First Battallion of PA. Loyalists in Havana, Cuba

During the American Revolutionary War, the First Battallion of Pennsylvania Loyalists commanded by William Allen and Joseph Swift, were based in Pensacola, Florida. After the Battle of Pensacola where the Spanish defeated the British and took them prisoner, they left Pensacola on the Spanish fleet on June 5, 1781, and they stayed in Havana, Cuba for 10 days, before leaving to take the prisoners to Long Island, New York. Some of the prisoners had their wives and children with them. Among the prisoners were Musco Wright and William Grier. Are there any records in Havana, Cuba concerning these persons and their short stay in Cuba? Was there possibly a listing of the names of the prisoners and their wives and children? Any help would be very much appreciated.
