"Macario Hinojos, Jr. was born on 8 June 1909 in TX.  He was  baptized on 30 October 1909 in Lajitas by Father Brocardus.

The 1930 Census shows that on April 12, 1930 Macario, then 20 years old, was a boarder with Charles Gideon Burnam in a house Charles rented.  Charles Gideon Burnam was the father of Evelyn Fulcher.  At the time Charles was 52 years old and was managing a ranch.  It might be that Macario was working at that ranch since the census shows him employed as a ranch laborer.

"According to newspaper reports, Macario Jr. was accused of fatally shooting Constable Felix Valenzuela in Terlingua on 19 June 1938.  After the shooting, he allegedly fled into Mexico, changed his name, and was never apprehended.  He was deceased by 1 April 2004."

Research Notes:

In Dec 2009 Selma Huitron wrote to FdT: "
Mi abuelo acá en México se llamó Francisco Alvarado Dominguez, por lo tanto sus hijos llevan el apellido Alvarado. Supongo que él se mandó hacer un acta de nacimiento con ese nombre ya vez que antes era más fácil hacer eso en México.
Mami es la mayor de 9 hermanos, ella se llama María Isabel Alvarado Sánchez y mi papi es Sevastián Huitrón Alarcón. Tenemos imágenes de mi abuelo en la boda de mis padres.
Mi abuelo falleció el 27 de Junio de 1982, quizá ya Bob corrigió ese dato.

On Monday, 09 Aug 2010 19:17:57  Virginia Benavidez posted on the discussion page "Discuss Any Family" that she belonged to the Hinojos Family.  She gave us information on her mother, Petra Acosta Benavidez, her  grandmother,  Isabel Hinojos Acosta, and connecting her to the family of Macario Hinojos, Sr. and his wife, Severiana Alvarado.  This was during the time we had taken time off after a year of intense work on this site.  We are just now updating the site on a part-time basis, but we are happy to add those pages for her family. 

Interestingly, on Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:43:58 Selma posted "Hello: Macario Hinojos was my grandfather, on "Discuss Any Topic You Want."  She was looking to see more about his life in Lajitas, Texas.  

The stated policy of Familias de Terlingua is respect.  We do not intend to speak ill of anyone.  You can find our policies on the page " About Us."  We collect information with respect and use it to connect people with respect.  So we contacted Selma offering to print any information to fill the bare bones of information from documents and newspaper clippings.  It was a warm exchange and we look forward to receiving more information to fill the pages of the greater Hinojos family.

Interestingly, it turns out that Selma's grandfather, Macario Hinojos Jr. was the older brother of  Virginia Benavidez grandmother, Isabel Hinojos Acosta.  We also contacted Virginia and invited her to share information, photos, and memories with us all.  We have added pages for the Hinojos family; and expect to update it with any information, memories, and photos that we expect they will share with us all.


The information on this page provided by Bob Wirt in his Documented Research Report on the Hinojos Family on Bob's website Life Before the Ruins and by Virginia Benavides in Discuss Any Family, and by Selma in "Discuss Any Topic."
On August 28, 2021 Antonio S Franco updated this page with information from the 1930 US Census showing Macario living as a boarder working on a ranch with C. G. Burnam.
