Household of Anastacio and Librada Canales-
Anastacio
Anastacio Canales, also spelled: Anistacio, Anastino, Anestacio, Carnales.
Born about 1849 Mier. immig in 1877 in Texas. He married Maria Librada Gutierrez
in Duval county Dec.15, 1877. He Died in Duval county. Age 72 in 1920 duval
census (last known census of him). Anastacio was a farmer. Hired son Placido to
work in 1914 manafest. Anastacio possible death is 1924.Was a residence Realitos
Tx. Found in 1880 Texas census spelled Carnales. Anastacio is not buried in
Librada's cemetery or at least there is no stone, Vandals have ruined alot of
the Ranchero graves. Other local Realitos cemeteries have been searched by foot.
No luck. Possible cemetery for Anastacio according to living relatives is Clovis
Cemetery. To call it a cemetery is being kind. It was a ghost town then and that
is being kind. At that time all that was left were a few stone walls and the
remnants of some headstones. It was trashed and van-dalized. It sits in the
middle of an old pasture (more like South Texas brush) and you have to go
through a fence to get to it. There is no gate, it is a few hundred meters from
the fence. Only some old timer would know where it is at. Anastacio and Librada
are found in an index card from the records of a San Agustin Parish, Laredo
Texas. Card reads: Anastasio Canales and Librada Gutierrez, Eugenio 1893
Blp50n30Hebron, Placido 1894 Blp56n111Hebron, and Eloisa 1898 Blp106n629 Hebron.

Determining who were the parents of Juan GUTIERREZ, husband of Ma. Antonia CHAPA
were is problematic.
The baptismal records of several of Juan and Antonia's children give conflicting
information as to Juan's parents.
Ma. Antonia's parents (the maternal grandparents) are consistently given as:
Cayetano CHAPA and Rumalda CANALES.
Juan's parents are listed as follows on the baptismal records of his children:
1. Baptismal record for Juan and Antonia's daughter Francisca (bapt. 1856) gives
Juan's parents as Ygnacio GUTIERREZ and Juana SANCHEZ.
2. Baptismal record for Juan and Antonia's daughter Librada (bapt. 1858) gives
Juan's parents as Encarnacion GUTIERREZ and Gertrudis GARCIA.
3. Baptismal record for Juan and Antonia's daughter Ma. del Refugio (bapt. 1860)
give Juan's parents as Jose Encarnacion GUTIERREZ and Gertrudis GARCIA.
4. Baptismal record for Juan and Antonia's daugher Ma. Manuela GUTIERREZ (bapt.
1864) give Juan's parents as Jose Juan GUTIEEREZ and Antonia GUZMAN.
Without primary source proof, I don't think you can definitively say who were
the parents of Juan GUTIERREZ (husband of Antonia CHAPA
