THE SALCEDO HOUSE.
(Rocque 44)
This site belonged to. Alfonsa de Avero at the end of the First Spanish
Period (1763). She had a stone house on the lot which was situated on Calle
Real or what is now present-day Saint George Street. Alfonsa de Avero was
one of several sisters living on Saint George Street with their respective
families in 1763. One of her sisters was married to Don Raymundo. de Arrivas
and lived next door to the south. Another sister on Saint George Street Was
married to Joachin Blanco who held the post of Guarda Almacen de Municiones
y Petrechos and was therefore Keeper of the garrison's supplies. The sisters
and their families left, however, in 1763. The Treaty of Paris of 1763 ended
the French and Indian War, the last of the intercolonial struggles. Spai, in
order to get back Cuba which had fallen to the British during the war cedod
Florida to Great Britain. I
The site had several owners during the brief British Period (1763-1783).
Alfonsa de Avero's property was incorporated into a grant known as No. 3
Rainsford Block -- the grantee was Andrew Rainsford, a sawmiller and a
draughtsman in the British Army. He left the Province and the property was
sold to pay his debts. Thereafter it was owned by Thomas Stone, a Virginian
and a trader; Leonard Cecil, an Englishman; and Robert Johnston, a Loyalist,
who left Saint Augustine, which had become a Loyalist refuge, and went to the
Bahama Islands at the end of the British Period..
Pedro Jose Salcedo, Captain and Commander of the Royal Corps. of
Artillery bought the Rainsford Grant (Roc.que 44,45, 46) early in the Second
Spanish Period. He sold part of the grant (Rocque 45 and 46) in 1792 and
kept our site (Rocque 44) where he lived with his wife until his death on.
August 28, 1795, After his death his widow returned to Havana..
From January 20, 1796 until the end of May, 1796, a Negro General or
Caudillo Of the Auxiliary Troops of the Island of Santo Domingo lived in
the house. Thereafter, it was rented for a number of years.
Pablo Sabate, a Minorcan, bought the property in November, 1805. Sabate
who had come to Saint Augustine with the Minorcans in the British Period was
a farmer and fisherman in. his younger days. He acquired considerable property
during his eighty-some-year life which spanned the British, Second Spanish,
and American Periods.,

The Salcedo House
(Rocque 44)
This site belonged to Alfonsa de Avero at the end of the First Spanish Period
(1763). She had a stone house on the lot which was situated on Calle Real or
what is now present-day Saint George Street.
Alfonsa or Ildefonsa de Avero was the oldest of six daughters and one son
born to Victoriano de Avero, a Canary Islander, and his wife, Maria Francepca
(sometimes del Valle) Garcia de Asevedo of Saint Augustine. She was born
in Saint Augustine on February 14, 1713 -- her Godfather was Captain Don
Bernardo Nieto de Carvajal. Her six younger sisters were all born between
1715 and 1726 -- Juana (March 19, 1715), Antonia (March 3, 1717), Manuela
(April 25, 1719), Francisco Gabriel (August 29, 1721), Ursula (October 30,
1723), and Maria (January 17, 1726). The Royal Accountant, Don Francisco
Menendez Marques was a Godfather to several of the Avero children. Their
father, Victoriano de Avero, died in 1727 and his widow did not remarry until
1738 when she married Don Christoval de la Torre de Borjes, a native of
Port of del Principe in Cuba.
The year of Alfonsa de Avero's birth saw the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht
by the European colonial powers and brought some semblance of peace to the
troubled Southeast. The Treaty ended the conflict known in the New World as
Queen Anne's War and in the Old World as the War of the Spanish Succession
(ca. 1701-1714).
This conflict had brought devastation to Spanish Florida. Prior to the out-
break of the war, the Presidio had a population of about 1, 600 residents,
including some 350 military personnel, their families, the friars, a few
Royal officials, plus some Indians and Negroes. Many of the inhabitants
were Criollos (native-born Saint Augustinians of Spanish ancestory). The
Floridians had developed local sources of food supply such as cattle ranches
in outlying areas of the province. Their encroaching English neighbors,
how ever, came from Carolina in 1702 to lay seige to the Spanish Presidio.
