[COPIES OF] SPANISH RECORDS IN THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE ARCHIVES, 1566-1800.

Accession Information: See description below Arrangement: By Archival agency and chronological thereunder Finding Ald prepared by: John R. Woodard, Jr. Date: November 30, 1962 Addenda and Revision (especially boxes 1.1, 37, 38) by Ellen Z. McGrew, 31 August 1979.

On April 18, 1924, the North Carolina Historical Commission authorized Dr. W. W. Pierson of the Department of History at the University of North Carolina to examine the public documents in Hadrid to determine whether there was any material pertaining to North Carolina that ought to be in the records of the Historical Commission. Dr. Pierson found material in the National Historical Archives at Madrid and secured the services of Manual Diaz as copyist. A larger collection was discovered in the General Archives of the Indies in Seville, and Hiss Irene A. lvright was employed to photostat the pertinent material. Additional material was found in the archives at Simancas, where Mariano Alcocer was engaged as copist.

The Eleventh Biennial Report of the North Carolina Historical Commission, 1924-1926, said of the project and the materials found: "Investigation, facilitated by the courteous assistance of the Florida Historical Society, revealed an astonishing large collection of hitherto unused material vitally pertinent to North Carolina history from the • middle of the sixteenth through the first years of the nineteenth century, much of which was in a bad state of preservation; and the Historical Commission authorized the use of available funds for securing copies and photostats. The work was prosecuted vigorously until July 1,1926, wiien an exhaustion of funds compelled the suspension of the work .... This collection contains material on the Spanish policy in Tennessee and Kentucky, the relations of the Carolinas and Florida, the expedition of General Elijah Clarke, the projects of William Blount, the East Tennessee and Cumberland settlements, the South Carolina Yazoo Company, and the careers of James Robertson, John Sevier, James \Vhite, Alexander McGillivary, and William Blount."

Copying was resumed on July 1, 1927, following the appropriatlon of additional funds; but on August 27, 1927, the King of Spain prohibited the further copying of Spanish documents in series. Despite repeated efforts of the North Carolina Historical Commission and other repositories in the United States the ban was not lifted and the work of copying the documents came to an end. The reason for the ban seems to have been a fear on the part of the Archivist at Seville that such mass cOPyiut would reduce the importance ?f his own repository as a research center .

The Twelth Biennial Report of the North Carolina Historical Commission, 1926-1928, shows that 15,120 pages of photostats and 1,512 pages of type- written copy were secured during the three year period. (See appendix)

Of the total documents copied, the largest number are from the Archives of the Indies at Seville and are concentrated in the 1650-1760 period. The contents generally relate to the presidio of St. Augustine: its extreme poverty, the need for better fortifications, military movements, attacks of the pirates on the province, Indian affairs, missionary work, and relations between English colonies and Florida. Also from Seville are two sixteenth century documents relating to expeditions from Florida: The Coronas (1566), and the Bandera (1569) documents.2

The Cuban Papers (Papeles de Cuba) were transferred from the archives at Havana, Cuba, to Seville in the 18805. These records originated chiefly in the provinces of Louisiana, West Florida, and East Florida, and contain references to many localities, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez, Saint Augustine, Cumberland, Vincennes, Louisville, New York, Philadelphia, and various towns in the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee. The papers have a bearing on almost every phase of Spanish government in America during the years, 1777-1799, and furnish valuable source material for the study of navigation on the Mississippi River, boundary disputes between Spain and the United States, migration, the State of Franklin, the founding of Kentucky, etc.3

Documents (1785-1796) copied from repositories in Madrid and Simancas are concerned with topics similar to those documents in the Cuban Papers for the same years.

In 1941 the National Park Service microfilmed the 2,000 odd documents comprising this group of records. (A copy of the National Park Service microfilm is in the custody of the Library of Congress, which reported in 1974 that this film is in poor condition and reel 01 [introduction] is missing. The N. C. State Archives does not have a copy of this film.)

The Cuban Papers were calendared in List of the Papeles Procendentes De Cuba in the Archives in the North Carolina Historical Commission, (North Carolina Records Survey, Raleigh, 1942). This calendar is mimeographed and forms a 78 page booklet whd ch is indexed. When Mr. Albert C. Hanucy.

