Abstract
This account of Denys Rolle and his attempt at colonization in Florida is based on forty-three contemporaneous documents preserved in the Public Record Office, London,- letters and reports of Governors Grant and Tonyn to the Lords of Trade and Plantations,. to the Earl of Shelburne and to Lord Hillsborough; memorials of Rolle, and his letters to the governor and the secretaries; Acts of the Privy Council; private letters; etc. Copies of these papers were secured from London by Mrs. Corse and given to the library of the Florida Historical Society where they may be seen; hence it is considered unnecessary to cite the source of each statement made. Three of these documents follow this article. Others may be published here when space is available.
