Ship: La Santa Faz
Birth: June 7, 1758[5] - Agaete, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain
Father: Sebastián del Álamo[5] 
Mother: Andrea de Medina[5]

Jose married Francisca Diaz, daughter of Bartolome Diaz and Josepha Perez Hidalgo of Aguimes, on August 8, 1783 at the Galveztown settlement.[6,8]     

NOTE: Francisca Diaz, daughter of Bartolome Diaz and Josepha Perez Hidalgo is not listed sailing with the family on La Victoria.  It's possible she may have come with a previous family and remarried in Galveztown shortly after arriving.

  1. Maria
  2. Bartolome (b.1783)
  3. (Constancia) (b.1785)
  4. Catherine (b.1788)
  5. Nicolas Josef (b.1791)

NOTE: An unnamed daughter of Jose Alamo and Francisca Diaz was born August 12, 1785 and baptized October 12, 1785 at the Galveztown settlement.[2,6,10]  It is possible this is the same person as Constancia, who married Jose Ramirez in 1805.  Her death in 1835 states she was "70 years old" but this is considered to be erroneous.  It's quite possible she was 50 years old, placing her birth in 1785.

Pedro Calcines & Sebastiana Moreno

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]  

Children

  1. Antonia de la Concepcion (b. 1768)
  2. Juan Jose (b. 1771)
  3. Maria Candelaria (b. 1774)
  4. Catalina  (b. 1778)
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 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 by July 20, 1779. 

The Barataria settlers suffered great hardships and many requested to leave for other nearby Isleño settlements in Louisiana.  Juan and his family were living in Barataria receiving raciones (rations).[5]  By December 1779, the family left Barataria and resided at the Valenzuela settlement.  On December 15, 1779, Juan is listed in the Valenzuela libro maestro / cargo list index receiving raciones (rations).[6]

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]

  5. Miguel Antonio (b.December 13, 1777)[12]

  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.
