Different source of information reports that Jose Antonio Robles married maria rosalia gertruis (chk spelling) merlopes in 1797 at San Lorenzo river. It is reported that he did marry Maria but when she died suddenly he then married Gertrudis.
Viceroy Branciforte of Mexico offered Jose Antonio Robles a chance to go as a poblador (original settler) of a new city in Alta California. The offer was a hansome one, with traveling expenses, a five-year subsidy, land and a chance to buy tools and cattle on credit.
