| PACETTI: In 1768, Andres Paxeti/Pacetti was among that group of 110 Italians recruited by Dr. Andrew
Turnbull in the port city of Livorno, Italy to work on his vast indigo plantation established in New Smyrna, Florida. The Italians were ensconced in Mahon, Minorca waiting for Turnbull while he scouted the Mediterranean seeking Greeks for his project. During their eight month wait, many Italians married Minorcan women, increasing the number of people included in this enterprise. About 1403 Italians, Minorcans and Greeks sailed from their homelands across the Atlantic to an
unknown future in the New World. In New Smyrna, FL, the people were mistreated, toiled incessantly, were refused time away from the fields in order to hunt or fish so that many perished from starvation. The colonists had been deceived as to their tasks, the length of their contracts, and the promises of land grants negated. After nine years of continued exploitation, cruel punishments and severe oppression, they appealed to the governor of then British St. Augustine for
justice and were released from this binding existence. In 1777, the entire group of survivors marched up the Kings Highway to freedom in St. Augustine, FL, to begin a new existence. Two Italians to make this fantastic journey from Italy via Mahon, Minorca to Florida were Andres Paxeti and Josef/Giuseppe Bonelly. ANDRES PAXETI was the son of Tomas Paxeti & Clara Maria Changaroti, both of Italy; he was born about 1746-1752 in
Trapani, Sicily (Sicily, during that time-frame was in "The Region of Naples"). He married GERTRUDIS PONS
on 17 March 1768 in Mahon, Minorca - five children (listed). (NOTE: The language of the Minorcans is Catalan. However, during the Second Spanish Period (1783-1821) in East Florida, the predominant language was Spanish. In referring to those who sailed with the Turnbull group from Minorca to Florida, most people lump them together without differentiation and call them all simply, "Minorcans"). Gertrudis Pons was born in Mahon, Minorca, parents unknown; undocumented birth date from records of A.N. Manucy - 02 January 1753. She died on 06 October 1784 in St. Augustine, FL & is probably buried in Tolomato Cemetery. He died on 01 March 1818 in St. Augustine, FL & is probably buried in Tolomato Cemetery.

Josef Bonelly was one of the 110 Italians who emigrated with the Turnbull group in 1768 from Italy via Mahon, Minorca to New Smyrna, FL. He married MARIA MOLL/MOLLAR
before Feb. 1775 in New Smyrna (los Mosquitos), San Pedro Parish, FL; marriage record not found - Fr. Pedro Camps' Marriage Records begin in 1776.

Maria Moll was born ca. 1754 in Ciudadela, Minorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, dau. of Antonio Moll &
Maria {or Antonia} Cabrisas
(Cathedral Parish Record #32 = birth record for son Juan Josef Bonelly; & age 60, widow, on 1814 East FL Spanish census). The preponderance of records shows that the name is spelled BONELLY or BONELY (42 records with the "y" ending and only 9 records with the "i" ending). Josef Bonelly had acquired property in Volusia Co., FL - 600 acres on Turnbull Bay & on the same day was granted another ten acres at North Wharf on the Mosquito River. He was granted the land on 24 Sept. 1796 - a special grant offered by Gov. Quesada through a Royal Order issued by the King of Spain (Hist.
of Volusia Co. FL, by P. D. Gold). In 1799 he was granted 600 acres at Matanzas Bar, which he called "Buen Retiro." He and his older son, Tomas, farmed the plantation. In 1802, while Josef Bonelly was away on business, the Miccosukee Indians raided the plantation, scalped his son, Tomas Bonelly, then took Mrs. Bonelly and the younger children captive. They were taken to a camp somewhere along the West Coast of FL. Mrs. Bonelly and three children were detained
seven months. A ransom was demanded - Josef Bonelly paid $300.00 to free his family. The Indians thought it insufficient and kept the two older children captive - Joseph and Antonia Paula. Joseph made his escape by a circuitous route from Pensacola, New Orleans, Cuba and then to St. Augustine. Antonia Paula was detained fifteen more months, after which Josef Bonelly finally sent the additional $200.00 ransom money. Antonia Paula Bonelly was released (in
Dec. 1803) to her brother-in-law, Tomas Pacetti, who brought her back to St. Augustine (American State Papers, "Documents Legislative & Executive of the US" - Military Affairs Vol. VI).
