Juanillo (Vilaseca)

I represent Juanillo, born around 1813 to a woman of color enslaved in the household of Don Tomas Vilaseca. Don Tomas was a shopkeeper from Cataluña, Spain. My race was recorded as negro.

He sold me in April 1823 to Don Ramon Santiago who, in his will of August 1823, names me among his property as being 10 years old.

On 8 September 1823, Don Ramon Santiago signed his will, enumerating me among the worldly goods he left to Don Juan de la Rua.

In January 1824, Don Juan de la Rua sold me to Adelaide Tallasco, a free woman of color. She left me in her 1832 will to Henry Michelet, where my trail is lost.
