Elizabeth Ann is my 2x Great Aunt jer--49189845

Big Bayou was the site of the first European settlement in what is now southeastern St. Petersburg. The settlement was called Pinellas Village. It eventually included a post office and general store. Abel Miranda established a “fish rancho” there in 1857, catching primarily mullet and selling them to Cuba. He was soon joined by his wife’s Eliza Ann Bethell, brothers, John Alexander and William Bethell, who established their own mullet ranch at Little Bayou. But for the most part, Little Bayou and the area immediately south of it remained undeveloped and undisturbed until the 1920s. http://northeastjournal.org/bahama-shores/ Bahama Shores is the eastern shore of todays Pinellas Point.
