Hi, JMG,
Just curious about anything you might know about Rancho Palangana del Capote, across from Los Indios, Cameron County, Texas. I've only known it as Rancho del Capote or Capote Rancho. Did it extend on the north side of the river at Los Indios, also, and was it known by the same name? Do you know of any CANTU, TREVINO or GARZA families who were residents of Rancho del Capote in the mid to late 1800's and early 1900's? If you or anyone you may know who might have any information on the place and/or surnames, please contact me. I'd be MOST interested in communicating with them. Thank you so much in advance for your response and help.
Sincerely,
FG GARZA III

Does anyone have information on a Pedro Farias(?) that lived and was buried there sometime in the late 1880s. Or of his wife, Timotea Galvan that lived there while he was alive? Thanks for your help.

All these ranches were alongside the rio Bravo or rio Grande, on the Mexican side....La Palangana, Rancho Viejo, Las Ballitas, La Palma, el Horcon(Rio Rico), El Rosario, Sto Domingo, El Soliseno, El Capote, some of these ranches like el Capote were on both sides of the border, also El Rosario was on both sides, all these ranches were situated on a land grant called SAN VICENTE DE LA MESA, refused by a Cantu family during the first 80 land grants disbursed by the Spanish from April 20th through the 24th in 1768 to the local families and it was taken over by the Trevino family....there is not much information online, if anything...but...if you have the time and you can make it to Reynosa, the Archivo Municipal de Reynosa has plenty of information that you will not find online...I was just there and I still have a smile on my face, they have all the information on the ranchos of the North from 1700's, very very interesting, they have original documents, they will not provide any information online nor will they research for you, but you are more than welcomed to visit and research yourself, it's an awesome feeling to have these old documents that can be as old as 240 yrs old!!....attached is a document, a census from 1837 from San Vicente de La Mesa, all these ranches were within it's jurisdiction wich in turn was under the Jurisdiction of Reynosa...

Good Luck!

I have a map that dates before the 1900's and is probably constructed based on information from the 1840's-1860's...it has the ranches that were settled around the area at the time, I do not see any of the ones you are looking for other than rancho Maguey, not Magueyes, but singular Maguey....provide an email if you can... my email is mdo.cesar@gmail.com

Saludos,

My name is Anastacio Cantu Jr. and I too am trying to find relatives in Matamoros where I believe my grandfather Guadalupe Cantu was born who was married to Sussanna.My father was Anastacio Cantu,was born in Goliad Texas he had a brother named Paulino a sister named Maria,and a sister named Eloisa.My father was born in 1908 so I figure my grandfather may have been born around 1890 thats going back 18 years from the year my father was born.
