Biography

Tecla was born about 1860^[1] to Juan Romero and Macedonia Benavidez. In 1883 she married Diego Rodriguez^[2] but no known children were born. In 1920, she was listed as a widow on the US Census and was working as a servant.^[1]

Research Notes

1. There is a record on 6 Oct 1882 that looks like a marriage was performed for Diego and Tecla, but for some reason, it was not legitimate and the wedding was postponed to 11 Mar 1883.^[3] Also, both records point out that Tecla is related to Anselma Ortiz through her mother. Possibly an impediment was found related to that relationship.
