Re: Rafael Chacon

tcbiii — 2012-05-05 14:03:40Z

Hello, My name is Karen Rourk & my great-grandfather was DONACIANO CHACON, son of Rafael Chacon. He was either adopted or illegitimate, I'm not sure which. Donaciano, by arranged marriage, married Maria Luz de la Martinez 'Lucy', my great-grandmother.

Proof that RAFAEL CHACON was DONACIANO CHACON’S father is evidenced on the 1900 United States Federal Census where 24 year-old Donaciano, misspelled as “Donociano” was listed as living with his then 67-year-old father, RAFAEL CHACÓN, and Rafael’s 56-year-old wife, JUANITA PAIZ HURTADO, who was not Donaciano’s mother. [Note: Juanita’s real surname is actually Paez, but the spelling was corrupted. Her father’s name is spelled correctly as Paez.] 1900 Census Microfilm Records: Colorado. Page 299. Supervisor's District No. 2, Enumeration District No.6, Sheet No. 4. RAFAEL CHACÓN, head of household, age 67, born April, 1833, New Mexico Territory, married 42 years. Stock Raiser. Rent. JUANITA P. CHACÓN, wife, age 56, born Mar 1844, New Mexico Territory, married 42 years, LADISLAO CHACÓN, son, age 27, born July 1872, Colorado, single. Occupation: School Teacher. DONOCIANO CHACÓN, son, age 24, born Oct 1876, Colorado, single. Donaciano’s occupation was a Day Laborer in Maxwell Princinct 24, Las Animas County, Colorado.

_____

MARIA LUZ DE LA JESUS MARTINEZ (LUCY) was born on 15 Aug 1889 at L’Abbe (Segundo or Trinidad), Colorado. Luz was baptized on 06 October, 1889. She married DONACIANO CHACON on 27 May 1905 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church (Holy Trinity Catholic Parish, Baptismal Register: Vol. 6, Page 35.) by FATHER ANTHONY BRUNNER, in Trinidad, Las Animas County, Colorado. Her sponsor was BENIGNA MARTINEZ. Lucy and Donaciano were both living in Segundo, Colorado. Witnesses were EMEPGILDO VELARDE [Note: See page 65 of Meketa’s Legacy of Honor. A Juan Velarde is shown as Rafael’s uncle.] and ISABEL CORDOBA (Holy Trinity Catholic Parish, Baptismal Register: Book 5, page 264).

I have been told that Juanita Paiz was present at Donaciano's wedding and Rafael & Juanita are listed on his death certificate as his parents.

Do you know who ISABEL CORDOVA could have been?

Thanks.

It was me that miss-placed you Great Great grandfather but he is a famous person , sorry. But I have tryied to explain the connection between the other Chacon Eusebio that came to Persall Texas from Chacon New Nexico after the Civil War of the States and Texas Independency. I know after Texas became a state we lost our land holdings in New Mexico and made a life in Persall, but why did they know they could come farm the Chacon Creek. Thanks for any help,

Re: chacon family tree

andpat_1 — 2011-08-12 19:26:28Z

Hi Norm.

I have done quite a bit of research on the Chacon family in the area. I live in Seguin, about 32 miles east of San Antonio. You and your wife have some very interesting reading to do on the family. Just some highlights so to speak of. Carlotta's father, Carlos Chacon fought in Capt. Juan N. Seguin's company at the Siege of Bexar (who is also related to us by marriage as well) during the Texas war for independence. Juan Seguin married the daughter of Maria Antonia Rodriguez and Jose Antonio Flores de Abrego. The family of whom the city of Floresville is named after. Carlos Chacon married Antonia Rodriguez in 1847. She is a direct decedent of two of the sixteen original Canary Islander families that first settled San Antonio in 1731. I will get something together for you and your wife this weekend with an ancestry line of the Chacon family back to 1622 in the Canary Islands(Rodriguez family). Here is my email address. You can email me anytime. I am glad to be of help. When I started doing this, the person who helped me told me, if you get the chance to help someone else, that's what you owe me. If you don't mind, may I have your email address please. Thanks.

