5.- The Memorial of Wm. Watson.

.... That in June 1779 he bought the lot of land in St. Augustine of Mr. Penman had con-
veyance of it from him, but the purchase was not registered.

That there was at the time of purchase a range of stables which he converted into a
dwelling house. It was about 80 feet long and 20 feet wide, seven rooms and one story
high besides which he built another dwelling house 32 feet long 20 feet wide 18 high
which was a wooden framed house glazed short shingled in part lined and two stories high.
A large wooden back store 30 feet long 18 wide and 10 feet high one story high shingled
s in the same manner one for four horses and another for 3.

\ That he gave 1 400 as the origl. purchase money, laid out4- 210 in converting the stable
into a dwelling house and building a new /g877 stable for it. That the other dwelling'
LW house and stable cost him nearly .4 300 and the other back store about 4- 150. That he left
this lot and houses under the care of Mr. Camps with directions to sell them; That has
not heard from him since the summer of 1784; he then wrote word that he could not get
1/ i4th. part of their value; That he don't know whether they were afterwards sold or not;
S but he has never received any consideration for it.

(From the Engineer Francisco Cortizar to Governor Don Jose Coppinger)
After having gone, according with the order of Your Lordship of March 14, of this
year, through the buildings of the King 4hab exists in this Plaza and that could be
used to serve as Provisional Military Hospital, I say to Your Lordship that I did not
find any one that could offer more facility and economy in order to have this purpuse
that the one that have served until now for the convalesce; its extension gives acco-
modations for 30 beds that are suitable in the same order to get better distribution,
assigning the first saloon at the entrance for the officers and the other three saloons
for the troops and the rest of the rooms such as garret and those that form the tens-
rior shed of the same building would serve for the linen, pantry and other a 0 ,
without having to make additional constructions, but only a little clearing and IA11
ning.

/ Bl. 28, lot 2. Page 2.

Adjoining to i is the Pharmacy and the rest that have been saved from the Hospital
that was there, such as the kitchen with the partition for the prisoners, and others;
these circumstances show that they must be preferred over the others, in which it woulc
be necessary to begin with the partitions and to make costly repairs and construction
to be able to ise it. They cannot be applied to any other building because of the
long distance that sepf-ate theri and for absolute peed thkt there is of thefr exis-
tence in this Kind of nlace and in their sorrounding:i this is why although the Ware-
house of the Rlcy,1 Treesury that has a less extensionkWould be the best because of
its situation and good st,ate I don't think so because it does not have the proper
space, and in order to make it, it is necessary to start costly work that must be
considered absolutely necessary and that for thht reason they have to be done inme-
diately.
The same could be said about other buildings of the King, particularly about the
St. Francis Convent and the house of the government, which in my opinion are the best
conditioned and situated for the purpose aimed, but their budgets sent to the higher
authority on Oct. 13, 1816, ana April 21, 1817, say clearly how much it is necessary
to do in order lo chanRge them, and that is why I am sending to Your Lornsbip the study
cf what is needed for repair of the fore mentioned building, as the only one I think
will fit the double purpose of low cost and fastest time to repair.
Cod 're Your Lord i np many years.

To be informed by the Major Engenear (Sg.) White.

The map of the city that shows that for the formation of the Main Plaza
should continue the line of the house where lived Captain of the
Grenadiers, Don Ginks Olivat following to the E. until reaching the
line of the street in which lives Dn. Francisco Fatio, remaining by this
mean, after the houses had been built, forming the front of the Plaza that
faces theS. and as the lot solicited by the supplicant has enough exten-
sion to build two houses building one in the following of the line of the
street of the Hospital giving its widest front to the Plaza, and another to
the end that joins with the street of Dn. Francisco Fatio, in the same way
with its widest front at the same place will beautify much more than if
would only one be built and the rest of the lot would be fenced.

(If you think to give this lot it would result in some day that if the

inconvenience as the floor of the house where the pharmacy is higher than

going up and in the case of doing it the street would be with this-ipar-
fection and perhaps it would be a bother to the going of carriages because
the street is too narrow in this part.

No. 76 To the Governor

- Dn. Antonio Katanzas, graduate captain and only assistant of this Presidio
with function of Sargento Mayor with much respect makes present to Your
Lordship that he finds himself in need of a lot to build a house where to
live and having news that the one between the Plaza and the rooms of the
PHarmacy and the accountant for the Hospital is going to be given, I ask for
it although it be a half in case it could not be the whole.

Favor that I hope to have from the known Justice of Your Lordship.

