Read More	Antonia was among the earliest to live in the Monterey Presidio, arriving with the second Rivera expedition with her husband, a soldero de cuera, and their two young sons. They were one of the twelve families to come from San Blas to Loreto and overland to San Diego and Monterey in September, 1774. Her daughter Veronica was baptized February 28, 1775 by Fr. Junípero Serra, for her family "pocos meses a esta parte domiciliados en el Real Presidio de San Carlos". He had been baptizing "gentiles" at the mission since late 1770, but this was the first week for those designated from families "razón". Her daughters were second and sixth; Gertrudis was baptized June 30, 1776, showing the sparcity of births among the families of soldiers. The parents were identified as "Joseph Manuel Higuera and Maria Antonia Limón" on Gertrudis' baptismal record, but thereafter she was "Maria Antonia Redondo" on documents, clearly a preference for her mother's maiden name. 1775 census Presidio de Monterey: Manuel Higuera, married [to María Antonia Redondo; children: Juan José and José Faustin] 1777 First census of Pueblo San José: Joseph Manuel Higuera, Spaniard, man, 33; Antonia Redondo, Spaniard, woman, 25; Juan Joseph, boy, 7; Juan Faustino, boy, 4; Maria Bictoria, girl, 2; Maria Gertrudis, girl, 1; Joseph, Indian servant, boy, 16; 1 horse, 2 mules, 2 mares, 2 oxen, 2 cows, 1 calf, 2 ewes, 2 goats.

Manuel and Antonia had nine children, founding the Higuera clan in Alta California.

A granddaughter remembered her as a strict disciplinarian, "with a concave face, a pointed chin and a nose like an eagle's beak". Both Antonia and her husband lived past age 80, outliving many of their children, having founded an expansive Higuera clan in California. She was buried at the cemetery of Mission San José Bautista, SBJ #02980, as Maria Antonia Redondo, vecina de la Natividad, an adult, age 80. Her parents were Eusebio Limón, born around 1723 in Mexico and Maria Dolores Arredondo, born around 1725 in Mexico. Perhaps her preference for her mother's name, Redondo, embraced their shared heritage in small Sinaloan villages with indigenous roots. Arredondo, as her mother was sometimes named, appears to be a geographic reference, probably the now defunct village of Mount Redondo, plus the preposition "a" for her association there, "of Redondo", and the phonetic rolling double r's as this would be pronounced. Her designation as an "española", and at other times "mestiza" implies a father with strong European, at least half, heritage.