Re: chacon family tree

normanrandolph — 2011-08-12 17:59:15Z

This is GREAT news!!

Carlota (correct my spelling where appropriate) Botello was my wife's (Adela Farias) GGG-Grandmother. My father-in-law's sister, who died as a small child was also named Adela Farias. As you may have already noticed, a lot of given names repeated in family lines.

I only have Carlota (Chacon) Botello's parents, Carlos & Antonia (Rodriguez) Chacon, and nothing further back in that line. I have Victor Botello's parents as Francisco Sr. & Maria Petronila (Gonzalez) Botello. I then have Francisco Sr. parents as Jose Antonio & Maria Jesus Botello - I don't have Maria's parents or sibs. For Jose Antonio I have parents Joaquin & Maria Gregoria (Barrera) Botello - nothing further back.

Do these agree with your tree?

If so, I'd love to have those that you have to fill in the blanks.

Cheers,

Norm

Re: Chacon in Texas

devinecom1 — 2011-06-08 00:48:34Z

Lupe,
Chilhuahua is the source of a all Chacons I have found. The Texas famous Carlos Chacon lived in Seguin Texas. My Texas Chacons farmed the Chacon creek until World war II. Eusebio my great grand father moved to Texas after the US civil war to Persall Texas. They came from (which is now) Chacon New Mexico. The Chacon creek runs from Lytle Texas to Mexico (named for Carlos). These were frontier people , trained in Chilhuahua and entered the what was then the frontier. My great father had sons Juan, Maxilamo. Lino. Max had Eusibio my father. As you do your research keep in mind Chacon's were frontiers people they married men and women indian people. Other Chacon's do not want to know they are part american natives (Indians). Some Chacon males
suffer from Dupuytren check your mens hands (over forty)
they are Chacons Indians or not.

Sounds like there are 2 families mentioned here. Tomasa Estrada was infact married to Jose Estrada(the bootlegger). Her father and step mother Librado and Merced Chacon were chased out of Mexico by the Villistas during the Mexican Civil War. My grandmother brothers and sisters were:Isaac,Roman, Ustacio, Victorina and Maria. Hope this helps.

Existen diversas opiniones sobre el origen de este apellido, según algunos genealogistas, el apellido Chacón procede de Galicia, aunque otros difieren y afirman que su origen es Navarro. Incluso alguno afirma que procede del País Vasco-francés, (en un principio fue “Etxacon” que significa algo así como “el vecino de arriba”). Lo cierto es que desde aquellas tierras del norte, debió venir a establecerse en Castilla en la época de la Reconquista, durante los siglos XII y XIII y para más tarde pasar a Andalucía. Existe incluso un estudio sobre este linaje que identifica su origen con el de Judíos Conversos. A la cercana villa de Ocaña, llega en el siglo XIII el supuesto navarro Gonzalo Iñiguez Chacón y allí se establece y tiene descendencia: Ruí González Chacón que fue padre de Teresa Fernández Chacón, la cual fue madre de Juan Chacón y abuela de Gonzalo Chacón famoso personaje que fuera I Señor de Casarrubios del Monte y de Arroyo Molinos, Alcalde del Alcázar de Segovia y del Cimborrio de Avila, Maestresala, Mayordomo y Guarda Mayor de Isabel la Católica, Trece de la Orden de Santiago …, Desde esta Villa se debió extender este apellido por nuestra comarca y pasó posteriormente a América. Conocemos la existencia de casas importantes y antiguas de familias de este apellido en Huete, Santa Cruz de la Zarza y Corral de Almaguer, conocidas como “Casa Chacón”. Y que una rama de Chacón se estableció en Belinchón (Cuenca). También tenemos noticia de algún personaje importante con este apellido en Lillo (Toledo).... See More

Nuestro particular apellido “Chacón” aparece en Corral de Almaguer a principios del siglo XVIII, procedente de los Fernández de Buendía de la vecina villa de Cabezamesada, (provincia de Toledo), los cuales durante varias generaciones pasaron de apellidarse “Fernández de Buendía”, “Chacón-Fernández de Buendía” y “Chacón de Buendía” a nombrase solo “Chacón”.

