Spouse: Nicolasa DE LA GARZA. Francisco de VILLARREAL and Nicolasa DE LA GARZA were married after December 5, 1699. This marriage probably did not take place. About a year later, on January 16, 1701, there was another marriage investigation (#62-4, page 271) for the proposed marriage between Francisco de Villarreal and Agustina de Trevino and that investigation made no mention of Francisco de Villarreal being a widower. Furthermore, on January 18, 1707, there was a marriage investigation done for the proposed marriage of Gregorio Rodriguez and Nicolasa de la Garza and Nicolasa is noted as being a "doncella", or maiden, indicating she had never been married before. It thus appears that, for unknown reasons, the proposed marriage between Francisco de Villarreal and Nicolasa de la Garza never took place.

Gabriela VILLARREAL Ramirez was born about 1851. The 1860 Census shows her age as 8 years. That census also erroneously shows her as a male named Gabriel. The 1880 Census correctly identifies her as a female and shows her age as 27. A birthdate in July 1852 would be consistent with the ages shown in both the 1860 and 1880 censuses; however, she was baptized in 1851 so I am assuming she was born in 1851. She was baptized in 1851. She died in La Grulla, Starr County, Texas, New Spain. Gabriela's inheritance from her father Gregorio Villarreal consisted of the following:
1/7 of 5 sitios in "La Encantada", or about 3163.14 acres
1/7 of 1 sitio in "El Panal", or about 632.63 acres
1/7 of 3 cordeles in the upper part of Porciones 93, or about 189.79 acres
1/7 of 3 cordeles in the lower part of Porciones 93, or about 189.79 acres

