Abejardo/Albert Escuela and Jennie Diaz

Surnames: Diaz, Escuela, Hicks
Looking for information on husband's grandparents Abejardo/Albert Escuela and Jennie/Justa Diaz. Family history says Abejardo left Spain to England to New York and then to Florida. He and Jennie are listed in 1908 Jacksonville City Directory. He is listed as farmer. They had a boarder, Antonio Escuela, cigarmaker. Their first child was born 6-16-08, Victor William and second son in December 1909, Albert E. There were a couple more children, some say two boys, some say a boy and a girl. Around 1920 the three younger children were adopted or put into foster care. I do not know what happened to the parents. Victor went on his own and was living for a period on the wharf and docks at Tampa. He enlisted in the US Navy abt 1924 and the government changed his name to Esquilla. The second son, Albert, apparently ended up with a foster family named Hicks and was called Johnny. He went by that name for the rest of his life, legally changing it to Hicks in 1970. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
