"1821 Pensacola Sampler by Erin Renfroe. Here is a copied text from the first paragraph, The Sampler project was presented to the West Florida Genealogical Society by the 200th Anniversary Commission as a project that suited the skills and expertise of its members. The goal was to gather the identities of every person who might have been in Pensacola for the changing of the flags on July 17, 1821. At that time, the population of the Pensacola area numbered in the thousands, with a sizeable contingent of both American and Spanish military in town for the transfer of power." A few helped researched Pensacola surnames to help with the sampler 1821 project, Virginia Shelby, Past President of the West Florida Genealogy Society, and Erin Renfroe. Others may have helped with this current project. Credits given to the Pensacola News Journal and two names mentioned above.
