Yrinea VILLARREAL Garza1853,3283 was born about 1813. Her age is given as 47 years in the 1860 Census, which indicates her year of birth was 1813. However, there is a good chance the Census is in error as to her age (see note for her husband Juan Longoria's birth). She died on 13 December 1892 at the age of 79 in La Grulla, Starr County, TX, USA. She was buried in La Grulla, Starr County, TX, USA.295 She is buried in the same vault as her son Eugenio Longoria, her mother-in-law Maria Nicolasa Flores, her husband Juan Longoria and her daughter Yrinea Longoria Garcia.
Yrinea was from the Villarreales Ranch in Mexico.

After her husband died, Yrinea purchased, on Aug. 23, 1892, the interests of Romana Villarreal de Peña and her husband, Miguel Peña, in 250 acres in "Encino del Pozo" and "La Encantada". She paid $250 in USA currency. It was the intention of the grantors to pass one-half of the 250 acres to Yrinea Villarreal de Longoria and the other half of the 250 acres to the heirs of Juan Longoria. Romana Villarreal was the sister of Maria Rita Villarreal, Yrinea's daughter-in-law (and niece, probably). Parents: Ignacio VILLARREAL Elizondo and Manuela de la GARZA.

Spouse: Juan Santiago LONGORIA Flores. Yrinea VILLARREAL Garza and Juan Santiago LONGORIA Flores1076,1853,2335,2416,2417,2418 were married on 27 November 1833 in Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico.2419 This marriage date means that they might have had a child, Maria Sostenes, before they married, if Maria Sostenes was indeed born in 1832. However, there is some evidence (the Last Will and Testament of Maria Sostenes) that she was not born until 1834.
Juan Longoria was probably the first Longoria to actually reside in La Grulla. Josefina Vera writes "In the year 1836, Juan Longoria Flores, his wife Yrinea Villarreal, and their small children moved across the Rio Grande to settle in that part of their Porcion 94, and called the settlement "Los Mesquititos"...The portales and jacales were hidden by dense mesquite and retama. Thick log fences were built around the yards. Armed men guarded the place day and night. Through a small peep hole in the fence, they could see anyone approaching."

The timing of Juan's move across the river is very interesting. It was on March 2, 1836, that Texas declared its independence from Mexico. The Alamo fell on March 6, 1836, and Santa Anna was defeated in the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. With Texas now a republic, many "gringos" started forcing Mexican landowners of their lands and confiscating them as their own. To maintain possession of their lands, the Mexican citizens had to live on them and fight to keep them. I believe this is what prompted Juan Longoria to relocate his family from Camargo to the future La Grulla in 1836.

It is also very interesting to note that Juan Longoria lived under "five flags of Texas": the Spanish, Mexican, Republic of Texas, Confederate, and United States flags.

Upon their deaths in 1892, the estate of Juan Longoria and Yrinea Villarreal consisted of the following:
4415 acres in Porciones 93 and 94 (Starr County)
70 acres in Porcion 95 (Starr County)
930 acres in the Rucias concession of Guadalupe Sanches ( Hidalgo County)
1280 acres in Julian (Starr County)
5178 acres in La Encantada (Brooks and Hidalgo Counties)
2214 acres in L. Tomas de la Blanca de Gil Zarate ( Hidalgo County)
Four labores in Porciones 93 and 94
One house of brick, with lot and kitchen
Two lots with jacales
Two "arados americanos"
One carreta
872 head of cattle ("vacas paridas, vacas jorras, vaquillas, bueyes, novillo, toros")
164 head of horses and mules ("caballos manos, caballos viejos, yeguas, mulas")
3081 head of sheep and goats ("ganado menor")
Cash in the amount of $1209.48
The livestock was valued according to age. The lands were divided equally among the eight surviving heirs.

Children were: Maria Sostenes LONGORIA Villarreal, Eugenio LONGORIA Villarreal, Guadalupe LONGORIA Villarreal, Maria Antonia LONGORIA Villarreal, Barbara LONGORIA Villarreal, Maria Leonor LONGORIA Villarreal, Teofila LONGORIA Villarreal, Yrinea LONGORIA Villarreal, Ponciano LONGORIA Villarreal, Jose Maria LONGORIA Villarreal.
