Innerarity, John, 1783-1854

John Innerarity was the representative in Pensacola, Fla., of the mercantile house of John Forbes and Co. of Mobile, Ala., which succeeded the firm of Panton, Leslie and Co. Alexander McGillivray is said to have been a silent partner in both firms, which specialized in the Indian trade. The Forbes firm was controlled by the Innerarity brothers, James and John, and by John Forbes, though James seems to have managed the firm as well as his own cotton plantation.
