Corcoles was appointed governor of FL
The king’s choice from the revised list was the talented engineer and soldier, Andres de Arriola, but he refused the office. The second candidate, Francisco de Corcoles y Martinez, then won the appointment and served as governor for eleven years. [Note: AGI, SD, L851. Consulta del Consejo de las Indias, 3/12/1705.]
