An enslaved woman in the household of Don Pedro de Alba.
Race recorded as negra.
Confirmed in Ft. Barrancas on May 21, 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 her age from this record. Madrina was Mariana Bonifay. Parents were Julia, a negra woman, and Samuel, a negro man, both enslaved in the household of Lt. Col. Jose Noriega.
FAMILY:
Mother was Julia Noriega*
Father was Samuel Noriega*
