Francisco Simon

I represent Francisco Simon, a blanco man born in Pensacola. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 67 years old and single. I lived with Maria Candelaria, a free parda woman who worked as a seamstress. We had three children. Families of mixed ethnicity like ours were quite common in Spanish West Florida, as the Spanish did not have the same social taboos as Anglo-American society. I made my living as a fisherman.
