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".

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.
