Maria Rita de los Reyes (married to Miguel
Flores) had three siblings all baptized at the San Fernando Cathedral. Her sister, Gertrudis married Vicente Vara
and also settled in Von Ormy around 1870.
The Reyes sisters were the daughters of Jose Policarpo de los Reyes who
was baptized on 28 Jan 1801 at San Fernando Cathedral. His father was Jose Santiago de la Trinidad
de los Reyes who was baptized at San Fernando Cathedral on 17 Jul 1757. His father was Juan de los Reyes who died on 01
Jun 1801 at Mission San Jose and was born circa 1721. Juan de los Reyes was a Mission Indian. The records fail to record from which tribe he
was, but his last wife was noted to be from the Borrado tribe.
T'il Manām! I would love help tracing another Reyes family which went to Wilson county and Floresville in the 1850's. I believe they are related to Payaya and were forced to leave the missions. Some names are Fabian De Los Reyes, Roberta Flores/Reyes, Antonio, etc These stories seem soooo similar.
