I want to learn more about Captain Cayetano Perez. He commanded Fuerte Carlota in Mobile when the Americans took over on April 15, 1813. Issac Joslin in his book, THE WEST FLORIDA CONTROVERSY states that Perez evacuated to Pensacola & was court-martialed & the transcript of his trials, which were not resolved until 1822, fills 1250 folios.

Then Peter J. Hamilton in COLONIAL MOBILE states that Perez came back to Mobile & lived on Fish River.

The other thing I want to do is to document the Cuban connection for all the people who owned property in Mobile when the Americans took over. Bernardo Caro owned everything from Royal to the river. He had a plantation in Cuba & bastard young'uns living there. His neighbor, James Innerarity, his neighbor on the south, owned a plantation in Matanzas Province in Cuba & had an illegitimate family there. A buddy of mine's people owned the plantation in Matanzas where Selma's William Rufus King was inaugurated VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES & he's been there & photographed the ruins.