Historical Technician, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, St. Augustine, Florida, prepared his Calendar of the Spanish Records of the North Carolina State Department of Archives and History, in 1946, he found that 177 documents had been omitted in the Historical Records Survey calendar, and he inserted the corrections in the published calendar and then filmed the corrected volume to form a part of his overall calendar of the Spanish Records. He found the Papeles Procendentes de Cuba con- stituted 659 documents rather than 474 as indicated in the Historical Re- cords Survey calendar. [See microfilm Z.S.S.P in Search Room)

Over the years two individuals have made translations of parts of this collection: Dr. Lucy Wenhold, Salem College, Winston-Salem, translated a number of documents and gave the translations to this Archives. Miss Ruth Kuykendahl, a student at the University of North Carolina, was employed by the archives on a part time basis to do some translating. She translated some 600 of the 2000 documents in the collection. Copies of the translations were also furnished to the Florida Historical Society, and documents that have been translated are so noted on Manucy's calendar; and all translations that were available at Lhe time (S88 documents) appear on reel NC 24 of the National Park Service microfilm.

1.1 Coronas Document, 1566 (32pp.)

An account by scribe Pedro de Salazar of the expedition led by Captain Pedro de Coronas in the ship Trinidad which sailed north from San Mateo on the St. Johns River on August 2, 1566,with 15 soldiers to establish a forL, 2 Dominicans to convert Indians, and an Indian (Don Luis) who had promised that in his home land, between 360 and 390 latitude, the Indians would welcome the Spaniards and embrace Christianity. Storms and hurricanes harrassed the expedition; although it did land, explore, and plant a cross of tree branches on the coast of North Carolina, claiming the land for Spain (August 24-28), probably in the Currituck Sound area. They saw no Indians and Don Luis did not recognize the area. They went on to the vicinity of Chincoteague Bay off the Maryland-Virginia coast where Don Luis did recognize the land (September 3); however, a fierce land wind forced the ship out to sea and ultimately to a decision to sail for Spain. Photostat. 32 pages. • Translation, 26 typescript pages, author unknown, n.d.

Transcription of the Coronas Document, 1566, from copy in the Library of Congress, 34 carbon typescript pages. According to the North Carolina Historical Commission Biennial Report, 1916-1918, this transcription was sent by Dr. J. F. Jameson, Carnegie Institute, Washington, D. C. A translation of 30 pages was made by James A. Robertson for the Historical Com- mission.l Note: The final 4-5 pages of this transcription and translation have some additional material written October 23, 1566, after the Trinidad had returned to Cadiz, consisting mainly of a summary of the expedition.

Additional Notes:

(1) The following paragraphs are from The Guide to the 1'1anuscript Collections In the Archives of the North Carolina Historical Commission, 1942:

Documents from the Archives of the Indies, Seville (1566-1759)

In the documents covering the years from 1650 to 1759 few places are re(erred to other than Saint Augustine and its outlying posts such as Apalache, Apalachicola, Matanzas, San Marcos, Santa Elena, and Santa Maria, which are mentioned in connection with their relations with the Indians and the English from the Carolinas and Georgia. There are also occasional references to San Jorge. Few persons mentioned in these records are important, with the exception of the governors of the province of Florida, such as Pero Menendez de Aviles, Diego de Rebol1edo, Francisco del Moral Sanchez, and Manuel de Montiano.

Cuban Papers from the Archives of the Indies, Seville (1777-1800)

These papers, which have New Orleans as their base, concern that city, Natchez, Walnut Hills (Nogales), Pensacola, Mobile, Saint Augustine, Baton Rouge, Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Knox- ville, and Lexington. There is also occasional mention of Detroit, Charleston, Fort Pitt, Vincennes, Philadelphia, and New York. Among the persons mentioned here are William Blount, William Augustus Bowles, Baron de Carondelet, Elijah Clarke, M. Genet, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Manuel Gayoso de Lemos, Alexander l-tcGi1livray , Es tevan Miro, James 0 I Fallon, William Panton, Thomas Pinckney, James Robertson, George t~ashington, Anthony \~ayne, and James Wilkinson.

(2) In a 1968 letter the state archivist of North Carolina made the following estimate of the amount of North Carolina-related material in these Spanish records: " ... I would guess that probably less than ten per cent of these can be related immediately to North Carolina. Florida, Alabama, south Georgia, Hississippi, and Louisiana are well represented; there are a number of documents rather closely related to Tennessee (which was, of course, North Carolina in the years covered by most of these records).
