Francisco Jose de los Dolores de SOTO

                   "They recently opened a small museum in the rear of Mission Dolores
church in San Francisco, and the original baptism record is on
display in a glass case showing the name of the first white child
born in San Francisco.  He was Francisco Josef Dolores SOTO, born at
the SF Presidio on Aug. 10, 1776.  He was the son of Ygnacio de Soto
y Avila and Maria Barbara Espinosa y Lugo.  He married Ana Maria
Higuera on Aug. 13, 1795, and died July 15, 1835 and is buried in
SF Cemetery."  [From a letter from Edward Thomas (of SF) to Mrs.
Amelia Serrano (of Ventura; Josefa Wilson's niece), Aug. 21, 1978.]
