Turrey Before Me

My father Henry Sr. YOB 1933 (Seminarian St. Mikes Santa Fe 1946-1952), Army Vet, Union troublemaker, served as local Magistrate Judge and Village Council back in the 1970s), his father Estevan Turrey (Awesome Guitarist - Born 14 Oct 1912 died 4 Apr 1992) , his father Domingo Turrey (Another Musician - Born 2 Feb 1882 died 30 Jul 1948, married to Urbana Marrujo - Born 25 MAY 1889 died 14 MAR 1969 - one of her parents was possibly a Barela) (Parents of Domingo, Jose Maria Turrey and Rosa Manriquez) (Siblings of Domingo, Bruno a brother - settled the California Bay area, Juan Turrey, Angelita Turrey, Ramona Turrey Calles - possibly in Santa Fe NM area, and Evangelista Rael Alires), Domingo's father Jose Maria Turrey, there is some evidence (thanks to Sam G) that we come from the YTurrey family out of Rosales, Chihuahua, Mexico?.

Henry Sr.'s mother (Conception (Concha) Rodriguez -her parents Jose Angel Rodriguez (nickname PapaChe they say he was an Apache)and Candelaria Graves De la O (Nickname Malala) - Candelaria's Parents Buenaventura De la O (The old school teacher In Doņa Ana New Mexico featured in the October edition of New Mexico Magazine 1963)and Nicanora Graves - Nicanora's parents were killed, the killer was hung there is Doņa Ana, Her father was Sergeant Graves a soldier assigned to protect the public in that area).

Mother Rita Maese, her parents (Tito Maese - born in Clifton AZ) and (Cresenciana Gonzales - from the Hondo/San Patricio/Ruidoso NM area). Tito's father Anastasio Maese, Tito's Mother Candelaria Ortega. Cresenciana's father Epaminondas Gonzales (Florencio was Epaminondases father, Florencio was the local Probate Judge during the Lincoln County wars New Mexico late 1800's, Florencio's (aka Jose Florencio Gonzales Bas, former Catholic priest) father appears to be Santiago Gonzales out of the Corrales/Alburquerque area).

I am related to Turrey's and Marrujo's in the Perris California area, it's where Ramon and Alejandro (aka Cano, Alex) brothers of Estevan settled.

There is a pretty big Turrey family from the El Paso Texas area, I'm going to try and contact them to post some of the information I've compiled. We haven't established a connection yet. Pedro and Luz?

There are also some up in the Port Arthur Washington area that are possibly related.

The Turrey name is pretty rare, if you have any leads on possible links please drop me a line. There also seams to be an Anglo line, and a German line. I also have some info on Ancestry.com. God Bless and Guide you!!
