Margarita Peñalver

I represent Margarita Peñalver, a blanca girl born in Pensacola around 1810. My parents were Manuel (a native of Granada, Spain) and Juana Josepha Antonia Benites Peñalver (born in New Orleans). At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 6 years old. I lived with my parents and six siblings; my father made his living as a sailor.
