I represent Celestino, a boy of color enslaved in the household of Don Juan Innerarity. I was baptized by Father Coleman at St. Michael’s on August 9, 1818, about 8 months after my birth on Christmas Day, 1817. My mother was Gertrudis, a mulata woman enslaved in the same household. I was born into slavery by virtue of her enslaved status. My father is listed as no conocido (unknown) – but that usually means that the man either did not want or was not able to acknowledge me.
