Juan Acensio

He was the son of Juan Perez el Bueno and a citizen of the city San Juan. He acted very bravely as a soldier during the siege of Castle Morro. Some of the things he did:

• Bring supplies from San Juan to the castle while the Dutch were disembarking in the harbour
• Scouting and spying on the activities of the Dutch forces that were preparing to lay siege to the castle. During the Siege he was sent again several times on reconnaissance missions. During one of the mission he managed to take prisoner a Dutch spy who had managed to get near the castle's moat
• On 4 October he was part of a group of ± 40 Spanish soldiers who made a surprise attack on the Dutch forces in the trenches near the castle. He personally killed several Dutchmen.
• On 2 November he was also part of a group that was sent to attack the retreating forces who were on their way to the harbour.
• He was aboard one of the 4 boats that were sent to take the vessel Medenblick that had run aground in the harbour of San Juan.

Juan Perez el Bueno

He was a citizen of San Juan and father of Juan Acensio. El Bueno was part of the forces that attacked the two Dutch vessels which guarded the mouth of the river Bayamon. Afterwards he was put in command of a part of the force that attacked and captured the island Cañuelo on 15 and 16 October.
When 7 Dutch vessels were sent to recapture the island he commanded part of the force that managed to repell the attack. He personally killed several Dutchmen and was wounded in this battle. Afterwards he was very active in the transportation of supplies from Porto Rico to Castle Morro.
