An enslaved male in the household of Father James Coleman, priest at St. Michael’s parish church and Vicar-General of West Florida under the Spanish.
Race is recorded as negro.
Confirmed in Pensacola on May 7, 1798, by the Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas, Rev. Luis Peñalver y Cardenas. Because the Bishop visited the area so infrequently, young people and converts of all ages were confirmed whenever the opportunity arose; thus there is no way to estimate his age from this record.
No parents were listed in the confirmation record. Godfather was Francisco Sierra.
