Around 1995, I took some time off and researched my ancestors from Georgia. Georgia seems to have had a large number of Irish plus Scotch Irish. A lot of towns have Irish names.
One thing which got my attention was studying the American Revolution pension records. In applying for a pension they would name their outfit plus battles they were in.
A large number mentioned “The Florida Expedition” yet I have never heard of it mentioned in history books.
See ‘Willing Expedition’ and the ‘Thomas Creek Massacre’.

St Augustine was critical to the Spaniards and apparently the Brits had a good foothold in that area.
