I am searching for information on my great grandmother. Her name is Alejandra Rodriquez Carriaga, and she was born in 1896. Her son, Merejildo Carriaga is my grandfather and his current family has resided in Schertz, Texas since before my mother was born, Frances Carriaga, in 1960...They used to live down by Cibolo creek in Schertz, Texas off of 1518 and Hwy 78...My grandmother, Maria de la Luz (Adamez) Carriaga was born in 1921, and I am not certain if she was born in Texas, but she worked at Randolph AFB for some time. I also know that they lived close to the base and were given money for their land/home to make room for the expansion of the base. My relatives are buried in the Selma Cemetery #2.

William Cassin & Family

William the son of James and Mary (Feely) Cassin of Ireland, migrated to the United States to through New York City to Mercer County, Illinois in the mid 1850s, with his Mother and 10 siblings. He attended Lombard college in Galesburg, Illinois. He left College about late 1880 to be a teacher in Laredo, Texas, and did land surveying of Texas. This lead to his ability to choose a nice piece of land in/or near San Antonio, Texas. He became a resident in 1896, at 121 Crofton Ave., San Antonio, Texas. He died about 1915 form complications of the grip.

He married Charlotte Newton the daughter of General Samuel Galitzen Newton and they had three children, Mary Elizabeth (b. 1888) who married Terrell Bartlett before 1915, Edward Willits (b. about 1890) who married Stanow Devine Smith, and Stanley D. (b. abt. 1895) who married Caroline Gresham.

Family lore says that William's land became downtown San Antonio, and that their is a street named after him.

Commander of the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar

Captain José de Urrutia was born in the province of Guipúzcoa, Spain, on or about 1678. He and his brother Toribio came to the Americas before 1691. Little information exists on their early years in and about New Spain, but by 1691, Jose, a mere youth, accompanies Dón Domingo Terán de los Ríos, into an expedition into Texas. Terán had been in the Spanish service in Peru for twenty years. In 1681, he came to Mexico as a deputy of the consulate of Seville. Because of his successes in quelling Indian disturbances, his instructions included establishing seven missions among the Tejas Indians. At this time the Spanish military established a garrison near the Neches River, a boundary stream forming the county lines in what is now East Texas and the Louisiana border.

By his own statement, Captain Jose claims to have lived amongst the Indians for seven years. When Captain José rejoined his countrymen remains unknown, but by 1696, he had returned to New Spain. There he held a prominent military position with the Spanish government.

Captain José married twice. The first occurred on January 7, 1697 to Doña Antonia Ramón. Doña Antonia was the daughter of Governor Dón Diego Ramón and the Doña Feliciana Camacho y Botello. The marriage ceremony performed at the parish church, Santiago Apostol, in the silver mining town of Monclova, in the state of Coahulia in Mexico. Captain José and Antonia had one daughter, Antonia, who later married Dón Luis Antonio Menchaca. The Menchacas settled in San Antonio, and in 1753, Don Luis earned the appointment and title of the commander of San Antonio de Bexar. They left their own unique mark in Texas history.

After the death of his first wife during childbirth, Dón José married the Doña Rosa Flores y Valdez; the daughter of Dón Juan Flores y Valdez and Doña Josefa de Hoyos y de la Garza Falcon. Dona Rosa’s families are descendents of the original Conquistadors of Coahulia and Nuevo Leon in New Spain. This marriage most likely took place in Saltillo. From the union they had four daughters and six sons, including a son named Turbico de Urrutia, who would later succeed him as captain of the presidio de Bexar. Their children, Rosa Micaela, married Dón Pedro Jose de Godoy; Cathalina, married Dón Jose de Plaza; Juana married Dón Ignacio Gonzalez de Inclán. When widowed, her second marriage was to Dón Pedro Mariano de Ocón y Trillo; Ana Gertrudis Josefina, married Dón Antonio Nicolas de Treviño Gutierrez; Captain Toribio de Urrutia, married Doña Ana Maria de Farias y Flores de Abrego and Doña Maria Josefa Flores de Valdez; Joaquin married Doña Maria Josefa Hernández Longoria; Pedro married Doña Gertrudis Flores y Valdez; Manuel died young and never married; Ignacio Cayetano married Doña Rosa Sánchez Navarro y Gomez; Miguel married Doña Clara Cantu.

Captain Jose de Urrutia served as Commander till his death on July 16, 1741, San Antonio de Bexar.
