Biography

Paolo Dragna is a Corleone native resident, the son of Tommaso and Giacoma Dragna. I estimate Paolo is born around 1738, twenty years before he marries.

Paolo marries Anna Maria Quaglino on 7 January 1759. His father has died by this time, and his mother is living.^[1]

Paolo and Anna Maria have at least seven children: Rosa (c. 1763), Rosario (1768), Vincenza (c. 1772), Paola (1776), Vincenzo (c. 1778), Caterina (1782), Maria (c. 1783), and Antonina (1785).

Rosa and Vincenzo's birth years are based on reported ages at death.

Rosario is born and baptized 19 July 1768. His godparents are Maestro Vincenzo and Maria Faija, a married couple.^[2]

I have estimated Vincenza is 20 when she marries.

Paola is born and baptized 25 January 1776. Her godparents are Maestro Biagio and Francesca Faiia, a married couple.^[3]

Caterina is born and baptized 15 April 1782. Her godparents are Vincenzo and Domenica Fruja ("Friia"), a married couple.^[4]

I have estimated Maria is 40 when she marries, given her oldest brother's age, and assuming she is close in age to her siblings.

Antonina is born and baptized 22 February 1785, named after her maternal grandmother. Her godparents are Mariano and Giuseppa Dragna, a married couple.^[5]

Rosa marries Maestro Tommaso lo Verro on 8 February 1789.

Vincenza marries Maestro Gaetano Nicolosi on 16 April 1792. Her parents are both living.

Donna Maria marries Don Giovanni Marciano, a widower, on 29 November 1823. Paolo has died by this time.

Anna Maria dies at age 84 (b. 1743) on 22 June 1827.

U.I.D(r). Don Vincenzo dies, unmarried, at age 57 (b. 1778) on 1 August 1835.

Donna Maria dies at age 50 (b. 1787) on 13 July 1837, during the summer of the first recorded cholera outbreak in western Europe.

Donna Rosa dies five days later at age 74 (b. 1763) on 18 July. She is a widow.

Donna Caterina dies five days later at age 55, on 23 July. She is unmarried.

Don Rosario dies at age 74 (b. 1768) on 11 June 1842. He is a treasurer in the Catholic Church, and therefore, has not married. Anna Maria has died by this time.

Antonina dies at age 95 (b. 1784-5) on 23 February 1880. She is unmarried.
