Notes:

Left Virginia around 1770 and settled in the Villa Gayoso District of the Mississippi Territory, which later became Jefferson County.(From http://www.ehistory.com/local/gulfcoast/escambia/books/britishwestflorida/0020.cfm this narrative: ".....One typical group, led by Daniel Huay, included 79 white people and 18 slaves; the Huays came out of Pennsylvania and down river via Ft. Pitt in 1770. In the same year a Mr. HOLT, representing settlers from western Virginia, received Council approval for settlement of over 100 families on ten miles of land near the Mississippi.
A map of territory about 1773 names him with the first six settlers of the area. This area was still sparsely settled in 1778 when the British delivered it by treaty to Spain. Inhabited in the main by Tories still loyal to the English throne, the area finally became a possession of the United States in 1798, at which time there were 130 setters in the county, including the Holt family.

From every circumstance we had not a right to expect such Terms and are fully impressed with the idea that we owe them to the unexampled bravery of you, the Officers and Men under your command. Altho' the unavoidable event of war has reduced you and your Troops to a situation which greatly affects us, yet we have some consolation from your being in the Hands of a brave and generous Conqueror".
