Three Negroes belonging to a visiting Charleston merchant robbed a SA resident
In April, 1753, John Hume, a Charleston sea captain, sailed his Isabel into Saint Augustine harbor intending to recover three of his Negro slaves. Three years earlier Hume had called at the Florida capital (probably to sell his English wares), and during his stay the three Negroes had robbed a resident of the town. Governor Navarrete had summarily condemned the trio to three years at hard labor on the fortifications of Saint Augustine.
