Hi Bobbi, Sorry Cucharas was adopted on the 5th, but you may want to contact the town coordinator and offer some assistance. Give me some specifics on your Romulo. I assume he and his family show up on the 1920 census? And what do you have for him in NM? Anything specific?

Hi Arleen, Please see my notations below that are *** Karen Karen, I have not had time to see the new data bases, but sure they are great and helpful to many. Many thanks for your hard work. ***Thank you! ........speaking of brick wall"s", I have a few :) Maybe someone can help me or offer advice. My ggrandparents were José Ignacio/Ynacio Martinez and Antonia Quintana. They had two sons, one by the name of José Eliseo Martinez. I can not find any information on José Ignacio Martinez or Antonia Quintana. I found their names in a oral history. I have read just about every entry so far on the Huerfano site. Where do I go from here? *** You would first look in surrounding areas for any records. I did this and found them at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Conejos, Co. Marriage: 11-5-1873 Jose Ignacio Martines, widower, son of Jose Guadalupe Martinez and _____ Romero, both deceased, married Maria Antonia Quintana, single, daughter of Jose Dolores Quintana and Maria Josefa Mascarenas, deceased, resident of Servillita. Witnesses: Jose Maria Valdez and Guadalupe Garcia. Death: 4-27-1874 Maria Ascension Juliana Martin, 1 year old, daughter of Jose Ignacio Martin and Maria Antonia Quintana, resident of Servilleta. Death: 1-11-1886 Jose Dolores Martin, 1 year old, son of Jose Ignacio Martin and Maria Antonia Quintana if Servilleta. Buried in Our Lady of Guadalupe Cemetery. This MAY be a clue: Death: 3-5-1875 Maria Prudencia Martinez, 27 years old, daughter of Ignacio Martinez and Beatriz Jaramillo, wife of Juan Manuel Cenobio Gallegos. On the Martinez side I did not find anything at Conejos on Jose Guadalupe Martinez and his wife. On the Quintana side: Death: 1-12-1862 Antonio Jose Quintana, 3 years old, son of Jose Dolores Quintana and Maria Josefa Mascarenas. Buried church of Guadalupe. Death: 12-27-1863 Maria Josefa Mascarenas, 40 years old, wife of Jose Dolores Quintana. Guadalupe Chapel.

Witnesses: Jose Camilo Gallegos and Desideria Fresques.

María Magdalena b 16-05-58 or 59 d 25-04-42, buried in San Arroyo........how do I find information on Juan Gabriel and María de la Luz, her parents? Where do I go?

He (Tomas ) is buried in Huerfano County..........but how do I go about finding info on his parents Juan Antonio and Manuelita?...... ***** You have the wrong person listed as the Father.

