June 29, 2024 - On this day in 1727, María Margarita de Ansa, infant daughter of Lieutenant Juan Bautista de Ansa, of the Janos presidial soldiers, and his wife, María Rosa Bezerra Nieto, was baptized. Padre Ponce de León performed the ceremony so that the little girl's uncle, Tomás Bezerra Nieto, the deputy priest for the presidio, could be her godfather. María Margarita's father had been recently appointed captain of the Fronteras Presidio at this time. She was the older sister (by nine years) of the famous Juan Bautista de Ansa who colonized the town of San Francisco, California.
