Their story:
Severiano and Rita Chavarría had sixteen children. Their first four children were born in Fort Stockton, Texas during the seven years between between May 1877 and May 30, 1884 when Fernanda Chavarría, grandmother of the Fort Stockton Vásquez family, was born. Some time between May 30, 1884 and before April 29, 1885 when their fifth child Petra was born, the family left Fort Stockton and were original settlers of a new settlement that later came to be known as La Coyota. The rest of their children were born in La Coyota. So when Pablo Chiquito was born in June 1901 the family had been in La Coyota for about 15 or 16 years.
Pablo Chiquito had a twin brother. They were born on June 18, but they were baptized on different months. Pablo Chiquito was baptized on September 22, in Terlingua by Father Brocardus. His god parents were Carlos Acosta and Pascuala Ramírez. His twin was baptized

In April 1930 he was living with his widowed mother in La Coyota and was working as a farm laborer. By 1935 he was living in Alpine, and the 1940 US Census shows him living in Alpine. Between 1952 and 1966 he was living in Fort Stockton.
Pablo died of a heart attack in Fort Stockton August 30, 1966. He is buried in Fort Stockton Catholic Cemetery. Maria was still a resident of Fort Stockton when she died in Odessa January 17, 1986.
