Bob Wirt writes to Louisa Herrera Madrid, daughter of Celestina and Crespin:
"When you speak to your mother, please ask her more about her birth place. I believe she was born in Terlingua de Abajo. That was a farming community along Terlingua Creek about 2 miles upstream from Santa Elena Canyon.

When I ask people who lived there about where they lived, they frequently answer "Terlingua", because to them that was the original Terlingua. The miners stole the name and renamed the farming community Terlingua de Abajo (also occasionally referred to as Terlingua Vieja).

To confuse the issue even more, the whole area (including Terlingua, Terlingua de Abajo, Castolon, Study Butte, Lajitas) was often referred to as Terlingua because that is where the post office was most of the time.  

She may not remember because she would have been a baby when they moved to Study Butte."
