Early Settlers of San Antonio: Lucas Delgado and Maria Melian
An early settling family of San Antonio is that of Lucas Delgado and Maria Melian. They were among the Canary Island families that arrived in San Antonio in 1730.
I have yet to discover who the parents of Lucas Delgado are. For the parents of Maria all we know is taht her father was Francisco and her mother Ines.
To date, I have only been able to find four children for them.

Lucas Delgado’s parents were Juan Delgado and Leonor Pacheco de la Cruz. We know this because Marcial Clavijo, Lucas’s step father, lays out his will and testament and mentions he is the 2nd husband of Leonor and names her first husband Juan Delgado. The will is among the Canary Islands archival documents.
Maria Melian’s parents were indeed Francisco Melian and Inez de Ollos (Hoyos). Inez and Maria were both among the original Canary Islander families that departed Tenerife in 1730. We are uncertain as to what happened to Inez after her departure.
