Ana Cordero Bello

Living in Key West when American census taken; with father not mother; owned a pair of earrings that matched her father's masonic compass and consisted of a pair of gloves. Gloves are a masonic symbol; masons used to give white cloth gloves to the woman they most esteemed, generally the wife. Gloves associated with purity. Possible that Ana Cordero was in some sort of womens' auxiluary group in Key West.

Father tried to prevent her marriage to Miguel Zaldivar, supposedly because he was a mujeriego; but possibly her father preferred her to marry another free mason. Free Masonry was a dangerous thing at that time and the Inquisition killed Jews and Free Masons (suspected that converso crypto jews became free masons). Ana had a pair of earrings with a 6 pointed star.
