Represented by Carlos Villegas

I represent Lt. Mariano Latady, an officer in the Spanish Military. I was one of the officers asked to stay behind and assist former Spanish governor Jose Callava in completing the transition of power. I was among the officers who publicly protested the rude treatment of Governor Callava during the Vidal affair and was ordered deported by General Andrew Jackson. My wife, Emerante Krebs, and my fifteen-year-old son, Eugenio, remained behind in Pensacola. I died in Cuba in 1845. My son later married and had two son, Eugene and Albert.
