I represent Felix Vicente Forneret, a free pardo boy born in Pensacola in 1818. I was baptized by Father Coleman at St. Michael’s on January 30, 1819, though my father was not named. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 3 years old. I lived with my mother, Angelica, a free quadroon woman who worked as a seamstress, and my 8 siblings.
