Notities over Juan Jose De Los Reyes Berryessa

Josu de los Reyes Berrelleza (also spelled Berreyesa) was born at MissionSanta Clara de Asus on January 6, 1785, the third child and first son in the family of Marua Gertrudis Peralta and Nicholas Antonio Berrelleza. [1] He served as an army sergeant at El Presidio Real de San Francisco. In 1805, he married Marua Zacarias Bernal at Mission Santa Clara. The couple had 13 children during 1807-1833, with 10 living past infancy. [1] They moved in 1834 to hold land in Almaden Valley.

In 1842, Josu de los Reyes Berreyesa received from Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado a grant giving him one square league, or 4,438 acres (18 km2), of the land he had been cultivating, called Rancho San Vicente, near the Santa Teresa Hills and at the south end of Almaden Valley. The grant included a large section of the rocky hills upon which a rich source of mercury-carrying cinnabar ore was found in 1844-1845, and the discovery was made public. Mercury was an important part of gold- and silver-mining operations, and was in demand the world over, and especially in the California, USA gold fields after 1848. The neighboring grant, Rancho Los Capitancillos, was held by Justo Laros, who claimed the mercury mine was part of his land. [2] Andres Castillero also claimed the mercury mine was part of his land. Robert Walkinshaw and some other men squatted on the land in February 1845 and began to take lumber and limestone away for sale in August. [3] The New Almaden mercury mine began producing a small amount of rich ore in 1846.

In 1846, during the Bear Flag Revolt, three of the sons of Josu de los Reyes Berreyesa were imprisoned by John C. Frumont in Sonoma, California, USA, where one of the sons, Josu de los Santos Berreyesa, had been serving as alcalde. [4] Accompanied by two cousins, twin sons of Francisco de Haro, the 61-year-old father went to see how his sons were being treated in prison. After they landed their boat in San Rafael, the three men were shot and killed by three of Frumont's men, including Kit Carson, [4] and they were stripped of their belongings. [5] When asked by prisoner Josu de los Santos Berreyesa whether their father had been killed, Frumont said it might have been a man named Castro. A soldier of Frumont's was seen wearing the elder Berreyesa's serape, and Frumont refused to assist Josu de los Santos Berreyesa in retrieving it as a final token of their father to give to their mother. The three brothers resorted to buying the serape from the soldier for the extortionate price of $25. [5] Later, Kit Carson told Jasper O'Farrell that he regretted killing the Californios, but that the act was only one such that Frumont ordered him to commit.
