After a residence of nine years in the Bayou Sara region, William Barrow, a native of North Carolina, enjoyed considerable popu- larity on account of his wealth and worth. For this reason the Spanish authorities, despite his well known American proclivities, had not ventured to molest him. Early in June, Barrow wrote to his old friend, Dr. J. R. Bedford of Nashville, that he was greatly alarmed over the situation in West Florida. He feared their existing government was " quite done," and he had... little hope that the United States would take possession of the region. The people were divided in sentiment, with no able men to advise them. He asked Bed- ford to consult with " men of talents and honor " in his vicinity and give him the best advice possible. 26 Estevan to De Lassus, July i, 1810, enclosed in Folch to Someruelos, Aug. 29, 1810, Legajo 1561, Papeles de Cuba.
