Maria Grizzaffi is born 8 September 1818 and baptized the next day. She is the daughter of Giuseppe Grizzaffi and Caterina Marsalisi. Her godparents are Giovanni and Antonia Mandina, son and mother.

Maria marries Giuseppe Morello on 4 June 1837. He is about nine years older than her, but his parents are living at this time and Maria's have both passed away.

Maria and Giuseppe have at least ten children: Antonina (1838), Calogero (1839), twins Caterina and Francesca (1841), Giuseppe (1846), Vincenza (1848), a second daughter named Caterina (1851), Angelo (1853), Leoluca (1857), and Liborio (1859).
