-2- Perez..




When the Spaniards left in 1763, Fish shows this
entry in his Account Book...JUAN PEREZ de la '4ata(no entry)
No. 1.....

Moncrief Map 1765 shows Fish holding this area(possibly for
Perez de la Mata)



This was the southeast corner of Charlotte and Paniagua lane
(now Treasury Street)

It locked like an L-shaped affair.

Escritiras: 184, 1785 gives Fish selling this place to
JOSEPHA D ESPINOSA. After the Spaniards returned.


Josepha de Espinosa was returning home....for she was
a native of St. Augustine.

Sister to the man who occupied the other corner in 1763 on
Puente, Francisco de Espinosa, No. 211, Puente. "P".
TODAY THIS IS THE SIrE OF 'HE SNOW HO..E facing the bay.

Josepha was also sister of Antonia Espinosa, Mrs. Jose Sanchez
de Ortigosa, Jr.

When she returned to Florida she brought her Sanchez nephews and
nieces and they were living with her(and her brother, Sebastian
de Espinosa) in 1786(presumably in the very house she bought
in 1785) on the Census of that year, 1786, No. 1 of the FLORIDANS
Counting her brother, her six Sanchez relatives, we have 8 in
this house in 1786.

Then one of the Sanchez nephews, Bernadino, gets the house as
on the Map of 1787, Rocque, he owns the house and rents it
to Juan Josef de la Toro. So. 17, No. 127. 1788.


If you look at the sketch of Treasury Street, 1763, No. 203, "0"..
you will see listed Rosalia Ponce de Leon. 3he married Juan del Tor
and this was their son, Juan Josef de la Toro, returned to his
homeland once more. See Census 1793, No. 19 for his parentage.
