Francisco Xavier Sanchez (1736-1807) of Saint Augustine is an important figure in the early European settlement of Florida. He had many children and this blog is open to discussing the history, genealogy, and tales of him, his descendants and their families.

The Sanchez Sisters
I came across this story about Sanchez women in the Civil War. This story may be a little off the topic since these sisters are descendants of Francisco Xavier Sanchez' brother, Jose Sanchez de Ortigosa.
The story has a few errors, but Lola Sanchez is known as a Confederate spy. [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art40197.asp]
My notes give their father's name as Mauricio del Carmen Sanchez (AKA: Maurice Sanchez) born in St. Augustine in 1799, and their mother as Maria Marquilla Oliveros. Their brother Manuel R. Sanchez served in the Confederate Army wounded, captured twice and received a Confederate pension. Many of these people are buried at St. Ambrose's Cemetery in Elkton, FL.
Does anyone have more Sanchez Stories to tell?
