Code entry
In 1698 the Crown approved a fourth cleric for the staff, an organist, at 200 ducats a year plus rations. A few days before the new organist, floridano Father Antonio Ponce de Leon, arrived, Moore's besieging force burned the church. Rather than lose the position, the treasury officials added it to the payroll anyway, reasoning that it was not the organist's fault that there was no organ. (Bushnell SS)