Así fue que a mi antepasado José Antonio Chacón Campo Calero que vivió de 1756 a 1807, también le nombran en la Partida de Matrimonio (año 1775) como José Fernández de Buendía. Esto que puede parecer un error, no lo es, ya que al padre de éste, también de nombre José, le nombran José Chacón, José Fernández y José Fernández de Buendía en las distintas Partidas Sacramentales que se conservan. Al abuelo del primero, ya solo le nombran como Joseph Fernández de Buendía, y fue hijo de otro Joseph Fernández de Buendía, también conocido como José Chacón de Buendía, natural de Cabezamesada y de Manuela de la Torre, (de la cual no sabemos su origen). Desconocemos totalmente el motivo que ocasiona el cambio o transición del apellido Fernández de Buendía al apellido Chacón

Vistos todos los Libros Sacramentales de Cabezamesada de esa época, aparecen varias ramas familiares con apellido Fernández de Buendía, y un par de personajes apellidados Fernández Chacón. También sabemos que en esa villa y en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII nacieron tres varones con igual nombre “Joseph Fernández de Buendía”, como nuestro antepasado. Sin embargo hasta el momento no hemos podido determinar cual de ellos enlaza con nuestra rama, ya que desconocemos el nombre de los padres y abuelos y no hemos encontrado la Partida de Matrimonio de Joseph y Manuela de la Torre. Resolver esta incógnita y enlazar las ramas de Corral y Cabezamesada está pendiente de investigar.
El origen remoto de los Fernández Buendía de Cabezamesada se supone que estaría en el (no muy lejano) pueblo de Buendía (Cuenca). En los siglos XIII y XIV, y después de la Reconquista hubo una gran migración de personas del norte hacia al sur para repoblar las tierras conquistadas a los árabes. Y es fácil deducir que las extensas planicies manchegas atrajeran a muchas gentes procedentes de las quebradas y menos productivas tierras de Cuenca.

El acercamiento hasta Corral se puede explicar por la celebración de dos Ferias anuales en este lugar, lo cual atraía a gran número de personas de las comarcas y municipios vecinos, que llegando a Corral para comprar o vender sus productos, acababan asentándose en este lugar, bien por motivos laborales, o al entablar relaciones de pareja con gentes de este municipio.

En Corral existe una calle llamada Chacón y se tiene noticia de un personaje antiguo llamado Alonso Chacón Briceño que fue alcalde ordinario de Corral y cofundador del Convento de San Diego, allá por el año 1594. En esa misma calle se conserva una casa antigua con torreón y escudo nobiliario y que perteneció a la familia Briceño, en la cual vivió el personaje referido. Otro personaje conocido fue D. Pedro Chacón, canónigo de la Catedral de Cuenca. No tenemos ningún dato que relacione a estos dos personajes, con nuestra familia Chacón. Existe también una casa de campo que se denomina “Casa Chacón” todavía conservada en el paraje conocido como Casa Chacón, a la izquierda del camino del Toledano, al noroeste de la población.

Una rama de los Chacón de Corral se desplazó a Puerto Rico: Julián Chacón Martínez-Villanueva, nacido en 1841, y de este personaje y de aquel país quedan descendientes con los cuales mantenemos relación: Silvia Quiñónes y Elisa Chacón.

