The processes are described in more detail in

Andújar Castillo’s forthcoming study on venality in the
Spanish Army in the Americas promises to be equally
interesting.

Juan José O’Farrill y Arriola was the son of
Ricardo O’Farrill. This powerful merchant settled in Havana,
Cuba, around 1715 and became involved in the sugar business
and slave-trading. He was named factor
(business manager)
of the Mar del Sur Company around this time. Money and
patronage enabled him to marry the daughter of the Chief
Accountant of the Royal Treasury Court, María Josefa Arriola
y García de Londoño. From then on, the progress of this
Irish dynasty knew no limits. Ricardo O’Farrill had come to
Cuba from the island of Montserrat, where the Irish ran the
slave trade (D.H. Akenson, If
the Irish ran the world. Montserrat, 1630-1730: 1997). He
appears in some documents as a native of Ireland and in others
as a native of Montserrat. He attained Spanish citizenship by
royal decree on 17 January 1722 (José Manuel Serrano Álvarez
y Allan J. Kuethe, ‘La familia O’Farrill y la élite
habanera’, in L. Navarro García (coord.), Élites
urbanas en Hispanoamérica (De la conquista a la
independencia) (2005), pages 203-212).
