Palmira Gutierrez Saenz 6-24-07
My Grandfather FRANCISCO GUTIERREZ was born in Guerrero Tamaulipas,
Mexico, on December 15, 1902. His parents (Francisco's) were Estanislado
M. Guterriez and Maria Benavides. Estanislado's parents were Antonio
Gutierrez and Pioquinta Martinez. It has been said that my grandfather
Francisco's family had a lot of land in Guerrero, but unfortunately they
lost it to the government.
When my grandfathers father died they came to Texas. So Estanislado M.
Gutierrez is buried some where in Guerreo Tamaulipas, Mexico. My
grandfathers mother Maria Benavides is buried in Falfurrias, Tx. Francisco's brothers names were Candelario, Enrique Gutierrez and his
sisters name was Margarita. Margarita married a Maldonado and they lived
in Hebbronville.
I am looking for Gutierrez family in Zapata.

My great-great-grandparents and my great-grandmother (at 10 yrs of
age) are listed in the 1880 census for Las Comitas Rancho, Zapata
County, Texas. According to family history, my great-grandmother was
born in Falfurrias, Texas which is in present-day Brooks County. I
understand that Brooks County was formed from part of Zapata
County. Can someone please tell me where Las Comitas Rancho actually
is/was? Also, was it a community, a town, or a ranch? Does it still
exist under a different name? Any information is greatly appreciated.
