has abstract
  • Juan José Eligio de la Puente y Regidor (1724–1781) was a Spanish Floridian (Floridano) who held various public offices in St. Augustine, Florida (San Agustín de la Florida) and in Havana, Cuba, during the 18th century. He served as chief officer of the Real Contaduría for Spanish Florida, and as principal auditor for the Tribunal de Cuentas in Havana, offices that managed the colonial governments' accounts and expenditures. Puente was a member of St. Augustine's 18th century elite Criollo community, and had a role in many events of that period in the history of Florida. He acquired considerable wealth, became a royal treasury official in Cuba, and influenced Spanish foreign policy in North America. In the autumn of 1762, when St. Augustine was bereft of supplies during the war between England and Spain, part of the global conflict of the Seven Years' War, a ship's captain called Jesse Fish, a Scottish Catholic merchant from Charles Town called John Gordon, and de la Puente had smuggled provisions in from South Carolina to prevent the settlement from starving. The years 1763 and 1764 are the best documented of his life. He held the position of Chief Officer of the Royal Accountantcy (Oficial mayor de la Real Contaduría), or chief auditor of Florida, and is best known as the land agent appointed by the Spanish Crown to sell the real estate of the Floridanos who left the province en masse at the end of the first Spanish period in La Florida. De la Puente's actions as a land agent, however, were only a small part of his distinguished career of thirty years in military and civil service of the Crown. (en)
