Name: Pedro Cansiles (Calcines)
Ship: San Juan Nepomuceno

Resident: La Laguna, Tenerife

Father: Juan Calcines[6]  

Wife: Sebastiana Moreno
Mother: Catalina La Santa[6]  
Father: Josef Jose Morales[6] 

History

Pedro left Santa Cruz, Tenerife in December 9, 1778 sailing on the San Juan Nepomuceno and landed in New Orleans on July 1779 with his wife Sebastiana and his children, Antonia, Juan, Maria and Catalina.[1]   He arrived at the Barataria settlement.

Pedro is mistakenly listed as "Pedro Cansiles" in the ship list for San Juan Nepomuceno.[1]  The family name is also listed as Cassine, Caside, Casilda, Calsides, Calzenes, Calcines, Calcinez, and Calzines in church records. 

The Barataria settlers suffered great hardships and many requested to leave for other nearby Isleño settlements in Louisiana.  By 1779, Pedro is listed as "Pedro Casiles", wife listed as Sebastiana Morena and his family were living in Barataria receiving rations.[4]  Catalina, however, is not listed.  By 1783, the family left the Barataria settlement and had settled in the Terre-Aux-Boeuf settlement at St. Bernard. 

After Pedro passed, Sebastiana remarried to Don. Hilaron De La Paz Barosso on Oct. 7, 1782 at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.[2]

Daughter Antonia married Joseph Ruiz Gonzales, son of Matheo Gonzalez Ruiz and Maria Asumpcion de Avello, on February 3, 1783 at the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.[2]  They moved to St. John The Baptist parish and continued to have children.  She died November 30, 1839 and is buried in New Orleans.[5] 

Daughter Maria married Antonio Garcia.  She remarried his brother Blas Garcia, son of Thomas Garcia De Abreu and Catalina Gonzales de Claves of Santiago Del Real, Tenerife, on August 27th, 1792 at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.[3]   

Daughter Catalina married Luis Jose Betancourt, son of Nicolas Luis Jose Antonio de Betancourt and Rita Ramos Rivero of Guia, Gran Canaria.[7,8]  They continued to have children in the St. Bernard parish area.

Pedro George Caballero & Maria Gonzales

Name: Pedro Jorge Callero (Caballero)
Ship: La Victoria

Birth Place: Agüimes, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Birth Date: January 17, 1746[7]  
Father: Juan Caballero Suárez[7]
Mother: Josefa Perez Vizcaino de Leon[7]

Marriage: December 17, 1770[13]  

Wife: Maria Jesus Gonzales

Birth Place: Agüimes, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Birth Date: February 1746
Father: Jose González Estupiñán[9]  

Mother: Josepha Perez Franco[9]  

History

Pedro married Maria Jesus Gonzales on December 17, 1770 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[13]  

Pedro left Santa Cruz, Tenerife in Oct 22, 1778, sailing on La Victoria and landed in New Orleans on Jan 14, 1779 with his wife Maria, mother-in-law Josepha, and children Andrea, Juana, Domingo, and Miguel.[1]   The family arrived at the Barataria settlement.

NOTE: Pedro is listed in the Valenzuela libro maestro / cargo list index in 1779 receiving raciones (rations).  This suggests the family may have initially settled at Valenzuela before settling at Barataria.[6]  It's also possible the dates on the libro may be incorrect.  Further investigation needed.

The Barataria settlers suffered great hardships and many requested to leave for other nearby Isleño settlements in Louisiana.  By 1782, Juan and his family were living in Barataria receiving raciones (rations).[5]  By 1784, the family left Barataria and resided at the Valenzuela settlement.  

By 1789, Pedro was deceased.  Maria remarried to Francisco Lopez Machado on July 2, 1789.  She is also listed as "Ana Gonzalez". 

Children

1. Domingo Jose Francisco (b. 1771)[8] 
2. Andrea Josepha (b. November 27, 1772)[9]  
3. Juana Isabel (b. June 10, 1774)[11]  
4. Domingo Jose Vicente (b. March 14, 1776)[10]  
5. Miguel Antonio (b.December 13, 1777)[12]  
6. Maria del Concepcion (b. 1779)
7. (Jose)
8. (Asuncion)
9. Maria de la Conception (b. 1786)
10. Rita (b.1788)

Son Domingo Jose Francisco was born in 1771 and baptized January 26, 1771 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[8]  Domingo likely died before the family's departure to Louisiana.

Daughter Andrea was born November 29, 1772 and baptized December 6, 1772 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[8]  She married Antonio De Vega, son of Andres de Vega and Constanza Sanchez Lujan, on July 27, 1789 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  She remarried Joseph Gonzales Cruz, son of Joseph Gonzales and Maria Rodriguez de Chavez of  Los Realejos de Abajos de Tenerife, on October 5, 1795 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  

Daughter Juana was born June 19, 1774 and baptized June 10, 1774 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[11]  She married Vincent Hernandez, son of Sebastien Hernandez and Teresa Lopez, on February 28, 1791 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  

Son Domingo Jose Vicente was born March 14, 1776 and baptized March 24, 1776 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[10]  He married Maria Garcia, daughter of Joseph Garcia and Maria Josefa Aleman, on February 4, 1799, at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  They continued to have children in Valenzuela. 

