An enslaved woman in the household of Antonio Villaverde in Pensacola, Florida.
Race is recorded as Black.
Appears in Villaverde’s 1821 will in which he manumitted Suckey and another enslaved woman, Diana, “and their two black children” without specifying which woman is the mother of whom. The will also ratifies the previous manumission of two mulatto boys, Manuel and Francisco, children “of said woman” (again, without specifying which woman), but it is not clear that Manuel and Francisco are the same “black children” mentioned earlier or if they are two different children.
No deeds of manumission for the women or the boys have been found.
