There they waited until January 28, 1800, when they traveled to San Blas to board the frigate Concepcion for California. The children were accompanied by the girls' teacher from the Casa, Maria de Jesus Lorenzana. She, too, had been abandoned at the Casa and had lived her entire life there. Maria was not just a teacher to the children; she was probably more like their mother. That may be why the director of the Casa had maria give up her position and travel to California with them. She was expected to remain with the girls in Monterey. The following children boarded the frigate Concepcion at San Blas and headed for California: Names of Boys - Race Jose Victor Lorenzana - Mestizo Juan Vicente Lorenzana - Indio Jose Maria Macedonio Lorenzana - Mestizo Manuel Felipe de Jesus Lorenzana - Espanol Jose Maria de los Dolores Lorenzana - Espanol Names of Girls - Race Maria Francisca Ignacia Lorenzana - Espanola Maria Josefa Pasquala Lorenzana - Espanola Maria Vicenta Lorenzana - Mestiza Maria Margarita Lorenzana - India Maria Toribia Lorenzana - Espanola Maria de Jesus Valeriana Lorenzana - Espanola Maria Ana Josefa Leonarda Lorenzana - Espanola Maria Alexa Josefa Lorenzana - Espanola [A]Polinaria Maria Guadalupe Lorenzana - Espanola Leonarda Joaquina Lorenzana - Espanola Maria Gertrudis Lorenzana - Espanola
