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.

Galveztown Settlement (1778-1805)

History

In 1778, Loyalists from the settlement of Canewood in British West Florida relocated to the south bank of the Amite River after fleeing American Revolutionaries. In November of the same year, the first ship of several carrying Canary Islanders, or Isleños, would reach Louisiana to help defend the territory against a possible British invasion. Spanish Governor Bernardo de Gálvez traveled up the Mississippi River on November 12 or 13 with the recent Isleño arrivals in search of a proper location to establish a settlement. On November 22, Gálvez reached the point at which the Amite River and Bayou Manchac met and came across the fledgling Anglo-American settlement joined by French and German inhabitants. Gálvez granted asylum to those in the settlement under the requirement that the Isleños may be settled at the site as well as that a Spanish fort and garrison may be constructed. The inhabitants agreed and named their settlement "Villa de Gálvez" or "Galveztown" in honor of Governor Gálvez.

Almost from the very beginning, Galveztown was beset by tragedy. Diseases such as smallpox and scabies took the lives of various community members. Medical assistance was soon sent by Governor Gálvez but other diseases and maladies continued to beleaguer the community. Despite this, the militiamen of Galveztown managed to capture the British outpost of Amite along with 7 vessels and 125 soldiers and sailors in August, 1779. At the same time, Gálvez traveled up the Mississippi River and captured the British forts of Brute (Manchac), Baton Rouge, and Natchez. Following the capture of Mobile in 1780, Galveztown lost much of its strategic military importance.

Just as in the year prior, smallpox and other diseases continued to ravage the Galveztown. By the winter of 1780, over one-third of Isleños that arrived to the community were dead. On August 24, 1780, a powerful hurricane struck Louisiana which destroyed much of the community and its crops. Much of the community lived in poverty and lacked adequate food or clothing. It was not until the end of the American Revolutionary War that the community saw a small increase in its population.

By the beginning of 1786, more than half of the houses in Galveztown had been abandoned and fallen into disrepair. A number of residents petitioned Governor Miró for permission to leave the community with many wishing to go to the Isleño community of San Bernardo. In 1794, a series of hurricanes flooded and destroyed homes and spoiled crops. This was immediately followed by the flooding of the Amite River which affected every single family of Galveztown.

In the face of repeated flooding of the Amite River coupled with the destruction dealt by hurricanes, the residents continued to rebuild and eke out an existence. With the Louisiana Purchase, many of the Isleños chose to abandon the settlement. Many of them wished to remain within Spanish territory and so they fled primarily to Baton Rouge and established the neighborhood of Spanish Town. The last marriage to take place in Galveztown was in February, 1807. Other residents remained in the vicinity and eventually established the community of Gálvez on higher ground.

"San Carlos"

"San Carlos" by Gilbert Din[3]

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.  

The San Carlos departed Santa Cruz de Tenerife on May 8, 1780.  The English captured the San Carlos in the Caribbean and brought its passengers to the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.  After escaping the island, the families arrived at the plaza in Puerto Rico on July 17, 1780 in which they received rations for the next several months.  They finally arrived in Havana in December 29, 1780 where they remained almost three years.  By 1783, almost all of the families continued the voyage to Louisiana sailing on either the Margarita or the Santísima Trinidad.

NOTE:  The legajo contained two separate ship lists for the San Carlos: the first in Santa Cruz on May 8, 1780 and the second in a plaza in Puerto Rico on July 17, 1780.  Between the two lists, certain family members are missing or deceased. In certain cases, names and dates were transcribed erroneously.

History

Francisco left Santa Cruz, Tenerife in May 8, 1780 sailing on San Carlos with his wife Maria and son Manuel.1,2 The English captured the San Carlos in the Caribbean and brought its passengers to the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.  After escaping the island, Francisco arrived at the plaza in Puerto Rico on July 17, 1780 with his wife Maria and daughter Tomasa.  He is listed in the rations in Puerto Rico of November of 1780 and December 1780.3,4  After several months at the plaza, Francisco finally arrived in Havana in December 29, 1780.
NOTE: Manuel, age 3 months, is listed on the May 1780 ship list.  Manuel is not listed on the July 1780 ship list and is assumed deceased.  Tomasa is listed on the July 1780 ship list, however, her age of 9 months is in question since she's not listed on the May 1780 ship list.

The family stayed in Havana and nearby Regla until 1783, waiting for permission to continue the journey to Louisiana due to the war.2 After the war, he left Havana for New Orleans with his wife Maria on the packet boat Margarita on July 28, 1783 and landed in New Orleans.1  They resided in the St. Bernard settlement and is listed on the 1783 St. Bernard "libro meastro".8
