  Antonio de los Reyes Correa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The son of Joseph Rodriguez Correa and Francisca Rodriguez de Valez Colon, he was in charge of the small militia that fought to protect the city of Arecibo, Puerto Rico from an English attack on August 5, 1702.
Correa himself was wounded but the English left and the city of Arecibo was saved - as a result Correa was declared a national hero.
Correa was awarded "La Medalla de Oro de la Real Efigie" (The Gold Medal of the Royal Image), by King Philip V of Spain and given the title of "Captain of Infantry" on September 23, 1703.