Joseph R. Bosone [email protected] Researching BOSONE and SANDRI. Grandfather, Francesco BOSONE, arrived in NY October 27, 1891. He settled in the Gunnison, CO area, working in the coal mines of Baldwin, Walsenburg, etc. My Grandmother, Catterina (SANDRI) BOSONE, and their four children, Pietro, Giuseppe, Catterina, and Maria, arrived in NY February 04, 1901. They were traveling under her maiden name, as many Italian women did who were not traveling with their husband. The manifest showed that she was going to meet her husband in Gunnison Co, Francesco Bosone, and that the children were going to Gunnison, CO to meet their father. The manifest also listed a coal company, Alpine Coal Co. My father, Giuseppe "Joe" BOSONE was very active in the UMWA while working in CO, and this was not a very popular endeavor at the time. He stuck to it and was an active union man up to the time of his death in 1982 (in Red Lodge, MT). I have a photograph of my father, taken in Walsenburg in 1914, Eventually the family moved to the Roslyn/CleElum, WA area, where they worked in the mines. My father, after being in the US Army in WWI, being in the merchant marine, was in CA, WA, and finally settled in Bearcreek, MT. He was with the National Bituminous Coal Commission for a while, and was District President of the UMWA in Billings for some time, also. My Grandfather, Francesco BOSONE, left Roslyn, WA in 1911, and from there we have lost track of him. Don't know if he stayed in WA, went to CA, went back to CO, or where he disappeared to. My Aunt Maria BOSONE is someone else whom we have lost track of. We understand that she went back to Italy, but don't know if it was while in CO or when they were in WA. My Uncle was Pietro BOSONE and my other Aunt was Catterina BOSONE, as mentioned above. Any info on the above would be greatly appreciated. Sorry to have made this entry so long. Would certainly like to find where Francesco and Maria wound up. Best regards, Joseph R. Bosone ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Karen, I really appreciate the marriage information because in it I found the date of my grandparents, Claudius Spencer Hart, b. Great Yarmouth Eng., 1841, and Anna Liza Veatch, b. 1865, Brown County, IL. She'd come west for her health and lived mainly with cousins at a site close the Highway 10 bridge that crosses the Cucharas near Cucharas Station. He'd been bound out to a sea captain, jumped ship and tried to catch up with his sister Susannah Strange and her husband. Didn't do it until he'd come as merchandise to their store wagon in Denver. Buddied with Buffalo Bill, a scout for the frieght wagon train, ever after. Dad said they were married in that first building on the west side of Main Street and north of the railroad tracks. I've assumed that was an early courthouse, but don't know. It's a mortuary now. Anybody know its history? Grandpa built her adobe house near Aguilar and later a fine two-story on the same ranch, but they lived mainly at Apishapa which is no more. They became wealthy. She died and he married and that wife and the daughter he had by her got all the money. She didn't get an adobe one-room--supposedly it was 20 rooms on the south side of Trinidad. I wonder where it was and if it still stands. She'd tricked him into writing that kind of will and my Dad, Claud, rancher, deputy sheriff, deputy assessor, and beef wholesaler, his brothers Henry (rancher and long-time Huerfano Co., undersheriff) and Tom, and sister Corinne, who worked at Howards at one time, got nothing. Before I get caught up with family history, I must tell you I enjoy browsing the marriages and have looked up quite a number, some of them kin. Yes, the marriages are a labor of love well appreciated. Mainly because of Grandma Anna Eliza Veatch Hart the names on my search list are many. Royals have pedigrees yards long. I doubt that she knew she came from about a 1,000 years of reigning royalty. And my husband seems to have also been of royal descent with many of the same lines. So we were probably something like 1/27th cousins. No, I haven't listed all the ancestral names in the database. I have thrown in a few I'm researching for others. None but the Harts and DeWitts lived in Huerfano or Las Animas County.

I just spent about three hours reading and searching on the Resource site. It is a wonderful site. To all who have worked on it thank you for such a wonderful job. There is no doubt that there has been a lot of time put into it. Karen the cemtery pictures and information are excellent. I will be watching for the completion of sections in the Huerfano one to be done. I have possibly found a link to a great grandfather from Scotland. Now I need to try to follow it up. Thanks again to all who have worked so hard on this site. Janice

Chris Crowe [email protected] Caldwell, Coots, Addington, Gould, Butts, Moore Hi, I just signed up today, but have been finding useful Caldwell info on your site for almost a year. Researching family of D. R. Caldwell (David Rice Caldwell) and M. J. Caldwell (nee Margaret Jane Jones) who are buried in Gardner Protestant Cemetery. They migrated to Huerfano County by the 1880 Census, were in Honey Grove, Fannin, Tx on the 1860 Census, and in Lincoln Co, KY on the1850 Census. David Rice Caldwell was born in Danville, KY in 1816 and is supposed to be related to the Cub Creek and Caldwell Settlement Presbyterian Caldwells, but we can't prove his parents. Also rumor of Indian blood in the family, Arapahoe or Cherokee, but don't know where it might come in. Looking for info on where Caldwells were in between Texas and Colorado, and any info on Huerfano Co. Caldwells that's not already on your Genweb site. We are descended through David's son George Alfred Caldwell, who married Mary Moore, also from Ky. via Tx. They ranched near Huerfano Creek in 1880's, then moved to Colorado Springs to run cattle, and then moved to Los Angeles around time of WW I. Will be happy to share any info we have! -----Original Message----- From: Jan Carpenter <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: 12 January, 2002 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [COHUERFA] 2002 roll call >[email protected] > >Jan Carpenter > >Mitchell, Kimbrel, Hope, Tribble, Carter........all of Walsenburg and Huerfano County. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Karen Mitchell >Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 8:24 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [COHUERFA] 2002 roll call > >Sorry folks but once again it's time for our semi-annual roll call to clean >up the mailing lists.
