I just recently found out I'm a descendant of Rose and Manuel.
Madeline (b. 1853) is the sister of my great great great grandmother Hester Francis (b. 1860).
I've found records for siblings born in 1855 (Richard I think), 1858, 1862, 1864, and 1866 (no names listed) and other possible siblings (all born on the Berry Islands) including:
-John Francis b. 1848
-Oliver Francis b. 1850
-James Francis b. 1852
-Edward Francis b. 1854
-Manuel Francis b. 1856
There's also a Josephine Francis b. 1837, possibly sister of Emmanuel Francis, who married Henry Brennen b. 1830 and had a son, Henry Brennen b. 1885.
Benjamin Brennen is probably related to the man Hester married: James Brennan/Brennen.
As for the Gomez connection, Drexel's father Reuben was the son of Alfred Gomez and Raphaleta (or Savaleter?) Gomez nee Brennan, one of James and Hester's daughters.
