Biography

Maria Liggio is a Corleone native resident, the daughter of Nicolo' Liggio and Francesca Piranio ("Praino"). I estimate she is born around 1761, twenty years before she marries.

Open Issue: In a thorough search of the matrimonial indices, I have not found a marriage that matches the names of Maria's parents, as they are recorded in her 1781 marriage. The closest match I have found is for Nicolo' lo Liggio and Francesca Birtone, who marry in 1746. Cascio-10 22:18, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Maria marries Salvatore Riina on 16 September 1781. Their parents are all living at this time.^[1]

Salvatore and Maria have at least six children: Angelo (1782), Giuseppa (c. 1785), Francesca (c. 1787), Gioachino (c. 1788), Nicolo' (c. 1799), and Bernardo (c. 1801).

Angelo is born and baptized 6 November 1782. His godparents are Santo and Giovanna Sanzone, a married couple.^[2]

Francesca is named after her paternal grandmother. I estimate she is born around 1787, twenty years before she marries.

Nicolo's birth year is based on his age in an 1834 census.

I estimate Giuseppa, Gioachino, and Bernardo are around 20 years old at marriage.

Angelo marries Domenica Petranella on 1 September 1805.^[3]

Giuseppa marries Gioachino Pomara on 27 October 1805.^[4]

Francesca marries Antoninio Governal on 22 November 1807.^[5]

Gioachino marries Lucia Marino on 22 May 1808.^[6]

Bernardo marries Lucia Gennaro on 7 January 1821. His parents are still living.^[7]

Nicolo' marries Maria Palumbo on 26 April 1824.^[8]

Nicolo' appears in the 1834 stato delle anime, age 35 (b. 1799), with his wife and four children.
