Inscription. A native of Aberdeen, Scotland, John Innerarity was the nephew of Spanish Pensacola's leading merchant William Panton. He arrived in Pensacola in 1802 to become managing clerk of the Panton, Leslie and Co. trading post. However, his uncle had died in 1801, and he entered the employ of the company's successor John Forbes and Company. He married Victoria, the daughter of Captain Marcos de Villiers of the Louisiana Infantry Regiment. The Spanish government granted Innerarity a large tract of land on Perdido Bay in 1815.
