Lisa, I have been working for several years on the Tejeda tree. My husband Louis Carlos Lambaria Tejeda came from Pleasanton, Texas. There are also alot of Tejeda's from this area. My first step was to visit San Ysidro Cemetery and that's how my list has grown. I also visited the cemetery in Losoya, Texas. Many Tejeda's rest there. In Campbellton, there are a few. My husband's great-grandfather came from Campbellton, Leven Mitchell and I have been working with that part of the family history too. I believe that Alex Martinez and I might be working on the same list. What year do you have for your grandfather? I will try to help. Mrs. Tejeda

Irma, We may be researching the same family. The Tejeda line of my family comes from my mother's side. My mother is Pilar Olivarez Martinez, Her parents were Jose Angel olivarez and Maria Antonia Tejeda. Maria Antonia's father was Severiano Tejeda who married Maria De Jesus Vara, who had earlier been married to a Pacheco. I don't have much yet but I would be glad to share whatever I have if we are working on the same famlies. Good Luck on your research. I have been able to trace my fathers side of the family (Martinez, Acosta and Mansolo) to 1731-1800 in Nacogdoches Texas, but have just started my mother's side. My mother is going to be 99 years old on June 16, 2000 and her memory is pretty good but you never know.
Alex ( Alejandro) Olivarez Martinez

Mrs. Tejeda, Unfortunately the only info that I have is that he was my mother's father. Her name is Maria Elida Contreras born on October 31,1936, so I'm assuming he was born in the early 1900's. My mother's mother was Josefa Contreras also born in Campbellton on March 10,1914. If any info please contact me at Denning6@aol.com Thank You.

My great great grandfather was Captain Leven Mitchell. There is an Atascosa County Record Book that has the family history of the Mitchell's and the Tejeda's. Luis Tejeda borned 8/29/1871 in /villa de el Carmen near San Antonio married Guadalupe Lavina Mitchell on 6/6/1898 in Atascosa County. The Atascosa County History book lists their children as Luis jr., who married Lupe Huerta, Trinidad married Pedro Rosales, Teresa married Jose Odell, Carolina married Chon Lopez, Elena married Francisco Lopez, jesus married Pilar Chapa, elezandro married Maria Gonzales,,,,,, Anselmo married Antonia Lambaria, Guadalupe married Benito Pena, David died at age 19, Leonore married Ray Gonzales, Henry married Paula. hope this was information you were looking for. Captain Leven Mitchell was born June 5, 1813 and married Trinidad Contreras. Leven Mitchell is buried in Cambellton Texas.
