Code entry
In the 1660s three of Francisco's sons by Antonia de Pedroso took their commissions in the garrison. The first one, Sergeant Major Juan, also became the accountant in 1664. The parish priest, the mistress of Governor Francisco de la Guerra y de la Vega (1664-1671), and Juan's wife all seem to have been related. Captain Antonio went on dispatch voyages and maintained the family trade connections. Adjutant Thomas, the youngest, married Maria Mejia de los Angeles in 1663, when he was twenty. (Ju Menendez Marquez II, July 4, 1668; Governor Guerra y Vega, September 18, 1667, and Joseph de Prado and Ju Menendez Marquez II, September 22, 1667; Governor Guerra y Vega to Governor Divila Orejon Gaston of Cuba, July 7, 1668.) (Bushnell MM)