The Floridians fled to the Castillo de San Marcos where they held out.
The English under Gqvernor James Moore of Carolina were unable to defeat
the Spaniards, but they destroyed much of the town, the ranches, and the
farms. Worst of all, perhaps, the English stirred up their Indian allies and
an ensuing decade or so of Indian depredations hindered the rebuilding of
Florida's farms and ranches and practically eliminated the local sources
of food supply for Florida which was reduced to the land within the lines and
under the cannon of the fort. The years immediately prior to Alfonsa de
Avero's birth were years of want and scarcity and strife with the nearby
English. After the Peace in 1713, conditions improved somewhat since,
strangely enough, the Floridians began to import much-needed supplies from
the nearby English colonies.
Alfonsa de Avero grew up in a period between two of the intercolonial wars,
a period in which the territory effectively controlled by the Spanish in the
Southeast had been considerably reduced from earlier times as. a result of
the struggle between England, France, and Spain for territory in North
America. On May 8, 1729, at the age of sixteen she married Fernando
-2-
Rodriguez de Cabrera, the son of Simon Rodriguez and Elena de Cabrera of
the Isle of Tenerife in the Canaries. They apparently had only one child who
died in 1731. Rodriguez himself died sometime between 1731 and 1734.
The young widow married Francisco Peres de la Rosa, a native of Saint
Augustine, on June 28, 1734. They had six children between 1736 and 1747 --
Estephania (?), Maria (January 6, 1736), Isadora (January'19, 1738), Juan
(December 2, 1740), Pablo Juan (July 2, 1744), Joseph Valentine (February 2p,
1747).
During the years when Alfonsa Avero de Perez de la Rosa was raising her
family, Spain and England were twice again at war in the Old World and the
New. The War of Jenkins' Ear which broke out in 1739 between Spain and
England merged into the war in Europe known as the War of the Austrian
Succession and in 1744 the entrance of France into the American phase of the
war developed into the struggle known as King George's War. This conflict
brought the English under James Oglethorpe to Spanish Florida in 1740 and
1742. Both times the English failed to take the Spanish Presidio.
The Southeast was relatively peaceful then for the next twenty years. The
Spanish Presidio at Saint Augustine traded increasingly with its English
neighbors and was probably better supplied than at any time in its history.
7
The population by 1763 totaled around 3, 000.
Several of the Avero sisters lived on Saint George Street by 1763. Alfonsa
de Avero's next door neighbor to the south was her sister Ursula de Avero.
-3-
This sister had married for the first time at the age of fifteen. At that time
she married an infantry lieutenant Don Diego Repilado, a native of Palermo,
Sicily born of Spanish parents from Estremadura. Ursula de Avero had
made a good catch -- he was both an officer and a peninsular. The couple
had five children -- Juan (September 4, 1739), Francisca (February 17, 1741),
Lucia (December 17, 1743), Maria Ana Rosalia (December 1, 1745), and
Joseph Felix (November 22, 1746). Between 1745 and 1748 Ursula lost two
children and her husband.
On August 16, Ursula de Avero married Raymundo de Arrivas, a native of
Arabelo. He too was both an officer and a peninsular. He was a Second
Lieutenant of the Second Infantry Company in 1752 and by 1759 was a First
Lieutenant drawing a sAlary of 528 pesos a year. They had seven children --
Francisco Xavier (March 25, 1749), Vicenta (April 7, 1751), Antonio (May 5,
1753), Ana Josepha (June 7, 1755), Josepha Maria (March 9, 1757), Manuel
(December 27, 1758), and Tadeo who was born in Havana in 1767. By 1763
they were living next door to Al6nsa de Avero and her family.
Across the street from Alfonsa and Ursula de Avero was a third sister
Juana de Avero. She was married for the first time on August 20, 1731, at
the age of sixteen to Simon de Morales. Morales was a native of Havana,
the son of a Canary Islander. They had apparently only one child who died
in 1732. Sometime, thereafter, Morales himself died.
