Biography

Giuseppe Sciacchitano is a Corleone native resident, the son of Domenico and Sicilia Sciacchitano (sometimes spelled "Xiacchitano"). He is named after his maternal grandfather.^[1]

His family is recorded in the 1685 stato delle anime as Domenico, age 30 (born about 1655); Sicilia, his wife, age 25 (born about 1660); his mother Margherita, age 45 (or 49); his younger brothers Vito, age 7, and Filippo, age 12; and his son Giuseppe, age 3 (born about 1682).^[2]

Giuseppe marries Caterina Lanza on 9 September 1703. His parents have both died by this time.^[3]

Giuseppe and Caterina have at least two children, Domenico (c. 1711) and Margherita (c. 1715).

I estimate Domenico is 20 years old when he marries for the first time.

I estimate Margherita is 20 years old when she marries.

Domenico marries at least twice, first to Maria Pipia, a widow, on 9 July 1731.^[4]

Open issue: According to the church death records from 1734, a Giuseppe Sciacchitano dies at the age of 56 (born about 1678, the year after his parents marry) on 24 July 1734, which is before he is first recorded as deceased on his daughter's marriage record from January 1735. The record does not mention his marital status, spouse, or parents.^[5]

Margherita marries Arcangelo di Puma, a widower, on 17 January 1735. Giuseppe has died by this time, and Caterina is living.^[6]

Domenico remarries, to Serafina Gagliano, on 13 January 1755. His mother, Caterina, has died by this time.^[7]
