Lorenzo LONGORIA. Parents: Jose Lorenzo LONGORIA Serna and Maria Gertrudis CHAPA.

Lorenzo de LONGORIA. Parents: Pedro de LONGORIA and Catalina SUAREZ.

Capt. Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA was born in 1592 in Asturias, Spain. I have deduced his birth year from ages he gave while testifying in two separate incidents in Monterrey. Lorenzo gave his age as 60 on April 12, 1653 and as 62 on July 30, 1654. Therefore, his birthdate would have to be between April 12, 1592 and July 30, 1592.

In the "expediente", or proceeding, to approve the passage of Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria to the New World, Alonso de la Pontiga gave his son's age as "17 years, more or less" which would place his birthyear around 1586. This appears to be a response to one of the questions required to be asked of a person seeking approval to travel to the New World. It may be that there was a minimum age requirement for someone seeking passage to the New World without their family.

It may well be that Lorenzo was 17 years old when he travelled to the New World as a "criado" of his uncle Pedro Suarez de Longoria, newly appointed to the position of Oidor in the Royal Audience of Mexico City. I prefer to think that his age was purposely misstated when he obtained approval and that Lorenzo knew his own age when he testified in Monterrey in 1653 and 1654,, He died about 1665 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, New Spain. He was buried about 1665 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, New Spain. He signed a will on July 25, 1665 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, New Spain. Dated July 25, 1665, the testament was made before Second Lieutenant Nicolas de Ochoa, Mayor. It was witnessed by Francisco de la Cruz, licentiate; Sebastian Garcia, priest and vicar of that kingdom; Second Lieutenant Agustin de Saldivar; Jose de Salcedo and Juan Bautista Chapa. Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria was born in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain. He came to the New World as a the servant boy for Pedro Suarez de Longoria, who was coming to assume his appointment as "oidor" in the Audencia de Mexico. Both of them arrived in New Spain in 1603, when Lorenzo was only about 11 years old. By 1618, Lorenzo had become a soldier with the rank of Captain and was in Saltillo. On March 4, 1618, Captain Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria signed, at the Hacienda Santa Elena in Saltillo, a codicil to the will of Francisco de Urdinola.

In his own will, Lorenzo declares that he was born in Oviedo, in Asturias, the legitimate son of Alonso de la Pontiga and Ines de Valdes, citizens of that city. His wish was that he be buried in the Convent of San Francisco.

He also states in his will that he was never married, but he nevertheless refers to two grandchildren: (1) a granddaughter, Maria de Longoria, daughter of Antonio (perhaps Antonia ?) Rodriguez, and (2) a grandson, Jose de Longoria. Lorenzo is apparently stating that he was never married before the Catholic Church but he also leaves no doubt that he fathered at least one child.

His will lists the following possessions:
> Two engravings of the "Limpia Concepcion y San Lorenzo",
with frame of ebony wood, and silk curtains.
> One Holy Crucifix, small, made of "pasta", with a cross made of ebony wood,
and the ends of the cross made of silver.
> One Holy Crucifix, about half a vara (or about 17 inches) in height,
with a cross of ebony wood, joined with ivory, with a white veil and headdress.
> Arms.
> A mirror, which he left to his granddaughter, Maria de Longoria, daughter of
Antonio (should be Antonia ?) Longoria.
> Two baskets of military papers.
> One old chest, empty.
> One saddle, very old.
> One saddle bridle with its attachments.
> One military saddle.
> One "hierro" (branding iron ?) y algunas bestias (some beasts),
which he left to his grandson, Jose de Longoria.

Lorenzo made his declaration before Second Lieutenant Nicolas de Ochoa, mayor. His will was witnessed by Francisco de la Cruz, licentiate; Sebastian Garcia, priest and vicar of that kingdom; Second Lieutenant Agustin de Saldivar; Jose de Salcedo and Juan Bautista Chapa.
Parents: Alonso DE LA PONTIGA and Inez VALDES de Rodriguez.

Spouse: Ana de SALAZAR. Capt. Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA and Ana de SALAZAR were married. Children were: Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA Salazar.

Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA Salazar was born about 1629 in Monterrey ?, , New Spain. He died before 1678. Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria (the Second) was the natural son of Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria (the First) and Ana de Salazar. He lived in either Saltillo or Monterrey, or perhaps in both cities at different times.

Lorenzo (the Second) had several children by Antonia Rodriguez (citizen of Monterrey) and at least one child (Nicolas Suarez de Longoria) by Beatriz Gonzalez. His father mentioned only two grandchildren (Maria de Longoria and Jose de Longoria) in his will; there is no mention of Pedro Rodriguez Longoria, Francisco Rodriguez Longoria, or Nicolas Suarez de Longoria.

The Marriage Investigations of the Diocese of Guadalajara indicate that Pedro and Francisco were natural children (i.e., Lorenzo and Antonia were not married by the Catholic Church). In all likelihood, all his children were natural children. Parents: Capt. Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA and Ana de SALAZAR.

Spouse: Antonia Perez RODRIGUEZ. Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA Salazar and Antonia Perez RODRIGUEZ were married about 1650. They were not married by the Catholic Church. Children were: Fernando LONGORIA, Maria de LONGORIA Rodriguez, Pedro LONGORIA Rodriguez, Ana de LONGORIA Rodriguez, Francisco LONGORIA Rodriguez, Jose Jacinto LONGORIA Rodriguez.

Spouse: Beatriz GONZALES. Lorenzo Suarez de LONGORIA Salazar and Beatriz GONZALES were married. Children were: Nicolas Suares de LONGORIA.

Lucas LONGORIA was born about 1839. The 1880 Census lists his age as 40. He may also be listed in the 1860 Census (difficult to read the name) and he is shown as 21 years old. This would indicate he was born around 1839 or 1840. However, oral history says he was says he was 7 years old when he was captured by the Indians in 1835. Thus, oral history would say he was born about 1828. I believe the dates passed down by oral history are probably guesses, but that the story itself is otherwise accurate. Thus, I believe he was captured by the Indians about 1845, and that he escaped sometime before 1860, probably around 1857. He died on September 26, 1907. Lucas was captured by Apache Indians in 1835 and lived in captivity in West Texas for 13 years. His Indian name was "Frazada Escondida". In 1849, he escaped and found his way to civilization in Castroville, Texas. He was taken in by the Anglo settlers there who sent word to Lucas' family in La Grulla. Three relatives from La Grulla, Santos Ybarra, Inocencio Villarreal and Rafael Marroquin, traveled to Castroville and brought Lucas back to La Grulla.

After his marriage to Rumalda (or Romualda) Alvarado, they lived at Guadalupe del Torero Ranch near Linn, Texas.

The 1860 Census listed his age as 21, indicating a birth year of about 1839. The 1880 Census lists his age as 40, indicating a birth year of about 1840. The 1860 Census is consistent with the 1880 Census, but neither is consistent with the birth date given in oral history. I believe that oral history is accurate in most respects, excepting the dates. The exact year he was born, the year he was captured, and the year he escaped are probably not accurate in the oral history relating to his capture by the Indians. Parents: Eugenio LONGORIA Flores and Guadalupe VILLARREAL.