On December 30, 1736, his widow married Geronimo de Hita y Salazar, a
soldier and a native of Saint Augustine and one of the thirty some grandsons
-4-
of Governor Pablo de Hita y Salazar. Geronimo de Hita was not a great
social success in a town where military rank was cf such importance. He
and his wife had six children -- Maria Basilia (December 28, 1736), Simon
(April 28, 1739), Francibca (April 9, 1742), Leocadia Maria (December 14,
1744), Eugenia ( ? ), and Maria Isabel (September 11, 1748).
A fourth sister, Antonia de Avero also resided on northern Saint George
Street. In fact, she and her second husband owned three houses here. Born
on March 3, 1717, Antonia de Avero married Captain Don Joseph Guillen, a
native of Cartagena on April 26, 1735. They had a large family, too, --
Rosa (December 12, 1736), Francisca (April 11, 1738), Barbara (December 5,
1739), Augustin (June 9, 174 ), Victoriana Isadora (April 21, 1743), and
Flora (A) who died unmarried in 1736. On December 20, 1743, Joseph
Guillen died.
The widow of Guillen married Joachin Blanco, a native of Avila, on March 25,
1753. Blanco held the post of Guarda Almacen de Municiones y Petrechos
and therefore had the duty of managing the garrison's supplies. Blanco thus
belonged to the "administrative elite" of Saint Augustine. The marriage
was a success in terms of social status at least for Antonia de Avero. She
and Blanco apparently had only one child born on February 26, 1755.
The four Avero sisters and their approximately two dozen children lived in
an area of "f airly decent" houses near the fort. The location of a house in
a Spanish colonial town indicated the social status of the owner. The most
desirable location was on the main square. However, it has been suggested
-5-
that the presence of the Castillo de San Marcos as the main structure in
Saint Augustine made the area near the fort the second most desirable lo-
10
cation.
The fort had successfully held out against the English in 1702, 1740,, and 1742,
but the Treaty of Paris in 1763 turned Florida over to Great Britain. The
Treaty ended thelast of the intercolonial struggles known in America as the
French and Indian War and in Europe as the Seven Years' War and brought
to an end almost a half century of colonial warfare. Spain had not entered
the war until January, 1762, and Spanish Florida held out even though the
colony was short of supplies since the English cut off the trade with their
Spanish neighbors. Cuba, however, fell to the English and in order to get it
back Spain sacrificed Florida.
The Saint Augustinians seem "Dissatisfied at St. Augustine's being given up."
But most of them left the colony. The population of some three thousand
evacuated the province leaving behind their homes. Some of the unsold
houses and lots were left in the care of Jesse Fish, an agent for the trading
company of William Walton in New York who had resided in Saint Augustine
for a number of years. Alfonsa de Avero's name does not appear in his ac-
c ounts, however.
-6-
The site had several owners during the brief British Period (1763-1783).
The first documented owner for this period is Captain Andrew Rainsford.
The British Government granted to him in 1767 lot and buildings known as
No. 3 Rainsford Block. The grant contained 6/10 of an acre -- its east
side forming part of Saint George Street, north skirting vacant land, west
Spanish Street, and South on vacant lots.
DeBrahm's "List of Inhabitants of East Florida, their Employs, Business
and Qualifications, from 1763 to 1771" shows that Rainsford was married, a
sawmiller, a draughtsmen in the army, and that he left the province. On
August 1, 1770, his grant was dold at auction by court order to pay his debts.
Rainsford apparently went to New Brunswick, where he became a resident
of that colony. After the Revolution, a Andrew Rainsford was Receiver -
General and Assistant Barracks master of that colony. He died in 1820 at
the age of eighty-six at Fredericton. Four of his sons supposedly held
i2-
military commissions in the British service at one time.
