Penn, NH, NY, NJ, Del., NC, SC, VA, MD., Mass., Maine, GA, R.I. ... and ready for this? ... East Florida and West Fla, aka Seminole. Ceded to Britain by Spain in the 1763 Treaty of Paris. England took those 2 "colonies" due to Spanish interference on behalf of the French in the 7 years or French and Indian War.
East Fl. was basically the fort of St Augustine and a small surrounding community. When it was consumated the Spanish pulled out leaving behind as few as 8 to 10 Spaniards with wives or Mestizos, but nonetheless a British Governor was appointed to the colony and tried to make a go of it as a port and trading way station. It was unsuccessful and the British ceded it back without fanfare when they left after the Revolution.
West Fl was unsettled except for a few fur and game hunters and trading posts. It was so sparsely populated it was commonly known as Seminole and also abandoned by the British after the war.
Spain reclaimed both and tried to re-settle Ft Augustine but it proved to be more trouble than it was worth and ceded it to the US in 1820.
