Leoluca Gariffo is a Corleone native resident, the son of Antonino and Giovanna Gariffo. I estimate he is born around 1697, twenty years before he marries.
Leoluca marries Cira Cutrara on 19 September 1717. Their parents have all died by this time.[1]
Leoluca and Cira have at least three children: Maria (c. 1729), Sebastiana (c. 1736), and Castrenze (c. 1745).
Maria is born around 1729, based on her reported age at death.
I have estimated that Sebastiana is about 20 years old at marriage.
Castrenze is born around 1745, based on his reported age at death.
Sebastiana marries Matteo Oliveri, Gesualdo's first cousin, on 11 January 1756.
Castrenze marries Gaetana Terrano on 19 September 1763. Leoluca and Cira are both still living at this time.
Castrenze dies at age 48 (b. 1745) on 14 August 1793. Gaetana survives him.[2]
Maria, the widow of Gesualdo, dies at age 68 (b. 1729) on 28 July 1797.