Thomas Stone bought Rainsford's grant at the 1770 auction. Stone was a
trader and lived in Saint Augustine. A Virginian and a Protestant, described
in Spanish records as a Luthera/j he was married to Maria Thompson. The
Stones had a son, Thomas Ranson Stone, born about 1768 in Virginia.
The son either stayed in Saint Augustine at the end of the British Period or
left and returned later. For Thomas Ranson Stone was baptized a Catholic
early in the Second Spanish Period (April 18, 1789) as was Sara Jones, a
-7-
native of Savannah, Georgia, and widow of Joseph Savi whom he married on
May 6, 1789. They had a son, Francisco Mateo del Rosario Stone, born
October 4, 1789, in Saint Augustine -- the grandson of the first Thomas
Stone from Virginia. The younger Stones do not appear in the 1793 Spanish
Census so they may have later left the province.
Thomas Stone Senior sold the property to Leonard Cecil on March 19, 1783.
Cecil was British. A Leonard Cecil of Maryland went to England and met
in July, 1779, in London with other Loyalists at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.
Whether this is the same Leonard Cecil is uncertain. In any event, Cecil
did not keep the property for very long at all. He sold it in April, 1783, to
Robert Johnston.
Robert Johnston was a Loyalist who left Saint Augustine at the end of the British
Period. He went to the Bahama Islands where he settled on Cat Island with
his thirty-four Blacks. Johnston presented a claim in the Bahamas for a lot
and 2 houses in Saint Augustine valued at f450 Os Od and sold for 115 13s 6d
at the time of the evacuation. His claim for the difference of { 3-34 6s 6d was
found valid.
East Florida had remained loyal to Great Britain during the Revolutionary
War. Samuel Adams and John Hancock burned in effigies in the Plaza after
the news of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence reached Saint
Augustine, and the colony soon became a Loyalist refuge. Loyalists flocked
to East Florida and swelled the population to an all time high of over 17, 000
before the Treaty that ended the War returned the colony to Spain and most
of the British left. The Minorcans, who had come to Saint Augustine from
New Smyrna about the same time as the outbreak of the Revolutionary War
remained along with a few others into the Second Spanish Period (1784-1821).
When Robert Johnston departed from East Florida, he left his property in
charge of an agent named William Slater. Slater was a native of England and
a merchant and public storekeeper. Married and the father of two children,
he had five hundred acres of land on the Saint Mary's River, a house and
grounds where he lived on Charlotte Street, and slaves and horses.
Governor Patrick Tonyn appointed him to be a public vendue master at the
end of the British Period. With evacuation at hand, land, houses, and other
property had to be appraised and disposed of as at the end of the First Spanish
Period twenty years earlier. The property, however, soon glutted the market
and was sold at low figures. Before Slater departed for the Bahamas himself
he sold Johnston's property.
Don Pedro Jose Salcedo bought the property from Slater on
November 22, 1784. Salcedo acquired the site on Saint George Street
bounded on the west by Spanish Street, south by the heirs of Raymundo
Alonso de Arrivas, and north by Jayme Clac [James ClarkeJ. Thelot or
lots had three houses of masonry and wood fronting on Saint George
Street which were deteriorated and badly treated ftV and therefore
uninhabitable -- one apparently being the "former house of Alfonsa de
Avero." Salcedo promised to return the property to Robert Johnston
or his heirs at the same price if the English should again take over
Saint Augustine -- this was effective for one year only.
Pedro Jose Salcedo was a Captain in the Royal Corps of Artillery
and Commander of the detachment stationed in Saint Augustine at the
beginning of the Second Spanish Period. He was from Granada, but may
have come to East Florida by way of Havana. He married Maria Rodriguez
Galan in Havanaon March 20, 1785, by proxy, and on April 20, 1786, their
marriage was ratified in Saint Augustine with Thomas Hassett officiating
and Don Mariano de la Roque, Captain of the Engineers in East Florida,
and his wife as witnesses.
Most of the British population left East Florida after its trans-
fer to Spain. The population dropped from an estimated 17,375 to
between 3,000 to 6,000 residents. Minorcans, a few British and other
foreigners, Spanish residents, Floridanos from the First Spanish Period
and the garrison made up the population at the beginning of the Second
Spanish Period..
