Francisco (Noriega)

I represent Francisco, an enslaved mulato man in the household of Victoire LeSassier. I was confirmed in Pensacola on May 7, 1798, by the Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas, Rev. Luis Peñalver y Cardenas. My mother Genoveva, is listed in the record. I was listed in Victoire LeSassier’s 1830 complaint of divorce from Don Pedro de Alba as being 20 years old, though this probably referred to my age in 1813, when the late Don Jose Noriega’s property was divided between Victoire and her son.
