Juan Perez

I represent Juan Perez, a European man born in Cartagena, Spain. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 44 years old. I was a carpenter, and I lived with Eulalia Garzon, who was listed as a parda woman but who was of Native American blood. We had 4 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.
