Marcos Ramírez

Marcos Ramírez 273S-T2Z ​
born 1777 in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico
died 26 February 1826 in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico

María de Jesús "Jesusita" Aguilar 
newer id?
GM8H-JLX
LDTL-BL7
born 1772 in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico
died 1815 in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico

Their Story: Marcos and María de Jesús were born in Ojinaga which is where the Conchos river and the Rio Bravo (now aka Rio Grande in the US) join  and is known as Junta de los Los Rios when this area was was part of New Spain and long before it was part of Mexico (1821), and so before it was part of the Republic of Texas, and before it was part of the United States (1847). 

In fact, María de Jesus was born here before there was a United States. And Marcos was born the year after the American Colonies declared independence from England (1776) before the first American constitution, the Articles of Confederation, came into force on March 1, 1781.  The confederation proved to be an imperfect union of the states, so later the present Constitution of the United States was ratified "to form a more perfect union." On March 4, 1789 the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution of the United States.

Mexico claimed this area when it became an independent nation on Sept 21, 1821 though they started their war for independence on16 Sept 1810. 

Many large families from the Terlingua area descend from Marcos Ramírez and Jesús Aguilar.   The Acosta, Baeza, Chavarría, Domínguez, Franco, and Molinar are among several families of the Terlingua area who have descendants of Marcos Ramírez (1777) and Jesús Aguilar (1772).  There are other families in Familias de Terlingua that are also connected to Marcos Ramírez but the research has not been yet documented.  Look at the bottom of this page for research information so that you can contribute to fill out these vast family trees.  One way to do this is to get a free account on the FamilySearch website owned by the Mormon Church.  Since it is free more people may choose to research and add their family information into the FamilySearch database.  So we have started including the FamilySearch database identification number for individuals on Familias de Terlingua as shown at the top of this page for Marcos 273S-T2Z and María de Jesús LDTL-BL7.
