Description Joaquin de Ortega y Prieto was born August 2, 1755 in Tordesillas (Valladolid), Spain.
He died in 1826 in Opelousas, St.
Landry Parish, Louisiana.
After a career in service to his country he settled in Opelousas with his family and raised cattle.
Ortega entered military life and became 'Comisione Artillery' or 'Guardian Royal Military' in Fort Pensacola living inside the compound on the 1784 census with his wife and oldest child.
His revolutionary service was Guardian of the Royal Artillery at Ft.
Pensacola.
Through letters between Ortega and various Spanish officials, we know Ortega was involved in traveling to present day Texas to arrange for cattle to be purchased and delivered in Natchitoches to feed the troops of Bernardo de G lvez.
Winston Deville, the internationally recognized authority on colonial Mississippi Valley/ provincial Louisiana genealogy and history, has written a number of articles on Ortega over the previous 30 years.
Winston is also a direct descendent of Ortega.
As mentioned, Ortega settled in the Opelousas area and is the progenitor of many citizens in the region.
This book is a time line of documents that have survived and whose contents gives us a glimpse of the personal and business life in the Spanish colonies during the period.
Ortega married Marie Soto de St.
Denis originally from Natchitoches.
Marie was the granddaughter of Louis Juchereau-De-Saint- Denis and Marie Manuela Sanchez Navarro y Gomez Mascorro.
Her grandparents - one famous French explorer and one Spanish - the granddaughter of Major Diego Ramon Governor of Coahuila and later Commander of the Royal Presidio San Juan Bautista de Rio Grande, Coahuila, Mexico, were married 17 February 1715/1716 in San Juan Bautista de Rio Norte, Coahuila, Mexico.
Marie Soto de St.
Denis' grandfather, Louis also founded the post of Natchitoches.
Today there are many people in Coahuila that may have Louisiana cousins and are not aware of this connection.
In the late eighteenth and early.
