Richard K. Call
Richard Keith Call (October 24, 1792 – September 14, 1862) was an American attorney and politician, the third and fifth territorial governor of Florida. Before that, he was elected to the Florida Territorial Council and as a Delegate to the U.S. Congress from the Florida Territory. In the mid-1830s, he developed two plantations in Leon County, Florida, one of several thousand acres. In 1860 he held more than 120 slaves and was the third-largest slaveholder in the county.〔(Thomas Blake, "Largest Slaveholders from 1860 Slave Census Schedules" ), Free pages, Rootsweb〕
==Early life and education==
He was born to William and Helen Meade Walker Call and was the nephew of Richard Call, a Revolutionary War hero.〔("Call and Brevard Family Papers" ), ''Florida Memory,'' State Library and Archives of Florida〕 Call was born in Pittsfield, Prince George County, Virginia. Shortly after 1800, his widowed mother brought her children and six slaves across the Appalachian Mountains into Kentucky. She eventually settled on land owned by her brother Senator David Walker in Russellville, Kentucky, where Call spent most of his remaining childhood. Following the death of his mother in 1810, Call settled nearby another uncle in Tennessee in order to receive a formal education. In 1813 he left college to take part in the Creek War, which occurred during the period of the War of 1812 with Great Britain. Call was the uncle of Wilkinson Call, who much later became a US Senator.
