Biography

Maria Castro is born around 1756 in Corleone, based on her reported age in 1807. According to the record of her marriage, Maria is the daughter of Giuseppe Castro and Antonina di Marta. The record of her death gives her mother's first name only, and probably incorrectly, as "Giuseppa."

Maria marries Gaetano Pomilla on 8 November 1772. Both her parents are living at this time.

Maria and Gaetano have at least thirteen children: Paolo (1775), Ciro (c. 1776), Sigismondo (c. 1778), Carmelo (1779), Nicolo' (1782), Giuseppa Maria (1785), Emmanuela (1786), Antonia (1789), Sigismonda (c. 1791), Calogero (1793), Lucia (1795), and two daughters named Bernarda (1797 and 1800).

Paolo is born and baptized 3 March 1775. His godparents are Leoluca and Maria Botta, brother and sister, both unmarried.[1]

The birth years of Ciro, Sigismondo, Antonina, and Sigismonda, are based on their reported ages in 1807.

Carmelo is born and baptized 15 January 1779. His godparents are Angelo and Rosalia Trumbatore, a married couple.[2]

Nicolo' is born and baptized 8 December 1782, named after his paternal grandfather. His godparents are Castrenze and Arcangela Trumbatore.[3]

Giuseppa Maria is born and baptized on 12 January 1785. Her godparents are Maestro Gioachino and Francesca Triolo, a married couple.[4]

Emmanuela is born and baptized 15 August 1786, named after her paternal aunt. Her godparents are Ignacio and Salvatrice Sanfilippo, a married couple.[5]

Antonia is born and baptized 29 January 1789, named after her maternal grandmother. Her godparents are Ignacio Sanfilippo and Giovanna di Miceli, who is unmarried.[6]

Calogero is born and baptized 1 August 1793. His godparents are Andrea and Biagia Marino, a married couple.

Lucia is born and baptized 17 May 1795. Her godparents are Bernardo Pumilla, who is unmarried, and Pietra di Puma, wife of Nicolo'.

The first daughter named Bernarda is born and baptized 15 November 1797. This record gives her surname as di Puma. Her godparents are Giuseppe and Lucia di Trapani, a married couple. She is presumed to have died before her sister is born in 1800.

The second daughter named Bernarda is born 7 April 1800 and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Biagio and Maria Colajanni, son and mother.

Emmanuela marries Leoluca Guzzetta on 14 November 1805.

In the 1807 stato delle anime, Gaetano Pomilla, 59 (b. 1748), lives in la vanella, an alley, behind Santa Maria (esce la strada dietro di Santa Maria, ripiglia la vanella di sotto) with his wife Maria, 51 (b. 1756), and eight of their unmarried children: Ciro, 31 (b. 1776), Sigismondo, 29 (b. 1778), Carmelo, 27 (b. 1780), Antonina, 19 (b. 1788), Sigismonda, 16 (b. 1791), Calogero, 14 (b. 1793), Lucia, 12 (b. 1795), and Bernarda, 7 (b. 1800).

Their neighbors include the three orphans of Ciro Cascio, the young families of Rosario Quaglino and Francesco Cascio, and the family of Lucia Saccaro, a widow with six children.

Antonina marries on 30 October 1808. This record calls her mother "Antonia."

Three of Maria and Gaetano's children marry in 1810:

Sigismonda marries Simone Bonanno on 18 February.
Carmelo marries Rosa Sciacchitano on 10 June.
Sigismondo marries Teresa Mancuso on 27 December.

Lucia marries Vincenzo di Puma on 1 October 1815. Maria and Gaetano are both still living.

Maria is widowed in November 1817 when Gaetano dies at the reported age of 77.[7]

Maria dies as the widow of Gaetano, reportedly at around age 57 (b. 1765), on 13 December 1822. She is 66, based on her given age in the 1807 stato delle anime. This record calls her parents "Giuseppe and Giuseppa Castro."

Calogero marries Liboria Mustacchia on 2 April 1823. This record gives Calogero's surname as di Puma.

Ciro dies at age 60 (b. 1777) on 16 July 1837, at the height of the first recorded cholera outbreak in western Europe. This record does not mention whether Ciro has ever married.

Four days later, Bernarda dies, reportedly at age 30 (she is 37) on 20 July. This record does not mention whether she has ever married.

Lucia dies at age 70 on 8 October 1865. Maria and Gaetano have died by this time.
