We got here in 1729, part of the Canary Island Group (13 families, 52 individuals), King Phillip V sent over by way of Cuba, Vera Cruz and north by Ox Cart to San Antonio.
By the Time of San Jacinto we had already been kicked out of Texas (We sent Santa Anna home the first time) and were Refugees in Louisiana, even changed our Name. We were marching his Loyal Lt.'s south back to Mexico, got about 30 miles south of SA and said screw it and killed them all there, I don't think we even buried them, Santa Anna never forgave us for that, He took it out on the Alamo. He did catch half my Family (the slow ones, Darwin and all) at the Sabine river and returned the favor.
