Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the eighth of thirteen children, was born in 1808 in the then capital of Alta California, Monterey.
At the age of fifteen, Vallejo became a cadet in the Mexican Army and would later serve as head of the San Francisco garrison
and military commander of the northern part of Alta California. As a reward for his service and to encourage his leadership,
Vallejo was granted 66,000 acres near Petaluma, on which he operated a large cattle ranch from 1836 to 1846. In 1835, Vallejo
founded the pueblo of Sonoma. After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, Vallejo was forced into lengthy battles to claim his
lands. When he died in 1890, Vallejo was leading a fairly modest life on his remaining 200-acre piece of land in Sonoma he
called Lachryma Montis.
Among Vallejo's siblings were: Jose Manuel Salvador Vallejo (1813-1876), Captain of the Militia in Sonoma and grantee of Rancho
Napa, Salvador's Ranch, and (with another brother) Rancho Lupyomi; Encarnacion Vallejo (1809-1902), wife of John Bautista
Rogers Cooper, grantee of Rancho Nicasio and other properties; Maria Paula Rosalia Vallejo (1811-1889), wife of Jacob P. Leese,
grantee of Rancho Huichica and other properties; Jose de Jesus Vallejo (1798-1882), grantee of Rancho Arroyo de la Alameda;
and Maria Isadora Vallejo (1792-1830), wife of Mariano de Jesus Soberanes.
In 1832, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo married Francisca Maria Felipa Benicia Carrillo. The couple had sixteen children, ten of
whom survived into adulthood. Among the Vallejo children were Epifania de Guadalupe Vallejo (1835-1905), wife of John B. Frisbie;
Adelayda Vallejo (1837-1895), wife of Levi Cornell Frisbie; Natalia Veneranda Vallejo (1838-1895), wife of Attila Haraszthy;
Dr Platon Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1841-1925), husband of Lily Wiley; Jovita Francisca Vallejo (1844-1878), wife of Arpad
Haraszthy; Uladislao Vallejo (1945-unknown); Napoleon Primo Vallejo (1850-1923), husband of Martha Brown; Luisa Eugenia Vallejo
(1856-1943), wife of Ricardo de Emparan; and Maria Ignacia Vallejo (1857-1932, wife of James Harry Cutter.
Includes correspondence (primarily exchanged among members of the Vallejo family), financial records, poems, and biographical
sketches concerning Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, apparently gathered by Napoleon Primo Vallejo for a biography his father, which
was never completed.
