Biographical Note

Arriving in San Antonio in 1784, Francisco Xavier Cháves brought with him a striking set of experiences that would place him near the center of events on the developing Spanish frontier for the rest of his life. Captured by Comanche Indians as a boy near his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Cháves lived with the Comanche and Taovaya tribes until he was about twenty-two, when he escaped and presented himself to officials in San Antonio.

Cháves then began a forty-year military career, serving frequently as an interpreter in discussions and negotiations between Spanish officials and local Indian tribes in Coahuila and Texas. Married twice, Cháves had eleven children with his first wife and five with his second. He died in San Antonio about 1832.

José Ygnacio Cháves (commonly referred to as Ygnacio), one of the children of Cháves and his first wife Juana Padrón, was born in San Antonio in 1791. Like his father, he served in the military and was active in business and San Antonio politics. Married to María Leonarda Montes de Oca (circa 1791-1881), the couple had fourteen children. Cháves died of cholera in 1849. The third generation of the Cháves family represented in the papers includes Tomasa Cháves (died 1919), a daughter of Ygnacio Cháves, who married Mariano R. García. The couple had twelve children, including Antonio A. García, whose foster son, Adolph Anthony Garza, inherited the family papers.

Another family represented in the papers is that of Francisca Flores de O'Farrell, a great- niece of María Leonarda Montes (other familial relationships probably exist, due to several marriages between the Flores, Montes, Cháves, Zambrano, and Indo families) and a descendent of the Flores de Abrego y Valdes family, early residents of Saltillo who came to San Antonio in the mid-eighteenth century. Married to Federico O'Farrell in 1895, Francisca Flores generally resumed the use of her maiden name after she was abandoned by her husband in 1903.
