Marie Adelise Palvados
Anyone know of Marie Adelise Palvados or "Deliza" (1805-1879)?.She was the common law wife of Marianno Zepeda, and he dumped her with his two kids.One child, "Jose" or Joseph is not mentioned after his early childhood in 1829.Perhaps he died early.Napolean Palvador was born in 1839 or 1840 just before or during the time Deliza married James Williams.Sometime after his 10th birthday, Napolean decided to take on the surname Williams.Perhaps James adopted him.
By 1870, James Williams had died.Deliza had been moving around to various farm sites in East Texas and northwestern Louisiana with her daughter Elizabeth and Elizabeth's husband James O. McCall.They were in Shiloh, Louisiana in 1868 when the family decided to move to San Augustine County, Texas yet again.Deliza opted not to make this last move, she was already in her late 60s and was probably tired.So she stayed in De Soto Parish at her son Napoloan's farm.This is where she died, and was buried at the Shiloh Baptist Church in about 1879.
