Basilio ALCALA.

Spouse: Josefa GARZA. Basilio ALCALA and Josefa GARZA were married on June 18, 1835 in Santander Jimenez, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Family oral history says the mother of Jesus Alcala was named Josefa Garza. I am assuming that the LDS records for the family of Basilio Alcala and Josefa Garza are the records of Jesus Alcala's family. This would mean that Jesus' complete name was Jose Sostenes de Jesus Alcala, or Jose de Jesus Alcala. Gilberto Hinojosa remembered hearing the names Eudoro, Teresa and Gertrudis as being siblings of Jesus Alcala and related some humorous stories that he heard about "Tio Doro". Children were: Jose Eudoro ALCALA Garza, Jose Crescencio ALCALA Garza, Maria Petronila ALCALA Garza, Jose de Jesus ALCALA Garza, Maria Florencia ALCALA Garza, Maria Juana ALCALA Garza, Teresa ALCALA Garza, Maria Gertrudis ALCALA Garza.

Basilio ALCALA Flores was born in 1870 in Jimenez, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He was christened on October 28, 1871 in Santander Jimenez, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He died on February 27, 1921. He was buried in City Cemetery, Brownsville, TX, USA.
Basilio Alcala lived in Jimenez, Tamaulipas, Mexico but was forced to flee Jimenez during the Mexican Revolution. Revolutionaries during that time were killing the landowners and confiscating their properties to redistribute to the poorer people who until then had not owned any land. Basilio Alcala, his father Jesus Alcala, and Basilio's eldest son Jesus Alcala (the 2nd), were all marked for death by the revolutionaries. The only recourse for the three men was to flee from Mexico. Aided by Fiacro Betancourt, they first fled south to Tampico in 1916 or 1917. Jesus Alcala was then probably in his mid-60's, Basilio Alcala was around 45, and Jesus Alcala (the 2nd) was about 18 years of age. Once in Tampico, the three men dressed in women's clothing and boarded a ship bound for Galveston, Texas (family oral history is a little uncertain as to the destination of the ship -- it might have been New Orleans, Louisiana rather than Galveston). They stayed in Galveston (or maybe New Orleans) for about one year, with Basilio and his son Jesus finding jobs working for a railroad. The elder Jesus, Basilio's father, worked as a "water boy" taking water to the cotton pickers in the cotton fields.

After things had cooled down in Mexico, they moved back to Matamoros, Mexico, where Basilio's family soon joined them. Basilio's father Jesus eventually went back to Jimenez but Basilio's family legally immigrated to the United States and established residence in Brownsville, Texas, across the Rio Grande River from Matamoros.

After arriving in Brownsville, Basilio Alcala worked several jobs, primarily in the sugar cane and cotton fields and eventually became a foreman, whose duties included weighing the cotton. But in 1921, he suddenly became very ill after drinking some coffee, developing stomach pains and a fever, and died. Family members believe that someone poisoned his coffee, probably because they wanted the position he held in the cotton fields. Of course, these were only suspicions and, the times being what they were, no investigation was ever made.

A small part of the legacy of Basilio Alcala can be seen by driving along Southmost Road in Brownsville. The tall palm trees lining the road today were planted by Basilio Alcala and others.s. Parents: Jose de Jesus ALCALA Garza and Leonor FLORES Manriques.

Jesus Alcala was a man of privilege and a wealthy landowner in Santander Jimenez, Tamaulipas, Mexico. However, the Mexican Revolution brought an end to life as Jesus Alcala and his family knew it. Revolutionaries during that time were killing the landowners and confiscating their properties to redistribute to the poorer people who until then had not owned any land. Jesus Alcala, his eldest son Basilio Alcala, and Basilio's eldest son Jesus Alcala (the 2nd), were all marked for death by the revolutionaries. The only recourse for the three men was to flee from Mexico. Aided by Fiacro Betancourt, a son-in-law of Jesus Alcala, the three men, representing three generations of Alcalas, fled south to Tampico in 1916 or 1917. Jesus Alcala was then probably in his mid-60's, Basilio Alcala was around 45, and Jesus Alcala (the 2nd) was about 18 years of age. Once in Tampico, the three men dressed in women's clothing and boarded a ship bound for Galveston, Texas (family oral history is a little uncertain as to the destination of the ship -- it might have been New Orleans, Louisiana rather than Galveston).
