An enslaved woman in the household of Don Ramon Santiago in Pensacola, Florida.
Race is recorded as negra.
Appears in the 1817 baptismal record of her daughter, Francisca Agustina, from St. Michael’s Parish (Spanish Pensacola). Father was listed as unknown in baptismal record (this usually meant the father was unwilling or unable to acknowledge the child).
Ramon Santiago was a shopkeeper born in Spain. At the time of the 1820 Spanish census of Pensacola, no one else was enumerated in the household with him (though that census did not enumerate enslaved people).
