His mother was the daughter of Native American neophytes Melchor Martín (no surname) and Christina (no surname; but widow of [first name unknown] Espinosa). José Francisco enlisted as a soldado de cuera ("leather jacket") about 1757 at Villa de Sinaloa, where he married Juana María Rita Martínez y Villanasul (also: Vianazul) about 1759 shortly before being transferred to Loreto Presidio, Baja California. In 1760 he was serving as mayordomo at Mission San Ignacio (founded 1728). He was recruited by Capitán Fernando Rivera y Moncada for the 1774 Expedition to Alta California. Francisco, his wife and three young children made the long trek to Alta California in 1774 and Francisco remained in Alta California the rest of his life. He was present as a military escort at the founding of Los Angeles September 4, 1781. Following his retirement from military service he obtained a Spanish royal concession* to a plot of land outside Los Angeles in 1789, where he built an adobe house that still stands (California Historical Landmark 984). Francisco died during a trip to Santa Bárbara and was buried in the Presidio Cemetery May 17, 1805 ("cementerio del Real Presidio"; BP Death 00112). He was the brother of Maria Pascuala Lugo y Espinosa, Maria Serafina Lugo y Espinosa and Maria Petra Lugo y Espinosa. * Unlike later Mexican land grants, which were permanent, a royal concession expired upon the death of the recipient and reverted back to the Spanish crown. That being said, there were never any "Spanish" land grants in California, they were all Mexican land grants made under Mexican law following independence in 1821. Biography by Steve
