Vicente Balderas (1775-)

Information about Don Vicente Balderas can be found two extant documents in the canonical books of the Roman Catholic Parish of Banate, Iloilo (Philippines): The first, is the burial record of his grandson, Don Apolinario Juanico y Balderas, who died at the age of 80 years old and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery of Banate, Iloilo (Philippines), on 30 June 1910. The data can be found on entry n. 7 of the Burial Registry (1910 to 1935) of the Parish. It indicates that she was married to Don Tomas Juanico (a Gobernadorcillo of Banate), and Doña Lucia Balderas who, as the document attests was a daughter of Don Vicente Balderas and his wife Doña Tiburcia. The document is silent about the surmane of Don Vicente’s wife. Thus she is always referred to in the family genealogy their descendants as Tiburcia Balderas. The other document is the burial record of Matea Balderas y Baviera, also a granddaughter of Don Vicente and Doña Tiburcia Balderas. Her parents were Don Martin Balderas (a Gobernadorcillo of Banate) and Doña Apolonia Baviera y Barte, granddaughter of Felix Baviera, the first Gobernadorcillo of Banate in 1837. She died at the age of 51 years old and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery of Banate, on 27 October 1918. The record is found on page 52 of the Burial Registry (1910 to 1935) of the Parish. Consequently, this record affirms that Don Martin and Doña Lucia are siblings – children of Don Vicente and Doña Tiburcia Balderas. The names of the known descendants of Don Vicente and Doña Tiburcia are recorded in the genealogy of the descendants of these two issues of the couple. No other information on whether they have other children is avialble.
