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.