For those of you looking for information about the Chacón family originated in Ensenada, Puerto Rico. The patriarch of the Chacón family was Julián Chacón Martínez-Villanueva. He was born in a town of Toledo, name Corral de Almaguer, province of Castilla y La Mancha. I will copy the information in Spanish, but let me know if you need the translation in English. This information was written by a distance relative here in Spain, and he is a member of the geneology asociation of the town of Corral de Almaguer:

JULIAN CHACÓN MARTINEZ-VILLANUEVA, UN CORRALEÑO EN PUERTO RICO, EN EL SIGLO XIX

Julián Chacón Martínez-Villanueva, nació en 1841 en Corral de Almaguer, fue hijo único de Cristóbal Chacón y Manuela Martínez-Villanueva. En 1870 y con 29 años de edad, emigró a la isla de Puerto Rico donde fundó familia, y propagó el apellido Chacón. Esta es la pequeña historia que hemos podido recopilar de este corraleño, gracias a los datos extraídos de los libros antiguos de la Parroquia, de su Expediente Militar y los que nos han aportado dos bisnietas puertorriqueñas del mismo, Sylvia Quiñónez y Elisa Chacón, que llegaron hasta España interesándose por sus antepasados.

Conocemos que en 1859 ya era huérfano de padres, (su madre murió de viruelas en 1852), con esa edad se dirigió a la Caja de Reclutas de Guadalajara, España para alistarse como voluntario en el Ejercito de Ultramar por tiempo de seis años, para acogerse a los beneficios de la Real Orden de 26-06-1855 que establecía una gratificación por servicios cumplidos. Era de oficio jornalero y de estatura 1-51 metros de pelo castaño y ojos pardos y sabía leer y escribir, cosa no habitual entre los mozos de la época. En esos momentos no tenía cumplidos 19 años obligatorios que marcaban las Reales Ordenanzas para el ingreso en la milicia, en su expediente militar se dice: “se le dispensa de la edad que le falta para completo de los diecinueve años, ni acompañando consentimiento paterno, por ser huérfano de padres”.

Después de tres meses de instrucción, fue embarcado en Cádiz en la fragata “Ana Teresa”, en abril de 1860, y arribó a la Habana tras un mes de viaje. Sirvió en la isla de Cuba, estando de guarnición en el Castillo del Morro. A finales de 1861, siendo cabo 2ª fué trasladado a Veracruz, participó en campañas en México, volviendo tras unos meses a la Habana, con nuevo destino en Castillo del Príncipe y su Campamento. En Junio de 1862 fue embarcado hasta Santo Domingo que en esos momentos estaba en estado de rebelión, donde se ganó el empleo de cabo 1ª. En Julio de 1865, evacuada la capital de Santo Domingo, regresa a la Habana y es destinado a los Barracones del Príncipe donde permanece hasta su licencia tras lo seis años de servicio.
A su vuelta del ejército, tenemos noticia de que vivió en Illescas (Toledo) y que allí se caso con Rafaela Melchor Fernández, con la que tuvo dos hijos.

En Illescas como en Corral de Almaguer, las dificultades económicas, suponemos, le mueven para emprender una nueva aventura, esta vez con su familia. En 1870 embarcan hacia Puerto Rico, falleciendo su mujer en el viaje. Allí un año más tarde y en Iglesia Catedral de San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico, contrae matrimonio con Florentina Cortés Quirós (ó Queiro) la cual era natural de Caguas (Puerto Rico).

Nuestro paisano prosperó en aquel lugar, de donde ya no regresó, no murió muy mayor, pero su descendencia es numerosa, conocemos el nombre de ocho de sus hijos de su matrimonio con Florentina:
Amparo Chacón Cortés - Nacida en 1877
Adolfo Chacón Cortés - Nacido en 1883
Encarnación Chacón Cortés - Nacida en 1887
Arturo Chacón Cortés - Nacido en 1888
Luisa Chacón Cortés - Nacida en 1889
Julia Chacón Cortés - Nacida en 1892
Ignacio Chacón Cortés - Nacido en 1893
Graciela Chacón Cortés - Nacida en 1895

Es posible que desconozcamos un par de nombre más ya que en Censo Decimotercero de los Estados Unidos de 1910 - Población de Puerto Rico, aparece el nombre de su esposa, viuda ya y que había tenido 10 hijos de los cuales vivían 8 en esas fechas.
