Abraham Pringle

I represent Abraham Pringle. I lived in the Escambia River District, which included both banks of the Escambia River from the Alabama line into present day Santa Rosa County, about 25-40 miles north of Pensacola as it existed in 1820. My household was part of an Anglo-American population that settled and farmed land in Spanish territory without permission of the Spanish government, but which was tolerated because it supplied Pensacola with produce. At the time of the 1820 census of the Escambia River District, I was 44 years old and married to Mary Pringle. We had 6 sons between 4 and 16 years old. Our household included 6 enslaved Black people. We lived on a large farm with cattle and hogs.
