Vicente's Two Families

 

Vicente Antonio Campuzano's first family.

While trying to untangle the relationships and DNA connections descending from my 3rd-great-grandfather Vicente Campuzano and his two families, it is helpful to step back, draw some pictures and look at what we have. An illustration of Vicente's first family with Benancia Gutierrez is above. On Ancestry's Thrulines tool, my Mom and her two sisters have differing numbers of DNA matches descending from the children of Vicente and Benancia Gutierrez, ranging between 54 and 74. Some of these may be half relationships descending from Vicente only, and others very likely are also multiple relationships connecting to branches on our side through Vicente's second family or other currently unknown relationships.

I'm currently working through the self-paced Endogamy and DNA course through YourDNAGuide. It is timely and helpful, as I can now more easily see the problem of multiple relationships and DNA inheritance on this side of the tree. Previously I wrote about Maria Antonia Campuzano, who married Juan Bautista Calles. If my research is correct, Juan's father was Joseph Manuel Calles, and Juan's sister was Maria Manuela Calles (grandmother of my 2nd-great-grandfather Manuel Portillo). Maria Antonia's sister, Maria Teresa de Jesus Campuzano, married Francisco Calles, who is probably connected into Juan Bautista Calles' family. So we have multiple relationships there with sisters marrying men from a likely connected Calles line, and the Calles men also connecting into my Portillo side.

We also have Ygnacio Campuzano, who had a family with Mariana Portillo. Francisco Calles and Maria Teresa de Jesus served at witnesses to the wedding of Ygnacio and Mariana in 1866.

Vicente Antonio Campuzano's second family.

Our line runs from the second family with Maria Concepcion Amado through son Vicente Plutarco Campuzano. Vicente Plutarco's son, my great-grandfather Plutarco, married Manuela Portillo in Tucson in 1923.
