Juan José de Estrada was a military leader who served as the governor of East Florida from 1811-1812 and again from 1815-1816. Both of his terms were overwhelmed with tension from the Patriot War between the United States and Spain. In 1816 de Estrada was promoted and left Florida for Havana, Cuba.
