A Guide to the Vicente Alvarez Travieso Papers, 1771-1783

He joined the Canary Islander migration en route to Texas and married Mariana Curbelo at Cuatitlán, Mexico. After arrival at their new home, San Antonio de Béxar, the Islanders organized a municipal government, and Álvarez Travieso was elected chief constable for life.
