Note: searchers for the Ladder Day Saints as myh Grandmother was a Mormon. They may hgave given the incorrect parents ofr Maurisia Duarte. Notes from Ruth Ellen Fadden about her grandmother and the Duarte's MAURICA DUARTE MY GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN SANTIAGO, LOWER CALIFORNIA. THESE ARE SOME OF THE BROTHERS MENTIONED HERE. MANUEL DUARTE WAS BORN IN SANTIAGO, LOWER CALIFORNIA 84 YEARS AGO. (I DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE WROTE THIS NO DATE.) ROSARIO DUARTE WAS A NATIVE OF SANTIAGO LOWER CALIFORNIA. HIS PARENTS HAD LARGE HERDS OF CATTLE AND WHEN THE APUUCANS TOOK SOME OF THE STOCK FOR MEAT, THE MEXICAN AUTHORITIES BEGAN PROSECUTION. THIS LED TO THE ENLISTMENT OF ROSARIO DUARTE DURING THE SLOOP OF THE WAR. HE HAD SERVED THROUGH THE MEXICAN WAR OF 1847. HE CAME TO MONTEREY AND WENT INTO CIVILIAN LIFE. HE WAS THE PROPRIETOR OF THE WASHINGTON HOTEL AND FOR 20 YEARS WAS IN THE BUTCHER BUSINESS. HE DIED IN MONTEREY AND IS BURIED IN THE CATHOLIC CEMETERY IN MONTEREY. ROSARIO DUARTE WAS MARRIED TO ALTEGRACIA DE LA TORRE AT MISSION SAN CARLOS. THE CHILDREN OF ROSARIO AND ALTE GRACIA DUARTE NOW LIVING ARE MRS SAPIN, MRS MACHADO, AND MR. DUARTE AND OTHERS. THEY HAVE THREE STORES ON ALVERADO STREET, OPPOSITE THE CUSTOM HOUSE AND ON THE CORNER OF SCOTT STREET. ALTE GRACIA THE WIFE DIED AT AGE 74 YEARS IN MONTEREY, A FEW HOURS AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND ROSARIO DUARTE. On August 21, 1900 Maurisia Duarte Patentee Title Transfer Authority May 20, 1862 Entry Original 160 Acres Mount Diablo, San Luis Obispo County, California Jacoba is listed with her parents on the 1850 Monterey County, California census as Duarte even though she married Jose Maria Acevedo May 30, 1836 in San Jose Del Cabo. In 1860 Maurisa Duarte is married to William Brown and Jacoba Duarte is listed as Jacoba Acevedo and she list's her children as Duarte Tomas Duarte and Josefa Duarte who are listed as the children of Jose Ygnacio Duarte and Josefa Castro in 1850 Monterey census. I found a Baptism record for Tomas Domingo Acevedo born in San Jose Del Cabo in 1839. So Tomas was Actually the Child of Jose Maria Acevedo and Jacoba Duarte but is listed as Duarte in 1850 and 1860 in Monterey. It is possible that Maurisia was named after Jacoba Duarte's Brother in Law Mauricio Castro who was married to Josefa Acevedo the sister of Jose Maria Acevedo married to Jacoba Duarte. ON the 1852 Census For Monterey Jacoba and Maurisia are listed together with Rosario and his wife Gracia. Jacoba is listed as a Duarte in 1852. Christine Martinez a Grand Daughter of Josefa Duarte, Jacoba's Daughter said she is if fact an Acevedo as her children's death record's lists her as a Acevedo with various spellings of the name. In Mexico it can be found as Acebedo. # 18 007147 California State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics Standard Certificate of Death Local Registered No. 31 Place of Death: Santa Barbara County, Hospital Full Name: MRS MARSIA DUARTE Divorced White Female Date of Birth: D.

Said Buried at the Calvary Cemetery but she has a headstone in The San Carlos Cemetery in Monterey, California and her son Joseph Julian "JJ" Brown is Buried in the same Plot. In late 1881 in San Luis Obispo County, California Maurisia Duarte was charged with allowing minors into her house of ill fame, but the Judge ruled there wasn't sufficient evidence to support the charge and she was allowed to go free. Since Maurisia Duarte did not pay her taxes of $2.76 for the year 1882-1883 her personal property, fixtures, furniture, a buggy and harness, and one horse were to be sold at auction in February of 1883. It is not known what happened, but she was granted a business license to operate a "Dance House" within the city limits from November 1883 until February 1884. However the license was revoked in early December due to it being a detriment to the good morals of the city. The mayor noted that most, if not all of the crimes committed in the city, happened at or near dance houses. He wrote "Drunkenness and crime, debauchery and depravity appear to run rife in and around said houses." After that the only details for her are that in 1900 she bought 160 acres of land in the Mount Diablo Meridian of Indian Springs Road.
