Antonio Acosta & Maria Perez

 Name: Antonio Acosta
Ship: La Victoria
Birth:  Aguimes, Gran Canaria

Wife: Maria Damiana Perez [Perera]

History

Antonio 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 and children Andrea, Lorenzo, Domingo, Francisco, Blas and Maria.[1]   He arrived at the Valenzuela settlement.

Antonio and Maria are listed in the Spanish census of 1788 along Bayou Lafourche next to Pedro Caballero and Juan de Aleman.[5]  Antonio died in 1802 and buried January 16, 1802 at the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  

Children

  1. Andrea[Andres?]  (b. 1770)
  2. Lorenzo (b. 1764)
  3. Domingo (b. 1765)
  4. Francisco (b. 1768)
  5. Blas (b.1770)
  6. Maria (b. 1763)

Son Andres married Josefa de Orta.[2]  They continued to have children at the Valenzuela settlement. 
NOTE: Andres is not listed on the La Victoria ship list. It is most likely Andres, listed as the daughter "Andrea", was transcribed erroneously.  It is also possible that Andres was an older son, that arrived in Louisiana on a different ship.
Son Lorenzo married Juana Hernandez, daughter of Sebastien Hernandez and Teresa Lopez.2  They continued to have children at the Valenzuela settlement.  Lorenzo died March 9, 1825 and was buried March 10, 1825 in Plattenville.[4]  

Son Domingo married Marcelina Truxillo, daughter of Domingo Truxillo and Catharina Dominguez of La Gomera, on February 27, 1786 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  

Son Blas married Maria Manuela Plasencia, daughter of Gaspar de Plasencia & Melchora Gabriela Barrosa(?), on October 30, 1791 at the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Valenzuela settlement.[2]  They continued to have children at the Valenzuela settlement.  Blas died and buried on May 5, 1824 in Donaldsonville.[4]  

NOTE: Maria is believed to have married Pablo Navarro of La Mancha, Spain.  There is no marriage record to confirm this.  There are no baptism records that identify Pablo's wife as Maria, daughter of Antonio Acosta and Maria Damiana Perera.   However, Andres Acosta is the sponsor in many of their children's baptisms.  They continued to have children in the Valenzuela settlement.

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]

  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]

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.

Ship: La Victoria
Birth: Tirajana, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Father: Antonio Gonzales Siverio

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.  He is listed in the libro maestro, likely receiving rations in Galveztown in 1779.[11]  

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]
