Tomás Martín Feuillet

Tomás Martín Feuillet was born on 18 September 1832 in La Chorrera; an illegitimate child, he was entrusted to José Martín and Juliana Feuillet, who adopted him and gave him their name. At seventeen, he left to study Spanish letters in Bogotá without finishing his studies, then went to learn English in Jamaica. A public interpreter, a militia lieutenant, and an elected member of the municipal council of Panama, he discovered his true origins late in life. Secretary to General Julio Arboleda during the civil war, he died in February 1862 at Piendamó, aged twenty-nine.
