Notes:
                   He was a soldier under King Carlos of Spain (Reference: notes from Bea
Polloreno)  -- Probably during Mexico's war of independence from Spain
(1810 to 1821).

Reference: Notes from B.P.:  Manuel Antonio Figueroa mentioned by Mr.
Keith Ponsford in the Alviso History as a soldier from Mission Dolores
who was one of the witnesses at the marriage ceremony that united
Maria Angela Trejo (widow of Domingo Alviso) and Pedro Bojorquez on
July 20, 1777.  The other fellow soldiers were Gabriel Peralta, Manuel
Arrellano and Ygnacio Soto.  This Manuel Antonio Figueroa could be the
father of Casildo Fideroa.

Antonio Fideroa (or Figueroa) and Nicolasa Espinosa of Sinaloa are
menitoned as the parents of Casildo Fideroa in the Book of Marriages,
Mission San Jose (Entry #2553), 21 May 1853, when Casildo wed Maria
Rosa Miranda. -- Notes from Bea Polloreno.

Notes:
                   Nicolasa Espinosa, wife of Antonio Fideroa, was born in La Villa de
Sinaloa, Sinaloa, Mexico (formerly a part of the state of Sonora,
Mexico).  Nicolasa therefore must have been descended from the
Espinosas of Villa de Sinaloa (which is linked with the parents of
Maria Rafaela Soto).
