Don Nicholas Lopez

I represent Don Nicholas Lopez, a blanco man born in Pensacola. I was confirmed in Pensacola on May 7, 1798, by the Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas, Rev. Luis Peñalver y Cardenas. The confirmation record lists me as the son of Maria Victoria Calder and Nicolas Lopez. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 22 years old and worked as a silversmith. I lived in the household of my brother, Don Ciriaco Lopez, and his wife and child. Also in the household were two other brothers, and our widowed brother-in-law, Don Francisco Moreno and his two children.
