DON ESTEVAN DE LA TORRE, one of the respected citizens of San Miguel Canon,
Monterey county, was born June 29, 1818, in the city of Monterey. His father,
Joaquin de la Torre, was a native of Castile, Spain. Through his marriage to
Dona Ascencion Espinosa, the only daughter of Don Salvador and Dona Lugarda
(Castro) Espinosa, he came into possession of 1,300 acres of the famous Espinosa
rancho. This 1,300-acre tract has been subdivided and disposed of, with the
exception of 869 acres, which he still occupies as a home. It is delightfully
located about four miles and a half east of Salinas, on the Watsonville pike.

  Don de la Torre has five surviving children, whose names are as follows:
Juliana, now Mrs. Pablo Hartnell; Manuela, now Mrs. F. R. Rico, of Monterey;
Ysabel, now Mrs. K. J. Castro, of Gonzales; Julio T. de la Torre; and Lucia, now
Mrs. C. M. Fisher, of San Mateo county.

  Julio de la Torre was born in Monterey, December 21, 1860. He married,
February 3, 1883, Miss Annie Hartnell, daughter of John E. Hartnell, and they
have three children.
