NameFrancisco Ignacio Farias
Misc. Notes
Francisco Ygnacio Farias, a man of influence and power, agreed to support and follow Blas Maria de la Garza Falcon in his bid to become Captain of the Camargo settlement. Thus, Francisco Ygnacio and family were in the group of settlers already encamped at Camargo when Conde Jose de Escandon conducted his official visit on March 31, 1749. A year later the census of May 31, 1750 lists Francisco Ygnacio Farias, his wife Maria Juana Barrera, and their six children living in the frontier township of Camargo. His children were Pedro Ygnacio the oldest 11 years old, Martin 9 years old, Gregorio Valentin 7 years old, Rosalia 6 years old, Marcos 3 years old and Maria Gabriela just a child in arms. In the census of July 12, 1757 conducted by Don Jose Tienda Cuervo, Maria Juana Barrera is then listed as the wife of Juan Javier Rodriguez. This census does not list the children's names. It merely states that Juan Javier and Maria Juana had a child from their marriage and six step children, Juana's children from her first marriage to Francisco Ygnacio Farias.