Salcedo and his wife moved into a home on our site (Rocque 44)
sometime prior to 1793.. In 1788 Salcedo still owned the three lots on
Saint George Street (Rocque 44,45, and 46). Rocque 44 now had a two
story masonry house, in good condition, on it. Salcedo also owned in
1788 a house of wood and slats with a palm roof, in bad condition, on a
lot of the King's on Spanish Street (Rocque 31). In 1790 Salcedo owned
the three properties on Saint George, 'but no longer had the house on
Spanish Street. Then in 1792, Salcedo sold Rocque 45 and 46, the former
to Maria Triay and the latter to Antonio Usina. This left Salcedo with
only the one site (Rocque 44).
The 1793 Spanish Census confirms the fact that the site (Rocque
44) was the home of Salcedo and his wife. Salcedo was #129 on the
Census and #128 to the south was D6n Tadeo de Arrivas, the son of
Don Raymundo de Arrivas and his wife, Dona Ursula de Avero, and #130
to the north was MariA Triay (Rocque 45).
The Census shows too that the Salcedo household consisted of
Salcedo, his wife, two young girls and two slaves. The girls were
agregada or associated. They were Maria Josefa Welch, the daughter of
Juan and Juana Allen, both of Ireland, who was sixteen years old and
Catalina Ximenes, the daughter of Rafael and Maria Ramillera both of
Minorca, who was eight years old. Both girls were baptized with
Salcedo as one of their sponsors. Maria Welch who had been born in
New York was baptized on March 6, 1792 at the age of 14 with both
Salcedo and his wife as sponsors for her. Catalina Ximenez was
baptized on January 16, 1785, at the age of six days with Salcedo and
Antonia Selort as her sponsors.. The younger girl's parents with four
other children lived in Saint Augustine in 1793, but the family
of the older girl does not appear in the Census of that year. Salcedo
and his wife apparently had no children of their own.
Their home must have been fairly comfortable for its time and
place.. It was a two story masonry house with stairs, balcony, court-
yard, kitchen, henhouse, other necessary outbuildings, and a small
orchard or garden patch. It also had glass for the windows.
Salcedo both a Captain and a Commander of a Military Detachment
and a peninsular was fairly well off and a member of the garrison
society such as it was. A man in eighteen-century Saint Augustine
who had eight good shirts plus four old ones could not have been too
badly off.
&
Pedro Jose Salcedo died on.August 28, 1795, leaving only his
widow. She returned to Havana shortly thereafter taking their three
slaves with her.
His estate consisted of the house, the three slaves (an eighteen
year old Negro named Maria del Carmen and her two small children, a
three year old daughter named Maria Josefa and a one year old Mulatto
son named Juan Nepomuceno), and his clothes, which included a dress
coat of new cloth with a blue taffeta lining, breeches, shirts, etc.
Salcedo apparently left no will. Don Juan Fernandez Remedios,
also a Captain of the Royal Corps op Artillery in Saint Augustine,
became Juez Comisionado (Judge Commissioner) of the legal proceedings
pertaining to the estate.and Joe Antonio Yguinez became the apoderado
attorney or proxy of the widow who was in Havana.
The clothes -- except for a few items that were very old -- were
sold in January, 1796, for a total of 111 pesos and 1 real. The house,
however, which was valued at 3,971 pesos and 2 reales in 1796 was not
sold until 1805. The widow did not agree with an appraisal and Tadeo
Arrivas claimed a portion of the Salcedo property for himself and other
heirs of Raymundo Arrivas.
A Negro General or Caudillo of the Auxiliary Troops of the Island
of Santo Domingo lived in Salcedo's house from January 20, 1796 until
the end of May,. 1796, at the disposition of the Government. The Negro,
Jorge Viazour, had a pension of three .thousand pesos from the Crown
for his services. He must have come to Saint Augustine sometime between
1793 and 1796 since he does not appear in the 1793 Census.
