Repository: DRT Collection at Texas A&M University-San Antonio Biographical Note Weaving together several of the strands of San Antonio society, members of the Cassiano and Pérez families included descendants of the founding families of the community and immigrants to Texas from a variety of backgrounds. The progenitor of the Cassiano name was born Giuseppe Cassini in San Remo, Italy about 1791. Reputedly a trained seaman, he came to America as a young man, establishing himself as a merchant in New Orleans. He relocated to San Antonio in the 1820s, where he operated a store and traded extensively in land. In the move, his name was Hispanicized to José Cassiano, though he and his family occasionally used the Cassini name, particularly in business dealings outside of Texas. The Cassiano store provided supplies to Texan forces during the Texas Revolution, and Cassiano was active in San Antonio government after independence, serving as a city alderman in the 1830s and 1840s. Cassiano married four times after moving to Texas, each time to a member of an established local family. After the death of his first wife, Josefa Menchaca, he married the widow of the governor of Texas, Gertrudis Pérez de Cordero, with whom he had one son, José Ygnacio Cassiano. After his second wife’s death in 1832, Cassiano married Margarita Valdez, and had two more children, José Fermin Cassiano and Isabel Cassiano. Widowed again in 1841, Cassiano married Trinidad Soto, from whom he separated shortly after their union. José Cassiano’s business success and his ties to local families helped him amass a sizeable estate at the time of his death in 1862, and he left a considerable amount of land and personal property to his children. One of his largest holdings was the San Bartolo Ranch, between the San Antonio River and Cibolo Creek, originally granted to the Hernández and Menchaca families. Family connections probably aided in his control of this large tract, as Cassiano’s second wife, Gertrudis Pérez de Cordero was a Hernández descendant, while his daughter-in-law, Tomasa Flores de Cassiano, was also related to the original property owners. Cassiano’s sons, in particular José Fermin Cassiano, were involved in their father’s business, and continued to buy and sell real estate in the San Antonio area. Married to Tomasa Flores in 1857, José Fermin was likewise active in civic life. They had three daughters and a son; the youngest daughter, Teresa Cassiano, married Antonio R. Péres, a veteran of Confederate service. They became the parents of ten children, most of them remaining part of a tight-knit family circle in San Antonio. Among the children were Esther Pérez Carvajal, an educator and clubwoman, and Marguerite Pérez, also a teacher in San Antonio schools. Scope and Content Note Business and personal papers generated and acquired by members of the Cassiano and Pérez families provide a record of activity in San Antonio that stretches over several generations. The papers are organized into five subgroups, based on the family or individual associated with their creation. These are: Cassiano family papers, which gathers the earliest papers, and is primarily associated with José Cassiano, José Fermin Cassiano and other members of the immediate family; Paschal Leo Buquor papers, a small amount of business, military and personal items of the San Antonio and Floresville resident, probably a business associate of the Cassiano family; Pérez family papers, material related to Antonio R. and Teresa Cassiano Pérez, their children and grandchildren; General family papers, primarily later genealogical material, literary works, and printed material that are not identifiable as related to a specific individual, along with all family photographs; Palfrey family papers, a small group of financial records associated with an unrelated San Antonio family. Some of the series/subseries organization and content within these subgroups is detailed in the following outline: Restrictions Access Restrictions No restrictions.

  • The Historical Narrative of San Pedro Creek by Maria Watson Pfeiffer and David Haynes
    The Historical Narrative of San Pedro Creek By Maria Watson Pfeiffer and David Haynes [Note: The images reproduced in this internal report are all in the public domain, but the originals remain the intellectual property of their respective owners. None may be reproduced in any way using any media without the specific written permission of the owner. The authors of this report will be happy to help facilitate acquiring such permission.] Native Americans living along San Pedro Creek and the San Antonio River 10,000 years ago were sustained by the swiftly flowing waterways that nourished a rich array of vegetation and wildlife. This virtual oasis in an arid landscape became a stopping place for Spanish expeditions that explored the area in the 17th and early 18th centuries. It was here that Governor Domingo Terán de los Ríos, accompanied by soldiers and priests, camped under cottonwood, oak, and mulberry trees in June 1691. Because it was the feast of Saint Anthony de Padua, they named the place San Antonio.1 In April 1709 an expedition led by Captain Pedro de Aguirre, including Franciscan missionaries Fray Isidro Félix de Espinosa and Fray Antonio Buenventura Olivares, visited here on the way to East Texas to determine the possibility of establishing new missions there. On April 13 Espinosa, the expedition’s diarist, wrote about a lush valley with a plentiful spring. “We named it Agua de San Pedro.” Nearby was a large Indian settlement and a dense growth of pecan, cottonwood, cedar elm, and mulberry trees. Espinosa recorded, “The river, which is formed by this spring, could supply not only a village, but a city, which could easily be founded here.”2 When Captain Domingo Ramón visited the area in 1716, he also recommended that a settlement be established here, and within two years Viceroy Marqués de Valero directed Governor Don Martín de Alarcón to found a town on the river.

  • Biografía Apresurada Del Lanzaroteño Juan Leal Goraz, En El Aniversario De La Fundación De San Antonio De Tejas (1731-2006)
    BIOGRAFÍA APRESURADA DEL LANZAROTEÑO JUAN LEAL GORAZ, EN EL ANIVERSARIO DE LA FUNDACIÓN DE SAN ANTONIO DE TEJAS (1731-2006) MANUEL A. FARIÑA GONZÁLEZ A partir del estudio de la familia de Juan Leal Goraz, en la que debemos in- cluir también a sus hijos casados: Juan Leal, El Mozo, y José Leal, procedentes del pago de San Bartolomé de Lanzarote; pretendemos adentrarnos en el conoci- miento histórico-cultural de la insospechada experiencia vivida por este grupo de colonos canarios en su largo recorrido hasta llegar al extremo norte de la Pro- vincia de Texas y Nuevas Filipinas. La ruta que se inició en Lanzarote les obligó a pasar por el puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife - San Cristóbal de La Habana - Veracruz - Méjico (capital del Virreinato de Nueva España) - El Saltillo - Mon- clova - hasta finalizar su camino en las cercanías del presidio militar de San An- tonio de Béjar, en la frontera política del norte del Virreinato. Aun a costa de ím- probos esfuerzos, y sorprendentemente con escasas bajas personales, procedieron al exacto cumplimiento del Real Decreto del año 1729, promulgado en San Ildefonso (Segovia), mediante el cual se les encargaba oficialmente la fundación de la nueva Villa de San Antonio de Béjar. Una vez consolidada la fundación y el consiguiente reparto de terrenos, de- bemos tener en cuenta que, hasta la primera mitad del siglo XIX, fueron canarios todos aquellos que ocuparon el cargo de Alcalde Mayor o presidente electo del Cabildo de San Antonio de Tejas. La lista se inició con el citado Juan Leal Go- raz quien, al igual que el resto de sus compatriotas, impulsó determinadas políti- cas de alianzas y de matrimonios entre las familias isleñas, lo cual les permitiría mantener el control político y social de la comunidad establecida desde el mes de marzo de 1731.
