Earliest Known Ancestor
Francisco Acosta 1695
Francisco Acosta 1695
Note: Crisanto Acosta's daughter Dorotéa Carnero married Marcelo Domínguez;
their children include the following Terlingua families:
1) Pomposa married Luis Baeza - some of the Terlingua Baezas;
2) Patricio married Herlinda Olivas - the Terlingua Acosta and Olivas families;
3) Josefa married Teofilo Alvarado; their daughter Severiana Alvarado married Macario Hinojos - the Hinojos and Alvarado Terlingua families also descend from Crisanto Acosta.
So some Baezas, Olivas, Alvarados, and Hinojos families go back to Juan Francisco Acosta born in 1695.

Research Notes:
Vanessa wrote to FdT probably in 2014:
"I started my family history research without any experience in 2009/2010. Since then, I have been overwhelmed with never ending information, but none of it came easy. Some days, I stayed up until 4am because of the joy I got from finding new information. The biggest breakthroughs came from Amalia Adelina Ochoa's research, Ancestry.com, and websites including Life Before The Ruins, Prima Elisa's Blog, and Familia's de Terlingua.
One of the main differences from the information on Life Before the Ruins is the "first" ancestor. It is written as Francisco Acosta, which may very well be the correct name, however on Ancestry.com, I found sources that say his name was Pedro de Acosta. Most of my information on the Terlingua Acosta's was learned on Life Before The Ruins and sourced on Ancestry.com.
Cleofas Acosta, my great-great grandfather, is buried in the Terlingua Cemetery (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=AC&GSpartial=1&GSbyrel=all&GSst=46&GScntry=4&GSsr=2121&GRid=84866304&)." Vanessa López
