original vendees, remunerations for public services + much more. The researcher will

vital tool, referring to it time and again.
I, Don Joseph Callava, knight of the military order of St. Hermenegildo, decorated
with the cross of distinction of the battle of Almocid, colonel in the royal
armies, and military and political governor of
the province of Wst Florida, & c …
Do certify that in the month of August last, Don Pedro de Alba prsented to me
a grant of land made to his father by the sub-delegation December 20, 1817, situated on
the opposite side of the bay, requesting that he might have a copy and that the original might
remain, as is customary, in evidence of the same in this public archive. But,
owing to the confusion of the papers in the months of December, January, and February
last, when an invasion was apprehended from the American troops, at which time
the archives of the province were carried with great precipitation to Fort St. Carlos
de Barrancas, it is presumable that the said original documents may have been mislaid
or mixed with other papers; and although the assistant witnesses have searched for them
by my order, they have not come to light amongst the archives.
In testimony whereof, I give the present certificate at his request, in order
that it may serve at all times, and before any tribunal whatever, as an evidence of
the unlucky accident which befell said original decree …. Pensacola, March 21, 1820 …
Signed by Joseph Callava
The claim of David McCaleb, a citizen of the United States, for himself and the heirs
and legal representatives of Alexander McCullaugh, decreased, to lot No. 157,
in the city of Pensacola, is founded on a deed poll from Alexander McCullaugh,
deputy provost marshal, to Thomas Underwood, dated March 32, 1774, reciting that
the lot was granted to James Cavanaugh, and sold to satisfy a judgment against him.
(Continues with transfers of deed and basis of claim).
