Biography:
The 1880 and 1910 censuses for her son Ramon list her birth place as Washington, DC and the 1900 census lists it as Virginia. This could be because Arlington, VA was part of Washington, DC at the time of her birth and not at the time of the censuses. Her son Ramon once said that she had a large and well known family in Washington and a great many of them are buried in one the old cemeteries near Washington.
