Florida's First Families

The translated and abstracted censuses presented in this work begin with 1786-the first year following the final British removal-and end with 1814 by which time the Anglo population was once again on the increase. None are complete: portions have been lost or destroyed; military personnel were omitted; and in some cases families inhabiting outlying regions were originally missed or passed over. The following censuses are covered: the 1786 census of St. Augustine and its perimeter; the 1787 census of householders in East Florida; the 1793 census of St. Augustine and North River; the 1813 census of St. Augustine St. John's and Fernandina; and the 1814 census outside St. Augustine. Three appendices offer readers: a table of abbreviations a table of name conversions and a table of untranslated terms. A full name index completes this work.
