Seguin Family History
These
facts submitted by SDHP Member Raymond Seguin
(1641-1714)
Guillaume
(Guillermo) Seguin came originally from Gevaudan(Lozere),France.
He emigrated to new spain (Mexico) and died in 1714 at
Aguascaliente,a city north east of Mexico. Unfortunately the name
of his wife is unknown.
Bartolome Seguin ( ? -1791) son of Guillermo Seguin,was
born at Aguascaliente, Mexico but towrds the end of the year
1722, he moved to Bexar (now San Antonio,TX). Bartolo, as he was
known,was a carpenter and a farmer. He was the main worker in the
construction of the Large Veramendi house(which still existed at
the beginning of the 20th century). He was also an appraiser.In
1722, he was given a piece of land for the consrtuction of a
carpenter shop and in 1776, he recieved a second one north of the
city. He was a member of the City Council in 1777,1782,and 1786,
he married four times with Luisa Maria Magdelena de Ocon Y
Trillo,Manuella Martinez, Jacinto Ramos,and Bernarda Guerrero. He
had six sons and two daughters and he died January 11,1791.
Santiago Seguin(1754-_____) Jose Santiago Seguin Son Of Bartolome
Seguin and of Luisa Maria Magdelena de Ocon Y Trillo was born in
1754 at bexar.and was baptized on june 8 of the same year at the
mission church San Fernando.He was the first Seguin Owner of a
Ranch which he Inherited from his Grandfather Ocon Y
Trillo.contrary to his father, he launched his career in breeding
and trading Cattle. In july 1778,he married Maria guadalupe Y
Fernandez;they had five sons and two Daughters.He became a member
of the City Council for 1784,1787,and 1795but in this last
case,his election was contested by the Governor;disgusted, he
moved to saltillo,Mexico,where his brother-in-law,father Pedro
Fuentes Y Fernandez,had just been named parish priest.In 1803,we
find him back at Bexar
Erasmo Seguin (1782-1857) Juan Jose Maria Erasmo De Jesus
Seguin,son of Santiago Seguin and of Maria Guadalupe Fuentes,was
born on may 26,1782 at Bexar.Seven days later,he was baptized at
the mission church San Fernando. Don Erasmo became the first
Mayor of Bexar and the following year, land agent of the farms in
Texas.His Ranch the Casa Blanca,was recognized as a meeting place
for thousands of Americans who wished to settle in that region.
He was married Josefa Augustina Becerra and they had four
children and one of whom was Juan Nepomuceno who will later
become one of the Heroes of Texas Independence. Erasmo died on
November 7, 1857 and he was buried in the family cemetary of the
(Casa Blanca).
Juan N. Seguin (1806-1889) Juan
Nepomuceno. Seguin,son of Erasmo Seguin and Josefa Becerra,was
born on October 27, 1806 and he was baptized at the Mission
Church San Fernando at Bexar.Juan walked in his father's
footsteps and fulfilled many public tasks in
Bexar;Postmaster,Alderman,Mayor, and Judge.On January 18, 1826,
he married Maria Gertrudis Eusevia Flores Seguin. And this couple
had ten children. Captain Juan N.Seguin and his soldiers were the
only Tejanos Mexican Texian to join the Americans to defend Bexar
at the battle of alamo.Two of his and himself were the only
survivors because they had to cross the Mexican Army Line to try
to obtain reinforcements.he would later participate in the
victory at San Jacinto with General Sam Houston.Later on he was
Elected Senator in the 2nd, 3rd,4th congresses of the Republic of
Texas. Which had become Independent but will eventually be
unjustly accused by some Americans of Bexar and would have to
exile to Mexico.He died at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico in 1889. his
remains were moved to Texas in 1976 to the Juan N. Seguin
Memorial Park near the town of Seguin, TX, named in his Honor.
Today we find many Descendants of this Family In
Germany,Canada,Mexico,Texas.Unfortunately, with the Spanish
System Of Double names, Many male Descendants of this Family no
longer carry the Seguin Name .
After
publication of this article in our newsletter «La Séguinière»
on December 2000, I have found that there is probably a missing
generation between Guillermo Seguin and Bartolome Seguin that
could read as follow:
Joseph Antonio Seguin ( - ) Son of Guillermo
Seguin, Joseph Antonio Seguin was married at Saltillo, MX on
February 2, 1712 with Dona Geronima Flores de Abrego Y Valdes.
They had a son named Joseph Bartholome Seguin.

We all should celebrate Oct. 27, as this is the birthday of Col. Juan N. Seguin. Juan Seguin believed that every person should be free and independent. Freedom was Col. Seguin's Legacy. He gave his all to see Texas, or Tejas, free. This honorable citizen showed that with courage, dignity and determination within ourselves we all can make this world a stronger place for future generations.
