Jesus RODRIGUEZ VIERA
December 30, 1890 (Age 31 years)
Shared note: It is likely that Jesus Rodriguez Viera, son of Petra Viera, and Jose Jesus Galvan Viera, also son of Petra Viera, are the same person or are both sons of Francisco Galvan born about 1893. The only other conclusion is that Petra gave birth to her son Jesus Rodriguez out of wedlock after her husband Francisco Galvan died. Petra never remarried after Francisco died in the 1890s and she always retained the name Petra Viera, widow of Galvan. No other mention of Cecilio Rodriguez and Petra Viera have been found in the San Luis Potosí archives.
