A Rich Man from the Old South

Christoval Ignacio Toledano—descended from Spanish nobility—became a prosperous cotton and sugar broker in New Orleans. At the time of his wife Basilice’s death, their joint property was valued at over $126,000 (about $3.5 million in 2015 dollars).

Christoval’s father was a Spanish government official who administered royal finances in (Spanish) Louisiana. He evidently descended from King Charles V of Spain.

"Christopher" is the English version of the name "Christoval".
