Research Notes

• Some unsourced family trees list her place of birth as Doctor Arroyo, Nuevo Leon, but this seems unlikely since both of her parents were from Matehuala, San Luis Potosi. She also married in Matehuala.
• It is possible she had an 8th child. There is a death record for a Jose Cazares whose estimated year of birth was 1898. Maria and Tiburcio are listed as the parents. However, Tiburcio died in 1896. It is more likely that this is Jose Diego (born 1896).^[4]
• Her marriage record estimates her year of birth as 1864. Her death record states she was 78 years old, making her estimated year of birth 1866.
