Born around 1820. Race is not recorded.
Baptized by Father Diego de Alcala Vasquez at St. Michael’s Parish (Spanish Pensacola) on October 7, 1820; (Father Diego forgot to record his birthdate, so it has been estimated as being within the same year as his baptism.) Mother was Catarina, a morena woman enslaved in the same household. Father was listed as unknown in baptismal record (this usually meant the father was unwilling or unable to acknowledge the child).
