Her first husband was Jose Ramirez and they had the following male children: Natividad, Manuel, Justo and Jesus. They are all deceased. Jesus was born in 1914, according to verbal information from my uncle Natividad. Jesus was known as “Jesse“. Uncle Jesse and his brothers, for some reason, changed their last name to Espitia (my grandmother’s maiden name). When I was younger, I remember that uncle Jesse had been married twice, and had children from both marriages. Besides Houston, Texas, he lived in Wichita Falls, Texas, and in La Puente, California. Later in life, uncle Jesse later moved back to Houston, and I think he married a third time. My uncle Natividad, told me that, unknowns to him at the time, uncle Jesse passed away and that he is buried in Del Rio, Texas ( I’m not positive about this information). Uncle Natividad was thinking about having uncle Jesse's remains moved to a Houston cemetary. I do not know if he did so. My grandmother, Francisca Espitia, married a second time. Julian Jaso was her second husband, and my mother, Beatrice (deceased), is one of the children from this marriage. _____ Matthew Cobby, you don’t mention any information about your parents. If you are related, are you from uncle Jesse’s first or second family? Bea
