Captain Ramón Power y Giralt (October 7, 1775 – June 10, 1813), commonly known as Ramón Power, was, according to Puerto Rican historian Lidio Cruz Monclova, among the first native-born Puerto Ricans to refer to himself as a "Puerto Rican" and to fight for the equal representation of Puerto Rico in front of the parliamentary government of Spain. ==Early years== Power was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Joaquín Power y Morgan, a Spaniard from the Basque Country (of Spanish, Irish and French descent) who came to Puerto Rico in connection with the ''Compañía de Asiento de Negros'' which regulated the slave trade in the island, and María Josefa Giralt Santaelle a Catalan from Barcelona, Spain.〔(Ramón Power y Giralt, el reformista puertorriqueño ) ww.elmundo.es - "De madre catalana y padre bilbaíno con ascendencia irlandesa" (Catalan mothter and Bilbao-born father of Irish descent).〕 His great-grandfather Peter Power moved from Waterford, Ireland to Bordeaux, France, the grandfather Jean Baptiste Power Dubernet from Bordeaux to Bilbao, and the father Joaquín Power y Morgan from Bilbao to Puerto Rico.〔(RAMÓN POWER Y GIRALT, FIRST DELEGATE TO THE CÁDIZ COURTS, AND THE ORIGINS OF PUERTO RICAN NATIONAL DISCOURCE ) (Page 104)〕 In San Juan he received his primary education at a private school. In 1788, when he was 13 years old, he was sent to Bilbao, Spain, to continue his educational studies.〔Chinea, Jorge L.
