Notes
a. Note:   Per Historic Adobes of Los Angeles County, http://www.laokay.com/halac/AvilaAdobe.htm: "Francisco Avila had four brothers who were also prominent figures in early Southern California. Antonio (Ignacio) Avila, who was mentioned in Jed Smith's journal, was a wealthy ranchero also. He owned 22,458 acres of land known as Rancho Sausal Redondo (Ranch of the Circular Willow Grove). This large tract was situated along the coast at Santa Monica Bay. Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and sections of Inglewood were later formed on this land grant. Bruno Avila was the grantee of Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela (Ranch of the Waters of the Sentinel). This ranch, consisting of 2,219 acres, later became the site of downtown Inglewood. In 1820, Anastasio Avila was granted Rancho La Tajauta. Named for an old Indian village located nearby, it was 3,559 acres in size. The community of Watts in south central Los Angeles now exists on this former rancho. Then there was Jose Maria, perhaps the most legendary of the Avila brothers. He was one of the leaders of the revolt against the tyrannical Governor Manuel Victoria in 1831. He and fifty other Los Angeles leaders were imprisoned by Alcalde Vicente Sanchez for plotting against Victoria. An army of 150 men raised in San Diego by Jose Antonio Carrillo and Pio Pico marched into the pueblo and released all prisoners. Victoria led a force from Monterey to stop the insurrection in Los Angeles. The two armies clashed near the Cahuenga Pass near present day North Hollywood . Although the gallant Jose Maria Avila was mortally wounded, he still managed to spear Victoria from his horse inflicting serious injuries to the governor before dying. Victoria won the battle from a military standpoint, but decided to step down as governor."
