Ana Naranjo, owner of the house, and Joaquin Blanco were as follows:

Saturday, 14 of April 1753, in the Parish Ana Marfa Naranjo, daughter legitimate
of Alonso Naranjo and Isabel de la Cruz, widow, received the Holy Sacraments,
made a will before Don Joseph de Leon, Esc. Pub./named as executors Don Joachin
Blanco and Sebastian de Herrera and as heirs of her soul and those of her parents
and husband deceased for two thirds and the other nephews and nieces Don Bartolome
Nieto, Don Antonio Nieto and to Petrona and Rosa Nieto as in the clauses of the
will.

(Sg.) Fray Juan Francisco Rabelo
Cathedral Parish Records, Saint Augustine, L loridal Burials, photostat 3562,

Conjecture: Either JoachIn Blanco or his wife Antonia de Avero had purchased
the Ana Naranjo house from the heirs before 1763, in which case it seems strange
that she did not so state in her claim, or attempt to produce some evidence of
ownership,

or

Antonia de Avero, knowing that her husband had had charge of the Ana Naranjo
property for ten years before 1763, decided to claim it as her property.

In any event, her heirs included it in their suit against Jesse Fish, and it
was included in the settlement made out of court on February 27, 1814, covering the
Ana Naranjo house and the house of Fernando Rodriguez "el Gallego."

See Testamentary Proceedings, Incidentes a los autos . Reel 6 Document 28
(El Escribano January 1963 page 15)

The four heirs of Ana Naranjo all owned other property in 1764, see Puente map.

Arnade did not pursue the Avero story on to its conclusion on any of the 3 houses
claimed by Antonia.
