      BIOGRAPHY - page 542
      "Jose Maria Estudillo was born in Spain, I think in Andalucia, in 1772, his father being an officer, and came to America at the age of fifteen years in 1787.
      Coming to Lower California in 1795, he enlisted July 23, 1796, at Loreto, where he served as soldado distinguido until August 1799, and then as cadet till March 1806.
      He was now made alferez and transferred to Monterey, where, on the recommendation of Gov. Arrillago, he was promoted to be lieutenant before the end of the year.
      He kept the lieutenancy of the Monterey company for more than 20 years, being much of the time comandante of that presidio, and was promoted to captain of San Diego in November 1827.
      To his 33 years of actual military service were added 11 years of extra time during the war of independence in accordance with the Mexican decree of March 1822. Estudillo, Hojas de Servicio, 1817, 1828, 1830, MS.

      In 1810 Estudillo was complimented for the ability with which he had defended three Indians accused of murder, by the auditor de guerra in Mexico. Prov. St. Pop. Ben. Mil., MS., xl. 10.
      In 1817 he was recommended by Gov. Sola for promotion and accredited with having commanded a party of 13 men who prevented seven Russian fishing canoes from effecting a landing at Monterey, killing one of the occupants, capturing one, wounding several, and driving the rest away.
      In 1819 he commanded an expedition against the Indians of the Tulares, which accomplished nothing, see chap. xv; and in 1823 he was at the head of a company which was sent to escort Capt. Romero from S. Gabriel to the Colorado, but which lost its way and had to return, chap. xxii.

      Estudillo was accused by Santiago Arguello of neglect and cruelty toward the presidial company while at S. Diego.
      In June 1822 he was ordered to take command at Sta Barbara, and may have done so for a short time
      On April 9, 1822, he swore to the national independence.
      April 22, 1827, the governor sent the Mexican ratification of Estudillo's appointment as commandant, and Dec. 31st notified him of his promotion to be captain. Dept. Rec., MS., v. 39, 121-2.
      In 1828 the governor reported to the supreme government that, though a Spaniard, Estudillo, by his activity, intelligence, and services, was entitled to be considered useful to the republic, being a friend to the system which he had sworn to support. Id., vi. 34, 38-9.
      His death and burial on April 8th and 9th, 1830, was recorded in S. Diego, Lib. Mision, MS., 97; Carrillo (J), Doc. Hist. Cal., MS., 21; Dept. Rec., MS., viii. 94.

      Capt. Estudillo's wife was Gertrudis Horcasitas, a lady of Mexican birth, with whom he did not always live harmoniously.
      By her he had 6 children; and in 1828 12 of his grandchildren were living.
      He left no estate, though his son and daughter, Dona Maria Magdalena, a famous beauty and noted also for her charms of character, as Alvarado tell us, Hist. Cal., MS., i. 176, received each a land-grant of one league at Otay in 1829.
      His son, Don Jose Antonio, was a prominent man at San Diego, and the founder of the southern branch of the family, a member of which Don Jose Guadalupe, son of Jose Antonio, once held the office of state treasurer.
      Another of the captain's sons, Don Jose Joaquin, also figured somewhat prominently in public affairs before 1848, and was the founder of the norther, or Alameda county branch of the family."
