Revisiting Maria Jesus

Back in 2016, I wrote about the connections between my Granny's Campuzano family and the family of former Mexican President Plutarco Elias Calles. His mother, Maria Jesus Campuzano, was a daughter of my 3rd-great-grandfather Vicente Antonio Campuzano and first wife Benancia Gutierrez. The University of New Mexico Digital Collection has published scans from the archives of Plutarco Elias Calles, including family documents. I was able to run a search on the Campuzano family, uncovering the death record for Maria Jesus above. This record confirms her death in Hermosillo, Sonora on 20 June 1881.

The New Mexico Digital Collection includes other documents on the children of Maria Jesus Campuzano, such as birth records for Aquila Clemencia Calles, Jose Carlos Calles, Carlos Francisco Calles, as well as records for Juan Bautista Calles and his wife Maria Antonia Campuzano. Juan was the uncle of Plutarco Elias Calles, and adopted him after the death of his mother.

I also located the baptism record for Maria Jesus, in the town of Ures, Sonora on 15 October 1847.

FamilySearch. 

The New Mexico Digital Collection had a copy of the baptism record for Plutarco Elias Calles from 23 December 1878 in Guaymas, Sonora, listing Jesus Campuzano as his mother, and Plutarco Elias as father.
