Biagio appears in the 1811 stato delle anime, age eleven.
The first daughter named Maria, after her paternal grandmother, is born and baptized 24 April 1798. This record calls Antonina by her mother's surname, Caputo. Maria's godparents are Luca and Gaetana di Giglio, a married couple. Maria is presumed to have died before her sister is born in 1804.
The second daughter named Maria is born and baptized 1 May 1804. Her godparents are Luciano and Maria Jannazzo, a married couple. Two of Luciano and Maria's sons will be members of a criminal gang in 1834.
