Doña Maria Gonzalez

I represent Doñ Maria Gonzalez, a blanca girl born in Pensacola. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 10 years old. I was a daughter of the rancher Manuel Gonzalez, a Spaniard, and our house outside of town was where General Andrew Jackson and his troops camped when he first arrived in the area. Our household was large and consisted of my parents and 8 siblings, including two who were married and had small children.
