K ENNEDY ARQUIS JAMES, in his biography of Andrew Jackson, al- M luded to John Forbes and Company, a firm which had succeeded Panton, Leslie and Company in 1804, and asserted that members of the Forbes enterprise “remained the actual rulers of Florida.” Among its members in 1804 were James In- nerarity and his brother John. Of the latter, Marquis wrote: “Like a white shadow, John Innerarity glided through the weav- ing labyrinth, never on the losing side.“1 Another scholar con- tended that individuals connected with both companies “were influential with the governments under which they lived, and exercised unmeasured control over the Indian tribes with which they dealt.“2 Both judgments may incline somewhat toward hyperbole, but they also give some inkling as to why these firms, which operated in the southeastern Spanish borderlands in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, have been the subject of substantial scholarly research and writing.3 The activities of James and John Innerarity were most pro- nounced in the period of John Forbes and Company, during which the brothers, especially John, sometimes came under se- vere censure. During the course of the War of 1812, for exam- ple, a British officer complained bitterly, “The Mayor of Mobile [James Innerarity] has a brother in this town [Pensacola]. His name is [John] Innerarity. I have found him a great scoundrel Thomas C. Kennedy is professor of history, University of Wyoming. 1.

[and] a great traitor.“4 In 1821, in the midst of a legal dispute involving Forbes and Company, Andrew Jackson informed Sec- retary of State John Quincy Adams, “the arts, the influence, the wealth, the power of no individual, not even of [John] Innerarity himself, could any longer obstruct the pure channels of justice.”5 With these “mixed reviews” in mind, this study proposes to examine the careers of James and John Innerarity and the le- gacy they bequeathed, as stewards of a commercial empire, to the history of the Gulf coast in the early nineteenth century. Their story begins in the revolutionary/independence period of the United States in the late eighteenth century, and revolves around the person of the Scotsman William Panton. This mer- chant has been described as “a typical late-18th century British entrepreneur with special gifts for reaping personal gain from the demands of high politics.“6 The Scotch Innerarity clan be- came joined with Panton’s family in 1776 when William’s sister, Henrietta, married John Innerarity. Of their five children, two were sons born in Scotland: James (b. August 18, 1771), and John, Jr. (b. November 11, 1783). Both would follow their father to the New World in association with Panton, Leslie and Com- pany, and then John Forbes and Company.7 In 1792 John Innerarity, Sr., was stationed at one of his brother-in-law’s trading posts at San Marcos de Apalache in East Florida.

SMITH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Roger C. Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

    COVER British East Florida reached from the St. Marys River on the north to the Apalachicola River on the west and its capital stood at St. Augustine. The province of West Florida extended westward to the Mississippi River and to the thirty-first parallel on the north (and after 1764 to thirty-two degrees twenty-eight minutes). Pensacola served as its capital.

Canella, courtesy of Daniel L. Schafer and www.unfedu.floridahistoryonline, digitally manipulated. LOWER SJR REPORT 2016 Preface The State of the River Report is the result of a collaborative effort of a team of academic researchers from Jacksonville University, University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA, and Florida Southern College, Lakeland, FL. The report was supported by the Environmental Protection Board of the City of Jacksonville and the River Branch Foundation. The purpose of the project is to review various previously collected data and literature about the river and to place it into a format that is informative and readable to the general public. The report consists of four parts – the website (http://www.sjrreport.com), the brochure, the full report, and an appendix. The brochure provides a brief summary of the status and trends of each item or indicator (i.e., water quality, fisheries, etc.) that was evaluated for the river. The full report and appendix were produced to provide more to those interested. In the development of these documents, many different sources of data were examined, including data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, St. Johns River Water Management District, Fish and Wildlife Commission, City of Jacksonville, individual researchers, and others.
