  Ignatio Pacheco, (deceased). The subject of this sketch, whose portrait will
be found in the pages of this work, was one of Marin's earliest and most
respected pioneers. He was born in San Jose, July 31, 1808, and remained there
until he reached an age suitable for service in the army of his country, when he
enlisted in the Service and came to San Francisco, being quartered at the
Presidio. At the expiration of his time, he came to Marin county and located, in
1838, on the Rancho San Jose, lying between the present sites of San Rafael and
Petaluma. Here he continued to reside until 1864, when he died. All old settlers
will remember Mr. Pacheco as one of Natures' noblemen, a man with a kindly face
and an open heart and hand for the needy. In 1841, he was married to Donna Maria
Loretta Duarto, a native of San Francisco, who was born December 18, 1827. Their
children are Salvador, born May 7, 1843; Gurnesendo, born January 13, 1852;
Catalena, born November 27, 1857; Augusto F., born October 27, 1859; Juan F.,
born August 21, 1861; Benjamin, born April 17, 1863.
