The following image was shared by Juan Jesus de Leon. It is a photograph of his grandparents Hilario De Leon Duron and Maria Isabel Garcia Gonzalez. Juan stated that both of his grandparents are from Hacienda San Bartolo Cadereyta Jimenez, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Hilario is a direct descendant of Captain Alonso de Leon.

As a matter of fact El Capitan Alonso De Leon is Juan’s 9th great grandfather straight line through his father’s side and Alonso “El Mozo” the son of his is his 8th great grandfather.

  1. Dear Moises:
    I have been able to go back only to my great-great Grandfather Manuel Gonzalez, born 1824 and his wife Joaquina Barrera born 1829. I have hit a brick wall and cannot find their parents to either one of them. I don’t know where they were born
    but suspect around Camargo or Mier, Tamaulipas,Mexico. All their children were
    born in Rio Grande City, Texas, including my great grandfather Pablo Gonzalez, born 1864 in Rio Grande City, Tx. Does anyone have any information about Manuel
    Gonzalez or his wife Joaquina Barrera. She could also be known as Joaquina Concepcion Barrera.
