AN490 …During the summer of 1812, as the Patriots seized Amelia Island and occupied plantations and forts on Florida's northern border, the governor ordered all subjects living in the countryside to come into town. Free black militiamen went out on patrols to scout the enemy and herd cattle back to St. Augustine to feed the hungry townspeople. The free mulatto militiaman Juan Antonio Florencio later testified that under the command of Sergeant Prince Whitten and Tony Doctor, the men gathered in forty to sixty head of cattle at a time.
