Martie,
I'm not familiar with the names you have listed, so I'll list the info I have maybe some of it will sound familiar to you. My Grandmother was
Aurora Carreon, she was born 1911 in
Columbus ,
New Mexico . She was the oldest of seven children; her brothers were Roberto, Francisco, and
Raymundo. Her sisters were
Petra, Josefina, and Mercedes.Her parents were
Alejandro Carreon b.abt.1880 and Francisca
Valenzuela b.abt.1880 . Alejandro and Francisca
Carreon owned a ranch in Northern Chihuahua , near Parral and they also lived at times in and around
Columbus and
Deming,
New Mexico. Alejandro was one of the youngest of 14 children that his father Juan
Carreon had. I only know a few of the names of his siblings and they are: Jose, the oldest from Juan's first marraige,All the remainder of the 13 children are from Juan's 3rd marraige. The ones I know are a brother, Jesus and a sister, Maximiliana. I can find out more names next time I talk to my mother. Juan
Carreon was born about 1850 or possibly earlier in
Santa Rita,
New Mexico . He was married 3 times , Don't know the names of his first 2 wifes but this 3rd wife's name was Andrea
Ortiz b. abt. 1850 in Chihuahua, Mexico. Juan's mother's first name was Micaela , don't know here maiden name. My Grandmother always claimed that the
Carreon were French and her side of the family looked it. They were very tall, with fair complexions. My greatgrandfather
Alejandro Carreon was 6' 7" and my mother's brother is 6' 5" . A lot of us are 6 foot +
My grandmother also said that the family name was once spelled
Carrion. I have found on records that
Carreon and
Carrion were used interchangeably. There use to be huge family reunions in
New Mexico that my grandparents would go to , 300 people or more would attend. Sadly my family has lost touch with most of our relatives in
New Mexico since my Grandparents passed away.I hope some of this rings a bell .
