Maria Luisa (Ortiz)

I represent Maria Luisa, a negra woman enslaved in the household of Jose Ortiz. I appear in my son’s 1819 baptismal record from St. Michael’s. Miguel was born into slavery by virtue of my enslaved status, and his father was listed as no conocido (unknown), but that usually means that the man either did not want or was not able to acknowledge the child.
