      PIO PICO and ASCENSION AVILA:
      California Spanish Genealogy - by SFgenealogy
      Obituaries
      AVILA - Los Angeles Times, Sep 9, 1895
      THE AVILA HEIRS
        "Previous to the death of Don Avila, Ascencion married Thomas Sanchez, and by him had six children, one of whom was Thomas Sanchez, Jr.
        After the death of her husband, Ascencion lived with Don Pio Pico, who was the last Governor of California under the Mexican dominion. In those days the laws in reference to marriage were not as strict as they are now, and, as a matter of fact, public opinion in the matter of marriage formalities did not compel or press particular requirements as it does now. County clerks' offices were few and far between, and such a thing as a marriage license was unheard of.
        I have been told on what I believe to be good authority that Don Pio Pico intended to go through the formality of a marriage ceremony with Ascencion. Just as he was about to do that, however, he was called away on business as Governor, which took him to a remote part of the State.
        In those days traveling was slow at best, so that considerable time elapsed before he returned. When he did reach home again, it was only to find that Ascencion was dead."

        "Be that as it may, Ascencion had two daughters by Pio Pico, Griselda and Joaquina. The former has never married. Joaquina, who is my mother, married Jose Moreno, and my aunt Griselda lives with us at No. 136 West Fifteenth street. Besides myself there are six brothers and sisters."

      FATHER OF GRISELDA AND JOAQUINA AVILA PICO:
      "Griselda and Joaquina Avila and Ranulfo and Alfredo Romero all claimed to be descendants of Pio Pico. However, major debate continues over their status as biological or adopted children.
         Ascencion Avila bore Griselda in 1838 and later, Joaquina, at whose home Pio died.
      ...
         Griselda, Joaquina, and Alfredo were ruled the biological children of Pio Pico by a Los Angeles court in an estate matter after Pio died... [Ranulfo died in 1883, prior to Pio Pico's death-JSR]
