The origin of the Texidor or Teixidor surname is Catalonia/Gerona. The few Texidor who came to Puerto Rico were from El Ferrol or Sant Feliu de Guixol, Spain. They owned land and black slaves in Guayama and Cabo Rojo. Most of these slaves took the surname Texidor upon liberation around 1872. That is why we find white and black Texidor in Puerto Rico. I traced the list of Ignacio Texidor (white spaniard) slaves in Cabo Rojo and most of them took his surname and settled in Cabo Rojo, Lajas and Mayaguez. My great-grandmother Isabel Ramirez Texidor I believe was descendant of one of these slaves. She was mulatto according to 1910 census with the bluest eyes ever born in Cabo Rojo (according to people who met her). The blue eyes run in the family today but I'm certain we come in part from black heritage. Her name is not in the slaves list nor her mother's name Petrona or Petronila Texidor. But they could have been sold earlier than 1872 to another slave owner or liberated. To make research more difficult my great-great-grandmother Petronila Texidor is named the same than a white Texidor, daughter or Benito Texidor Vilossa (from Sant Feliu de Guixols). I have to go to Cabo Rojo's church to see if there is a baptismal inscription for my great-great-grandmother I guess around 1820.
