Ysabel Prieto

I represent Ysabel Prieto, a mestiza girl born in Pensacola. At the time of the 1820 census of Pensacola, I was 11 years old. I lived with my parents: Don Felipe Prieto, a Spanish civil servant, and Mariana Prieto, a mestiza woman. 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 had a brother, and also sharing our household was a German man named Federico Dayrlen whose relationship to us is not specified.
