  Family 2	LUGO, Jose Luis,   b. 4 Nov 1832, Los Angeles, Alta California
  Marriage	Type: not married
  	DAUGHTER MARIA JOSEFA DELA CRUZ CHAVOYA IS THE SAME PERSON AS MARIA JOSEFA DELA CRUZ LUGO: - Maria Josefa dela Cruz CHAVOYA's 1850 baptism record: -- father listed as Jose CHAVOYA -- mother listed as Maria Jesus GUILLEN (NOTE: Maria Jesus GUILLEN's stepfather is Joaquin CHAVOYA) - Maria Josefa CHABOYA's 1850 confirmation record: -- father listed as Jose CHABOYA -- mother listed as Maria Jesus GUILLEN -- madrina listed as Salome FUENTES - Maria Josefa dela Cruz LUGO's 1864 marriage License: -- listed as age 13 (est. yob 1851), natural of Los Angeles -- adopted mother listed as Salome FUENTES (same name as madrina on Maria Josefa CHABOYA's confirmation record) - Maria Josefa dela Cruz LUGO's 1864 marriage record: -- father listed as Jose Luis LUGO -- mother listed as Maria de Jesus GUILLEN Further investigation finds a 1850 Msn. San Gabriel baptism record which disguised Jose Luis LUGO's name when he fathered a different daughter out of wedlock. In a similar fashion, his true identity came to light in his daughter's marriage record. IN SUMMARY: Maria Josefa dela Cruz CHAVOYA's true father is Jose Luis LUGO, having his name disguised on her baptism record as Jose CHAVOYA, the actual last name of her maternal step-grandfather. Her true name is Maria Josefa dela Cruz LUGO CORRECT FATHER OF MARIA JOSEFA DE LA CRUZ: UNSUBSTANTIATED, but MOST LIKELY, this is the correct Luis LUGO, father of Maria Josefa de la Cruz LUGO - There are two Luis LUGO's in mission records who are the MOST LIKELY candidates to be her father. -- 1) This Luis LUGO: Msn. L.A. Plaza Ch. bap. 1832, of Jose Maria LUGO & Maria Antonia Cota AVILA RENDON *** THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE TO BE MARIA JOSEFA DE LA CRUZ ESPINOSA LUGO'S FATHER *** -- 2) Luis LUGO: Msn. S.G. bap. 1831, son of Felipe LUGO & Francisca "Pancha" PEREZ http://www.schwaldfamily.org/getperson.php?personID=I10323&tree=RodSchwald --- He married at Msn. S.G. on 04 Jul 1850 to Maria Eustaquia de la "Concepcion" VERDUGO ANALYSIS: It is POSSIBLE, but UNLIKELY that 2) Luis LUGO would be the father. - He married in July 1850. He had an illegitimate daughter born w/different mother the same year. DOUBTFUL he was ALSO the illegitimate father of this MARIA JOSEFA DE LA CRUZ born the same year. -- Birth Apr 1850, Illegtimate daughter Maria Josefa de la Cruz CHAVOYA LUGO: of Jose Luis LUGO & Maria Jesus GUILLEN (Verdugo) -- Birth Dec 1850, Illegitimate daughter Maria Guadalupe ESPINOSA LUGO: of Jose Luis LUGO & Maria Celedonia ALVITRE NOTE: Both daughters' father's identities were disguised in their baptism records. Their true fathers' names were ultimately revealed in their marriage records.
