My grandfather (joseph Y'Barbo) had two brothers, Lucien Candy Y'Barbo he was married to Mary Trinity Cherino and John Candy Y'Barbo. John Y'Barbo was married to Margaret Louise Montes, they had 10 kids and Joseph Adolph was their first child, which if my brain is working would make us cousins. I wish I could get to that cemetery.Let me know what you find...thanks

I have been going through the old postings, to see if I can pick anything that I maight have missed. I have seen several people ask about the grave of Antonio Gill Ybarbo and I have seen some rather odd answers, oviously from those who have not done research. I am also decended from this line and I hope that this helps someone out there who really needs it.

Thanks for giving me this information. I called the courthouse several years ago to verify that it was built over the old Spanish Cemetery. Also I was told there was some kind of marker outside on courthouse grounds mentioning YBarbo. The young girl that answered the phone didn't have a clue who I was talking about nor did she know that courthouse was buiilt over a cemetery. Her comment to me was maybe that is why the air conditioner is always messing up!!!!
I haven't been there but have been planning to go to check this out.
Do you know where his ranch was located? Is it under the river now? I went to Zwolle & Los Adaes and ask about his ranch but I was told that it is under the river now. He had a ranch called Burcelli (sp) do you know where it was located?
Thanks for sharing info.

You're welcome for the information. Sounds like the Court House in Nacogdoches has a ghost or in need of a good electrician. There are acouple of places to see. The first is in Sabine County Texas;
El Lobanillo.
Location: State Highway 21, near post office, Geneva.
Marker Inscription:
Pueblo of Gil Ybarbo (1729-1809), where his ill mother and other refugees remained when Spain evacuated colonists from western Louisiana and East Texas in 1773. Granted to Juan Ignacio Pifermo, and inherited in early 1800s by John Maximillian (1778?-1866), this is now Known as the oldest continuously occupied site in East Texas.

As for his ranch house, I couldn't tell you if it is under water or not, but I do have a scanned picture of it from the Library of Congress.
It is in San Augustin County, Texas, not Louisiana..

Any other questions or help that I could provide, just ask and I would be glad to try and provide it for you.

Yes, she inferred they may just have a ghost haunting them and now she has his name!
Thanks for the information.
Have you gone to the church archives in San Antonio to find any documents? I was wondering if they had a marriage certificate of his parents or his?
Have you done any research into his parents from Spain?
I have been trying to get some documents from Zwolle because in my llne one name is recorded by Carolyn Erickson different from them so not sure which is correct.
Thanks for sharing,

I haven't had chance to get to Texas to do any real research but. I do have somethings that my family has dug up and have sent me.
I know there are alot of people out there researching Ybarbo and I find the information interesting. I have been leaning more toward research on his wife, Maria Davila Padilla. Her family and her indian lines are much easier for me to trace, here in New Mexico, than Ybarbos Spanish lines. Which I honestly think and I may be wrong, that no one will be able to unravel his past. Not unless a researcher from Spain and one from the US work together, I don't see that happening either.
I do have alot of inforamtion on him that pertains to my line. But, that is where my interest in Ybarbo ends.

I know that I am coming across like a fuddie duddie, I am not trying to be but like said earlier, I am finding that I am more interested in his wifes family.

I put out a few quieries over the Internet on all the wives in my line but never got anything so stopped there. Were either of Padilla's parents from Spain? I just assumed they both were...thinking Los Adaes was made up of Spainards & Indians only.
I'm interested in knowing about YBarbo's life. I bought a set of handbook of Texas with a little bio of him. I copied all that they had over Internet about his military expeditions. I have Carolyn Erickson's book about him. I recently purchased a book written by J. Norman Heard but it had nothing that I didnt' already know. Do you know of any other books that I shoud purchase about him or about that time in history?
Keep me in mind if you come across anything interesting...I love little details.
