描述Pensacola Navy Yard log book entries for 1 -3 July 1836, entry for 1 July 1836 includes names of enslaved laborers.jpg
English: Although not explicitly stated in the Pensacola log entries, enslaved black workers were “laborers” while white workers were categorized as belonging to “the ordinary.” The payrolls of Pensacola Navy Yard reflect that enslaved laborers were leased from prominent members of Pensacola society. These slaves often took the names of these families such as Moreno, Willis, Ahrens, Forysth Gonzales, Oldmixon and Morton (see entries for 1 July 1836, 1 August 1836 and 14 September 1836).