Gregorio VILLARREAL was born in Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Spouse: Manuela LONGORIA. Gregorio VILLARREAL and Manuela LONGORIA were married on April 18, 1871.
Gregorio VILLARREAL Garza was born about 1818. His age is given as 42 in the 1860 Census, indicating he was born between August 6, 1817 and August 5, 1818. The 1880 Census gave his age as 56, indicating he was born between June 6, 1823 and June 5, 1824. I am now assuming that he was born about 1818. He died on January 4, 1882 in La Grulla, Starr County, TX, USA. He was buried. According to Antonio Molina, his wish was that he be buried in San Antonio de Bejar, and his children complied with his wishes.
I am showing Gregorio Villarreal as the son of Ignacio Villarreal and Manuela Garza, but I have no documents to verify this. I am basing this on two separate sources of oral history. Antonia Molina of La Grulla related to me that she recalled her mother saying that Gregorio and Yrinea Villarreal were brother and sister. My aunt, Odilia Longoria, indicated she had a note from her mother Ana Trevino showing that the parents of Gregorio were Ignacio Villarreal and Manuela Garza. I do know that Gregorio's mother was a Garza, so all the evidence seems to indicate that Gregorio was indeed the son of Ignacio Villarreal and Manuela Garza. 1/24/2004 UPDATE: A baptismal record located by Irma Longoria Cavazos verifies that Gregorio was indeed the son of Ignacio Villarreal and Manuela Garza.
On May 16, 1872, Gregorio Villarreal purchased from Mauricia A. Belden, the widow of Frederick (Federico) Belden, all of the "La Encantada" grant for $3000.00. In the description of the property, the southwest corner was placed at an original land mark called El Cuerudo; then proceeded North 1 degree west for 12565 varas to a large rock for the northwest corner, designated as San Pablo del Granjenito and being near the laguna Retamoza; thence East 10325 varas to the northeast corner, a large rock designated as land mark Layadero (also being the northwest corner of "Encino del Pozo"); thence South 12500 varas to the land mark called San Antonio for the southeast corner; thence west 10000 varas to the place of beginning.
La Encantada comprised 5 leagues, or sitios, of land and had originally been granted by Mexico to Jose Manuel Chapa on June 26, 1834. Jose Manuel Chapa, a citizen of Camargo, became discouraged "due to damage to cultivation from daily incursions by savage tribes" and, on April 10, 1837, sold La Encantada to Antonio Martinez Chapa, citizen of Matamoros, for 300 pesos. Only 12 days later on April 22, Antonio Martinez Chapa combined La Encantada with the Encino del Pozo grant (which he apparently purchased from Luciano Chapa on the same date that he purchased La Encantada from his brother, Jose Manuel Chapa) and sold both of them to French Strother, a citizen of Matamoros, for 932 pesos. French Strother held the properties for less than a year, and then, on March 15, 1838, sold La Encantada and Encino del Pozo to Federico Belden for 500 pesos, only about half of what he had paid just 11 months earlier. Thirty four years later, Federico's widow sold La Encantada to Gregorio Villarreal.
On September 25, 1873, Gregorio sold one league of La Encantada to Manuel Perez and another league to Juan Longoria. Beginning from the westernmost boundary of La Encantada, I believe the Manuel Perez league was the second league toward the east, followed by the Juan Longoria league. (The first league is probably the Garcia league)
The Inventory and Partition of the Estate of Gregorio Villarreal, dated Sept. 15, 1882, indicated his estate consisted of the following:
2 houses, the first "de madera cosina y mitad de solar y ancan cantiquo", and the
second "paredes de ladrillo y techo de madera con un jacal techo pajisos"
5 sitios, known as "La Encantada" (about 22,142 acres)
1 sitio, known as "El Panal" (about 4428.4 acres)
3 cordeles in the upper part of Porcion 93 (about 1328.52 acres)
3 cordeles in the lower part of Porcion 93 (about 1328.52 acres)
52 varas in the Porcion known as "Anacuas" (about 460.55 acres)
1 labor "del cupo de (7) Almudez de sembradura" (about 177.14 acres)
1 "potrerito que sirve para pastiar vestias y bueyes"
1 "solar, uviendo en la villa del Rancho que sirve para encerrar maiz"
494 head of cattle ("ganado baenno")
232 horses and mules ("ganado caballar")
21 hogs
5368 head of sheep and goats ("ganado menor")
24 loads ("cargas") of corn
Various household pieces made of iron, wood and stone
Cash in the amount of $1486.56 being held by Don Eligio Garcia
Cash in the amount of $27.50 being held by Don Nepomuceno Garza
Cash in the amount of $500.00 being held by Francisco P. Juarez
Cash in the amount of $800 being held by Gregorio's brothers, Antonio and Hilario
(This $800 was given to the 4 youngest children, Celso, Romana, Transito, and
Octaviana)
There is some inconsistency here, as a deed dated September 25, 1873, indicates that Gregorio had sold at least 2 (and probably 3) of the 5 sitios of land in La Encantada. A possible explanation is that by this time the La Encantada tract and the Encino del Pozo tract had been combined into one, and referred to simply as La Encantada; this would imply that Gregorio also owned at least 2 (probably 3) of the 4 sitios in Encino del Pozo. Parents: Ignacio VILLARREAL Elizondo and Manuela de la GARZA.
Spouse: Maria Ysidora RAMIREZ. Gregorio VILLARREAL Garza and Maria Ysidora RAMIREZ were married on July 2, 1848 in Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The 1880 Census indicated that two of Gregorio's grandchildren were at his house on June 5, 1880, when the census was taken. They were 11 year old Anita and 6 year old Enrique, who is noted as having small pox. Anita and Enrique were children either of Gregorio's eldest son Manuel or of his eldest daughter Gabriela. Gabriela was also present in Gregorio's house when the 1880 census was taken; she was 27 years old at the time and thus Anita and Enrique could have been her children. Children were: Manuel VILLARREAL Ramirez, Gabriela VILLARREAL Ramirez, Jose Cildo VILLARREAL Ramirez, Maria Rita VILLARREAL Ramirez, Celso VILLARREAL Ramirez, Romana VILLARREAL Ramirez, Transito VILLARREAL Ramirez, Octaviana VILLARREAL Ramirez.

Guadalupe VILLARREAL. In "Memories of La Grulla on the Rio Grande" Josefina Vera writes that Lucas Longoria had an uncle named Hilario Villarreal, who therefore must have been a brother of Guadalupe Villarreal. Could Guadalupe and Hilario have been siblings of Gregorio Villarreal, who may have been a brother of Yrinea Villarreal?
