The next entry is a paragraph describing a personal request by Benjamin Drake for a passport made to Governor Miro on the same date.


Sharolynn, or anyone with access to this book, would you please look at page 13? I found this book at the East Tennessee Historical Society in Knoxville TN last spring. I failed to notice there was a second listing for a JACOB PYAT on the same page, but in the first column, as a single man. The heading for this left column of page 14 is on page 13 which I did not copy. Knowing the heading for this section, date and location of request, would help determine if there were one or two Jacob Piatts requesting passports to travel in Spanish Territory. Thanks.
