treaty of Paris was entered and Britain relinquished East
Florida back to Spain. One of the first acts of the new Spanish government
was to take a census of all residents. Britain had governed East and West
Florida for only twenty (20) years between 1763 to 1783. During that 20
years colonists seeking land and trade came slowly into East Florida. These
settlers arrived from the other colonies as well as from the European
countries. During the American Revolution East Florida became a refuge for
colonists wishing to remain loyal to the British Crown during the American
Revolution. The Loyalists fled to East Florida from Georgia, North and
South Carolina, and many of the other colonies.
British Florida residents were given the option of remaining and retaining
their property provided they would become Spanish subjects by swearing
allegiance to the Spanish Crown and provided they would embrace the
Catholic religion by conversion. Their only other option was to leave
Florida and relinquish all rights to their land. The Treaty gave them 18
months to decide. Records in St. Augustine, Fla. are truly remarkable; some
go back to the 1500's. If you have ancestors in the Florida territories
(Spanish or British) you are lucky, indeed.
Notes on the Data. These records are available on microfilm from the
Florida State Archives in Tallahassee. This represents approximately
25% of the total census records.
I have chosen to present this data in the census order rather than in an
alphabetical sequence. It has been helpful for me to be able to see the
names of near neighbors and has allowed me to identify several ancestors in
spite of the variations on the spelling of names!
If a column is blank, it is because that information does not appear in the
census records. There may be errors in the extracted data; there are no
guarantees that the information herein presented is 100% accurate.
