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.  

Children

1. Maria
2. Bartolome (b.1783)
3. (Constancia) (b.1785)
4. Catherine (b.1788)

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 Maria.

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.

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.

Known Isleño and Other Settlers of Galveztown (1779)
The list is based on the libro maestro between of 1779.[2]  

NOTE: Due to the lack of a functioning church, many of the church sacraments of the residents were likely performed at Galveztown by a visiting priest from nearby St. Gabriel.   These records were stored and archived at the church of St. Gabriel.
