I represent Antonio, an enslaved mulato man in the household of Pedro de Alba. I was confirmed in Pensacola on May 7, 1798, by the Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas, Rev. Luis Peñalver y Cardenas. Because the Bishop visited the area so infrequently, young people and converts of all ages were confirmed whenever the opportunity arose; thus it is not a given that I was a child at the time – especially as I have no parents named in the confirmation record.
The 1835 will of Don Pedro mentions a mulato named Antonio, child of the negra Felicite, who was freed in 1832, but that Antonio was born in 1831.