Son Miguel was born December 13, 1777 and baptized December 21, 1777 at Iglesia de San Sebastián, Agüimes, Gran Canaria.[12]  

Daughter Maria del Concepion was born and baptized June 20, 1779 at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.[4] 

Daughter Maria de la Conception was born and baptized January 4, 1786 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  

Daughter Rita was born and baptized June 14, 1788 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  She married Jean Gonzales, son of Joseph Gonzales and Catherine Rodriguez, and received 2nd and 3rd degree consanguinity dispensation, on June 24, 1811 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[3]  

NOTE: Son Jose married Leonarda Diepa, daughter of Leonardo Diepa and Rosalie de Vega, on January 10, 1806 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[3]  They continued to have children in Valenzuela.   He is suspected to have been born in 1785, however, there is no birth or baptism record of Jose.  It is possible Jose is the same person as Miguel, however, further investigation is needed. 

NOTE: Son Asuncion is listed in the Barataria "libro maestro".[5]  He is listed as the same age as Domingo Jose Vicente.  Asuncion may be the same person as Domingo.  This also may be the same person as the son Joseph who married Leonarda Diepa, however, further investigation is needed.

"La Victoria"

"La Victoria" by Gilbert Din[2]

The second ship, the polacre (a three-masted vessel) La Victoria of Captain Andres Orange, left on October 22, with 292 persons.  Of the 88 recruits, 63 had families.  Antonio Palao, soon to become a cadet in Louisiana, had command of the immigrants. 

La Victoria, made the voyage directly to New Orleans. Its journey appears to have been more fotuitous since none of the 88 recruits on board died.  It reached its destination on January 14, 1779.

Juan Gonzales Siverio & Catalina Espino

Name: Juan Gonzales Siverio
Ship: La Victoria
Birth: Tirajana, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Father: Antonio Gonzales Siverio
Mother: Juana Rodriguez

Wife (1st): Catalina Espino

Wife (2nd): Maria Candelaria Mayor

History

Juan left Santa Cruz, Tenerife in Oct 22, 1778, sailing on La Victoria and landed in New Orleans on Jan 14, 1779 with his children Ana and Antonio.[1]   He arrived at the Galveztown settlement.  

Juan is listed in the First Militia Company at Galveztown on June 27, 1779.[10] He is also listed as Juan Severio. 

Juan is listed in the Galveztown Settlement Survey of September 13, 1793.[7]  He claims land in Galveztown in 1794.[5]   Listed as "100 superficial arpents on the right or south bank of the bayou bounded upstream by William Spaun (Braun?), downstream by the fort at Galveztown, and by vacant land on the other side."  Jose is shown on the Galveztown census of 1804.[5]  Juan is listed in land claims made in 1832 represented in a township map.[8]  

Children

1. Ana (b. 1766)
2. Antonio (b. 1774)

Juan remarried to Maria Candelaria Mayor, daughter of Tomas Mayor and Gregoria Sanchez in Galveztown.[2]   

Children

1. Leon Juan (b. April 11, 1793)
2. Elzeario Joseph (b. October 20, 1795)
3. Tomasa de Aquino Enrica (b. March 7, 1799)

Son Leon was born April 11, 1793 in Galveztown and baptized April 18, 1793 in Galveztown.[2]  

Son Elzeario was born October 20, 1795 in Galveztown and baptized October 22, 1795 in Galveztown.[2]  

NOTE:  Elzeario is possibly Joseph Severio, commonly referenced in the Baton Rouge records.  Joseph Severio married Maria Rosalie Arruet, daughter of Jean Louis Arruet and Maria del Alamo. There is a marriage record for "Joseph Sauario", married to "Maria Arrewitt" in the Greensburg District, later St. Helena Parish (present-day Livingston Parish), on February 1, 1820.[9]  They had children in Baton Rouge and Livingston Parish.  It is unconfirmed if Elzeario Joseph Siverio is the same as Joseph Severio, married to Maria.   More information is needed.

Daughter Tomasa was born March 7, 1799 in Galveztown and baptized March 17, 1799 in Galveztown.[2]

"Margarita"

"Margarita" by Gilbert Din[2]

The sixth ship with Isleños, El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, reached Havana on July 25, 1779, about the same time that news came of Spain's declaration of war on England.  After the war began, Lieutenant Colonel Andres Amat de Tortosa waited anxiously for the convoy to arrive from Cádiz in order to send the remaining emigrants.  But as the months stretched out and expenses mounted, he decided to dispatch the remaining 99 recruits and their families, 368 persons in all, on three small vessels.

Two brigantines belonged to Bartolomé Montañez, the San Carlos, which carried 47 recruits, 159 persons in all, under Sergeant First Class Josef Martínez Rubio and the San Pedro, with 35 recruits and a total of 119 passengers, under Corporal Juan Jardin.  The brig belonging to Francisco Suárez de Miranda, the Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, carried only 17 recruits, 89 passengers in all, under Lieutenant Esteban Botino de Echevarria.  

Those on El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, the San Carlos, and the Nuestra Señora de los Dolores arrived in Havana.  Those who waited patiently for the war to end found transportation to New Orleans in the summer of 1783, when the government hired two ships.  The first group of 40 families sailed from Havana on July 28, on board the frigate Margarita. They reached the mouth of the Mississippi at Balize on August 17.  Two days later, the packet boat Santísima Trinidad under Captain Borja, with 25 additional Isleno families, arrived. The two ships brought a total of 263 persons, who represented the bulk of the immigrants who had sat out the war in Cuba.
