Notes

  1. ^ According to Eduardo Questell Rodriguez, Pedro Clausells (ca. 1840 - ca. 1910) was a land surveyor from Ponce (See Eduardo Questell Rodriguez, Historia de la Comunidad Bélgica de Ponce, a partir de la Hacienda Muñiz y Otros datos. Ponce, Puerto Rico: Editores Mariana. 2018. pages 59-60.) He may have been a member of the family that owned Finca Clausells located in the subbarrio by that name (see Office of Head Start - Grantee Profile. Current Legally Approved Service Area: Municipality of Ponce, Puerto Rico. HERE).
