Amy (de Alba)

I represent Amy, an enslaved woman in the household of Don Pedro de Alba. I am mentioned in the court documents associated with the divorce of Pedro de Alba and Victoire LeSassier as being a servant in the house of Don Pedro sometime around 1819 or 1820. He used to send me over to his wife when she requested Charlotte, her favorite servant, to wait upon her, saying Charlotte was busy. It was Mme. LeSassier’s belief that Don Pedro sent me instead to irritate her, and perhaps with sinister intent. I appear to have been sold to Don Henry Michelet in 1824 by an instrument in Escambia County Deed Book A, p. 269.
