Both Cipriano and his wife Juanita were born in Mexico.  According to the 1910 US Census he immigrated into the United States in 1876


In 1890 when he was 50 or 51 years old and she was 23 years old they immigrated into the US.  By June of 1890 they were living in Brewster County next door to the Silvas family.

Some sources say Cipriano Hernandez was the founder of Castolón
.  From Bob Wirt's Discussion comments we learn that both Cipriano and his brother-in-law Leandro Silvas arrived together at this location which was first called Santa Elena.
