Don Henry Michelet

I represent Don Henry Michelet, a European man born in Marseilles, France. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 45 years old. My occupation is listed as shopkeeper, though I was appointed an alderman by General Andrew Jackson in the new American city government of Pensacola after the transition of power. I shared my household with a free parda woman named Adelaide Tallasco. I was named as the Executor of Adelaide’s 1821 will. Several advertisements in The Floridian newspaper show I ran an auction house and sold all manner of property, including slaves.
