Code entry
The way was now open to accumulate land in true baronial style by family alliance. Don Thomas and Dofia Maria betrothed their daughter Antonia to the governor's son, Captain Juan de Hita, whose ranch was near San Francisco. Another daughter, Maria Isidora, was married to Captain Francisco Romo de Uriza, whose ranch, the Chicharro, was visible across the Nayoa from the buildings at la Chua. Don Thomis's son Francisco was betrothed to Antonia Basilia de Le6n, daughter of the widow Luisa de los Angeles who had estancias east of the St. Johns. (See the 1763 map referred to in note 14 above; Freo Menendez Marquez II will, September 2, 1742.) [Note: These ranches of north central Florida figured largely in the third war of the Florida provinces.] (Bushnell MM)
