Biography

Pietra Cocchiara is born and baptized in Corleone on 11 January 1831, the daughter of Calogero Cocchiara and Pasqua Buccellato. Her godparents are Leoluca and Biagia Nicolosi, a married couple from Corleone.^[1] She is named after her paternal grandmother.

Pietra marries Domenico Colletti, a miller, on 10 September 1848. Her parents are both still living.

Pietra and Domenico have at leastfour children: Vincenzo (c. 1850), Maria Rosa (1859), Salvatore (c. 1862), and Giuseppe (c. 1875).

I estimate Vincenzo is born within a few years of his parents' marriage. He is named after his paternal grandfather.

Pietra is an industriosa (manufacturer/trader), age 27, living in the San Leonardo quarter of Corleone with her husband, Domenico, age 30, when their daughter, Maria Rosa, is born, on 5 September 1859.

Salvatore is born around 1862, based on his age at death.

I estimate Giuseppe is born around 1875, thirty years before he marries.

Vincenzo marries Giovina di Giglia on 29 February 1876.^[2]

Maria Rosa marries Micalangelo Birtone 25 January 1879. She dies 1 June 1880 at age 21.

Pietra is killed on 28 August 1896 at age 65. Her husband survives her. This record calls her mother Biagia Boccellato.

Salvatore dies in the hospital at age 36 (b. 1862) on 21 August 1898. His wife, Anna Giaccone, and his father, Domenico, survive him.

Giuseppe marries Lucia Mancuso Marcello on 2 December 1905. Domenico has died by this time.