St. Augustine, Oct. 1st, 1798.

rThe" lot, on which to build a house, solicited from Your Lordship by
Captain Mayor Assistant of this Presidio, Dn. Antonio Matanzas, was given
7-,Ay' V-e- by your Lordshi- by. Decree of 26 of the last month (Sept.) to Dn. Thomas'
Traver and in the writing last'oresented to your Lordship asking for it and
vi/- was given the Decree of Your Lordship to be informed, I made it saying' that
-L-'.7VO ..-.. for the formation of the Plaza must be continued the line of the house' where
lives Cantain of the Grenadiers, Dn. Gines Oliva, following to the beach
to join the line of the street where Dn. Francisco Fatio lives, saying as
well that instead of one house as Traver had proposed to build would be built
two in order to give the lot enough extension building one following the
line of the street of the Hospital giving its widest front to the Plaza and
building the other to the end that joins with the street of Fatio; and as
.?.^ '~./.,z the other, with its widest front to the Plaza with the end to avoid fences
r'O r- that in any way contribute to its beautifying, adding what I thought properly,
A2f>/7 to make a provisional street to the back to give communication to the
comptrollership and Pharmacy of the King in order to excuse expenses to open
new doors for these offices'. That this is what I can inform Your Lordship
to fulfill your prior order in order to serve your Lordship to determine
what would be pleased you. St. Augustine, Oct. 1, 1798

STORY OF PRESENT BLOCK 28, WHICH WAS ON ROCQUE MAP, BLOCK NO. 22

AND ON PUENTE NAP, BLOCK S.

1. On 176h, Puente Map shows:

No. 235 Houses of masonry of the property of Dn. Ildefonso
Sanchez

This small block was entirely occupied by Ildephonse
Sanchez de Casahonda. There were two houses, one on
Hospital Street and one on Charlotte. To the north
was the little Plaza which today is an extension of
the block. And north of that ...the Central Plaza.

To the south was the cross street now known as
Artillery Lane. Don Ildefonso was across from the
Royal Hospital and Don Alvaro Lopez de Toledo.

Lineage of 1st Spanish owner: Sanchez-Casahonda--

Ildephonso was the son of Sebastian Sanchez de
Casahonda and Ana Maria de Leon. He was born Feb. 2,
1718 and his parents were married Oct. 3, 1715.

By virtue of his mother he was grandson of Juan Josef
de Leon and Ana Maria de Florencia.

Also because of this he was great grandson of the elder
Don Lorenzo Josef de Leon, No. 2 on the Ruined House
list of 1702.

Ildefoneo married Oct. 27, 17h6, his fourth cousin,
Cecelia Elizio de la Puente, sister of the mapmaker.

She was the daughter of Antonio Elixio de la Puente
and Augustina Regidor. They were married two days after
Xmas, 1719.

Augustine Regidor was the daughter of the Adj. Geronimo
Regidor and Antonia de Arguelles.

Cecelia's grandmother (Arguelles) and her husband's
great grandmother (Arguelles) were sisters.

In addition to marrying the sister of the map maker,
Ildefonso saw his own sister, Mariana Sanchez de
Casahonda, marry this man, Don Juan Elixio de la
Puente..(Map and Plan of St. Augustine 1763/6h)

/.2-

[STORY OF BLOCK 28--P. 2)

This was a very fine family. Connected with the
top families in the town at that time. Mrs. Sanchez
Casahonda's sister, another Elixio de la Puente,
married Antonio Lopez de Toledo, son of Alvaro
(across the street).

Although Puente wrote Number 236 on Block ,"S,, such
number belongs to Block "T", in which he repeated
Number 238, also written on Block "V" to which it
really belongs. So, Block "S" has only one number:
235.

2. On 1765, Moncrief Map shows three houses on the block and the name Mr.
Rogers is written on it.

3. The Fish account books, on Puente #235 says: "No entry."

and Houses which the Claimant bought of Mr. Penman That the Claimant,
immediately afterwards began repairing &altering the Buildings. That.
the Claimant likewise built a.NewH-Huse which e finished about Eight.

Mr. David Yeats, Witness, Sworn, says:

That he never was upon of of /su/ the Claimant's
Tract of Land. That he knows his property in St. Augustine. That the
Claimant /h95/ purchased the Lot there of Mr. Penman & immediately
afterwards converted a New range of Stables into Rooms & built another

the Country had been kept subsequent to it the Lot & buildings upon
it would have been worth at least .1000

That he stayed in East Florida 'till the last Evacuation