Viazour stayed in Saint Augustine after he moved out of Salcedo's
house since he died here in 1801. When he died he had a big funeral at
the parish church with a Mass. The Governor, Senior Lieutenants, all
officials and persons of distinction attended, plus a guard of sixteen
to twenty free Negro Militia. They buried him at Campo Santo.
On June 21, 1796, Salcedo's house was rented out. The property
apparently remained a rental property for a number of years thereafter.
for the site was not sold until late in 1805,
Pablo Sabate bought the property at public auction on November 22,
1805, for the sum of 1,500 pesos. He paid 700 pesos in cash and the
remaining 800 pesos was taken care of in the form of a promissary note
held by the Military Detachment of the Royal Corps of Artillery. At
the time of this sale the southern boundary of the property which Tadeo
de Arrivas had disputed was settled. Arrivas was paid 100 pesos in the
settlement.
Sabate was a native Minorcan who must have come to the New World
as a young child. His family settled first at New Symrna and then moved
to Saint Augustine along with other Minorcans during the British Period
(ca. 1777). He married Antonia Ortegas, also a native of Minorca, on
June 9, 1781, with Father Camps officiating.
The Sabates had a large family - Miguel (April 5, May 9, 1784),\
Catalina (September 22, 1786), Ana (September 20, 1788), Sebastian
(October 24, 1790), Pablo (February 6, 1793), twins Juan and Antonia
(July, 1795), Eleuteria Catalina Ana (January 3, 1798), Eusebia Sabate
( -- 1800), and Ramon (August 31, 1801).
Their daughter, Eleuteria Catalina Ana Sabate married Antonio
Alvarez in January, 1818. Alvarez served both in the Second Spanish
and American Periods in various capacities,. Under the Second Spanish
administration he was clerk in the Secretary's office from 1807 to the
change of flags. During the American Period he held a number of
positions - President of the Board of Alderman, Keeper of the Public
21
Archives in East Florida,: and Mayor of Saint Augustine for instance.
His family also owned the OldestHouse on. what is now Saint Francis
Street.
Pablo Sabate was a farmer and a fisherman. In. 1783 he had a house
in the Greek settlement and one and one-half acres of land, the land
he apparently rented.. The house on Spanish and Cuna was made of wood
and covered with palm. His household in 1793 was made up of his wife,
children, mother-in-law and one slave, a Catechumen (person studying
the Christian doctrine in order to be baptiEed)..
Sabate owned the two houses by the end of 1805 - his old home
on Spanish and Cuna plus the Salcedo house on Saint George. Whether
(N
he actually livedthe house on Saint George Street is at present
uncertain. He also acquired additional property both inside and out-
side of Saint Augustine. In 1809 he bought a large tract of land
(over 2,000 acres) known as Casacola. Granted to him in the Second
Spanish Period, the United States later confirmed his ownership. He
also purchased200 acres at San Diego at a place called Plantage de
Arroz de Clark (Clark's rice plantation).. The United States confirmed
this too. However, the United States rejected his claim to a 2,500
acre tract, west of Casacola, granted to him by Governor Jose
Coppinger in 1818.
Pablo Sabate spanned three distinct periods in Florida's history -
- he first came to Saint Augustine during the British Period, he stayed
on in the Second Spanish Period, and lived into the American Period.
Starting out as a farmer and fisherman, he lived in a modest house of
wood covered with plam. Sabate served in the Provincial Militia under
the Spanish. The Minorcan died on April 27, 1834, at the age of eighty
some. He left a "numerous circle of friends and relatives to deplore
his loss." He left too "Valuable real and some personal estate" in
the County of Saint Johns, East Florida. In addition to considerable
property, his estate included Negroes, horses, crockery and glass ware,
"jamayca" rum, American Gin, Whiskey, common rum, Spanish doubloons and
silver money. He left no will. His son-in-law Antonio Alvarez and his
OF
son Rarmon Sabate took out LetterasAdministration to settle the estate,
which included the property on Saint George Street..
