GENERATION 4
MARTIN OLVERA BORN C. 1820 -DIED UNKNOWN
Mexico's struggle for independence began in 1810 with regional skirmishes, which increased in intensity over 11 years. On 27 September 1821, the "Army of the Three Guarantees" proclaimed the independence of the Mexican Empire. In the same year, the United States of America had taken possession of Florida, it's newly purchased territory from Spain. It was likely during this time period that Martin Olvera, the son of Antonio Olvera and Leocadia Morales, was born. Martin was married to Pantaleona Montellano, the daughter of Jose Arcadio Feliciano Montellano and Carmen Calderon. Martin and his wife lived in a small residential area called Avilés, outside of Lerdo, Durango. We can document that between 1847 and 1871, they had at least 6 sons: Geronimo, Teodocio, Zeferino, Sotero, Anastacio, and Bacilio. Spouse: Pantaleona Montellano (Born unknown - Died unknown)
