BIOGRAPHY
--1802: Felipe de Goycoechea, commander of Santa Barbara, in preparation of retiring described to Raymundo Carrillo, as to what to observe and care for in both presidio (Santa Barbara) and pueblo (Los Angeles). With regard to the pueblo, Goycoechea is especially illuminating:
You have Ventura Zuniga in the pueblo, a lad completely void of any sense of honor, of the most vile thoughts, and who has done much harm. I thought that no other punishment would cure him but to place him in my presidial company. Despite all hope I was obliged to exclude him, because I did not want to see him executed.
--December 1806: Comisionado Francisco Xavier Alvarado had his hands full about this time with the two Ventura brothers, particularly Jose Ventura, and Juan Manuel Zuniga who had been committing excesses with married women. They were sent as enlistees to the Santa Barbara Company where Ventura had been a soldier beforehand until cashiered by Goycoechea. From his second enlistment in 1806, his filiacion described him as follows:
Jose Ventura Zuniga, son of Pio Quinto Zuniga and Maria Rufina; native of San Juan Capistrano and now living in Los Angeles; occupation, grazier; height, five feet two inches tall; age 25; hair and eyebrows black, eyes brown, aquiline nose, color of skin dark, beardless.
Zuniga eventually ended up at Monterey, while some of his family remained at Los Angeles.
