Early Settlers of Laredo: Juan Bautista Sanchez and Juna Maria Diaz
One of the early and founding families of Laredo is that of Juan Bautista Sanchez and Juana Maria Diaz.
They are listed in the 1757 census of Laredo as follows: Don Juan Bautista Sanchez, casado con Dona Juana Diaz, diez hijos, todas armas y dos caballos. Heres is the English translation: Mr. Juan Bautista Sanchez, married with Mrs. Juana Diaz, ten children, all arms and two horses.
Juan Bautista is the son of Tomas Sanchez and Josepha de la Garza. I have yet to find the parents of Juana Maria Diaz.
Here is their family group:

I am a descendent of Maria Maxima Trevino married to Joseph Francisco Garcia. Maria Maxima was a granddaughter of Juan Bautista Sanchez through her mother married to a Canales.
I don’t have them in my database but yet I have to do more research on this family.
Mr. Garza please keep me posted. I am very interested.Iam related to all founding families it seems!
Olga, i hope that by this time you have found the information you were seeking back then.
There are three of us, that are related thru
Thomas Sanchez and Josefa de la Garza, Juan
Bautista Sánchez and Juana María Díaz.
Also Laurencio de la Garza and Josefa Pérez.
The parents of Juana María Díaz are
Miguel Díaz and María de Treviño.
It took a good while for us to find the connection!
The 3 we know are descendants are
Janet Killebrew, Josie Treviño Treviño and me, Juanita Galvan Delgado.
I hope this is helpful. Regards.
