An enslaved male in the household of Don Manuel Bonifay.
Race is recorded as mulato.
Confirmed in Pensacola on May 7, 1798, by the Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas, Rev. Luis Peñalver y Cardenas. Mother was Maria Rosa, a negra woman enslaved in the same household. Because the Bishop visited the area so infrequently, young people and converts of all ages were confirmed whenever the opportunity arose; thus, his age at the time cannot be estimated.
