From the British Public Record Office Colonial Entry Book, Vol. 22, p. 227 is recorded the following:
"London, this 12th of Apr 1693 '....Wee have thought fitt to apoint Mr. Nicholas Trot (TRO-1) to be Governor of the Bahama Islands wth oders to correspond with you fore Jones sent such esctiavagant (sic) letters to all parts that he made both himself and us redicules.' "
This record is typed as written so you can get a flavor of the language and spelling used during 1693. Nicholas Trot (TRO-1) was to replace our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) as governor of the Bahama Islands dated April 12, 1693. From Cadwallader's (JO-1) appointment 14 November 1689 [arrives Bahama Island 19 June 1690] to the appointment of this "new" governor is roughly 3 years and 2 months. A lot of events certainly happened during this time. This post of course begins the pathway of government records which continues our story of Cadwallader Jones (JO-1).
