1. Bartolo, born in 1758
2. Santiago, born in 1762, died 4 months later
3. Juan de los Reyes, born in 1765

Research Notes

1. Although not certain, Miguel Antonio was most likely a member of the Romero de Pedraza family through Felipe Romero. However, it doesn't appear that this line of the family used Pedraza in their surname, just Romero.^[3] The LNAB needs to be corrected.
