Domingo [Corporal] ALVISO

                   Francisco Xavier Alviso: "As a boy of 10 years of age he had come to
Alta California as a member of the Anza expedition with his parents
and family.  One can conjecture his pride as he rode by horse or mule
more than a thousand miles, over a period of five months, before the
expedition arrived at its destination of Monterey, California.
Francisco Xavier lived at the Presidio of San Francisco with his
mother and family, and his step-father Pedro Borjorques, whose little
daughter Agustina he was destined to marry.  The marriage took place
at the Mission of San Carlos Borromeo in Carmel on 12 Dec 1787, when
the bride was 16.  The entry in the Book of Marriages states that
both his father and mother were born at San Miguel de Horcasitas,
Sonora, and that banns were published at San Francisco and Santa
Clara.  It was almost mandatory for young men to serve in the army
around the age of 16 and, although we have no written record of this,
the fact that his 3 eldest children were born at the Mission of San
Antonio de Padua would lead one to assume that he was a member of
the escolta at that Mission.  A copy of his regimental register,
dated 4 Dec 1799 when he was 33 years old, states that he enlisted
from the Pueblo de San Jose (San Jose, CA) for a period of 10 years,
so this must have been a re-enlistment."  --  Reference:  Notes from
Frank C. Miramontes, to Bea Polloreno, 11-5-71.

Francisco Xavier Alviso married Maria Agustina Bojorquez in 1787 at
