Allow me to introduce myself, my name ...Greetings, <br />Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Romina JORGE RODRIGUEZ, granddaughter of Modesto RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ son of Ignacio RODRIGUEZ LAFUENTE and Antonia Decia VAZQUEZ AGUILAR, last spanish owners of the Hacienda "Aguirre" in Salinas, PR.<br />For a few years I have been trying to trace and collect information about my ancestors who lived in Puerto Rico. Which led me to your article in your blog Angelica furiosa, “Parcelera” del sabado 17 de marzo del 2018. This article was a mine of information for me, that is why on the one hand I wanted to warmly thank you 63for your research and on the other hand I would like to share my research . <br /><br />Effectively, by mid 19th C (ca. 1850), Antonio José Vazquez (married to Enriqueta Aguilar), a wealthy resident and member of a prominent family in the nearby town of Guayama, was granted lands he had solicited in the Aguirre ward, and established the muscovado sugar-producing Hacienda Aguirre. By 1859, the Vazquez Aguilar family was the largest landowner in the area of Aguirre, and reportedly owned an hacienda with a sugar mill. Following the death of the founder of the hacienda, Antonio José Vazquez, his daughter Antonia Decia, and her husband Ignacio Rodriguez Lafuente, inherited the hacienda, registering it in their name as "Nueva Hacienda Aguirre" sometime between 1879 and 1895 (Rodriguez y del Toro 1993a:l; Vazquez Bernard 2000:71, 82). <br /><br />In her letter written in 1936, Miss Enriqueta Vazquez, was not entirely wrong.<br />His father Enrique Vazquez is indeed the brother of Antonia Decia Vazquez Aguilar. He was married to Isabel Rivera and with their children moved to Manhattan around 1894. <br />For her part, the sister of Enrique Vazquez, Antonia Decia married Ignacio Rodriguez Lafuente, a lawyer from Mayorga de Campos in Spain. Ignacio Rodriguez Lafuente's mother, Eduviges Lafuente Zamalloa is the sister of the famous historian Modesto Lafuente Zamalloa (José Antonio Carrillo Franco: La vinculación de Modesto Lafuente y su Familia con Mayorga de Campos, 2014) mentioned by Miss Enriqueta Vazquez.<br />Ignacio Rodriguez Lafuente and Antonia Decia Vazquez had several children including my grandfather Modesto Rodriguez Vazquez born in Guayama, PR.<br />When Antonia Decia died in 1894, her husband Ignacio Rodriguez Lafuente left with his children to live in Barcelona. There he died in 1895 and left his children, including the eldest Igancio Rodriguez Vazquez, who graduated from the Law University of Madrid in 1898, as heirs to the Hacienda Aguirre. (Carlos Encinas Ferrer, Encinas: El Pintor En El Exilio, 2017).<br />Returning to Enriqueta Aguilar, on the death of her husband Antonio José Vazquez, she remarried with Rafael Vazquez. From this union will be born Edgardo Vazquez Aguilar, half brother of Antonia Decia and Enrique Vazquez Aguilar, the only one who remained to live in Puerto Rico.<br />Here I hope to have brought you a clarification on the links between all the people mentioned in the letter of Miss Enriqueta Vazquez. <br />Knowing that the whole story around the sale of the Hacienda Aguirre is still very questionable because my grandfather Modesto Rodriguez Vazquez said that it was a spoliation and in view of this decision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico N ° 45 - decided March 15, 1904 (AGUILAR v. VAZQUEZ) one can have doubts about the honesty of Edgardo Vazquez Aguilar.<br /><br />I thank you for all your time and I wish you a wonderful day.<br />Sincerely, <br />Romina JORGE RODRIGUEZ<br />Romihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832031327747177130noreply@blogger.com
