Estate of Concepcion Suastegui

 

Ancestry. Arizona Wills & Probate Records.

I have posted previously about Concepcion Suastegui, sister of my 5th-great-grandfather Pedro Suastegui. Ancestry recently added newly digitized copies of will and probate records for the State of Arizona, and I've been able to locate her probate file from 1903. There are fifty pages in the file. Concepcion's son Adolfo Vasquez was the executor of the estate. Antonio Orfila Jr. was the attorney in support, and I've previously written about the long connections between the Orfila family and the Campuzanos in California. There are some other familiar names in the file - Federico Ronstadt and J. M. Ronstadt, Josefa Vasquez and Maria Jesus Vasquez Dalton.

The file includes a promissory note signed by Adolfo and Concepcion in 1901.

Adolfo and Maria Jesus Vasquez waived their rights to the estate and allowed the proceeds and property to pass to their sister Josefa.
