Maria Vintaloro is born around 1783 in Corleone, based on her reported age in 1807. She is the daughter of Arcangelo Vintaloro and Lucia Sciacchitano, named after her paternal grandmother.
Maria marries Francesco Paolo Cascio on 7 January 1794. Her parents are living at this time.[1]
Maria and Francesco have at least eleven children together: Maria Carmela (1799), Emmanuela (1802), twins Leoluca and Paolo (1805), Biagia (1806), Bernardo (1809), a second son named Leoluca (1810), Rosalia (1813), Liborio (1816), Angelo (1820), and Lucia (1823).
Maria Carmela is born 3 September 1799 and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Liborio and Paola Ponzio, a married couple.
Emmanuela is born and baptized 8 November 1802, named after her paternal grandmother. Her godparents are Don Leoluca and Emmanuela Guarneri, brother and sister.
Twin sons Leoluca and Paolo are born and baptized 26 January 1805. Leoluca is named after his paternal grandfather. His godparents are Don Francesco and Sigismonda Ducibella, a married couple. Paolo's godparents are Bernardo and Teresa di Puma, a married couple. Neither twin appears in the 1807 census, indicating they have both died by this time.
Biagia is born and baptized 13 March 1806. Her godparents are Andrea and Biagia Marino, a married couple.
The Church census of 1807, called a stato delle anime, records Francesco Paolo, age 31 (b. 1776), living at the entrance to the strada di Russo with his wife, Maria, 24 (b. 1783), their children Carmela, 8 (b. 1799), Emmanuela, 5 (b. 1802), and Biagia, 1 (b. 1806), and Giovanni Finocchio, age 20 (b. 1787), of unknown relation. (There is a Latin abbreviation, fam with an "s" above, that I cannot translate.)
Bernardo is born and baptized on 15 January 1809. His godparents are Giuseppe and Maria lo Cascio, a married couple.
The second son named Leoluca is born 17 August 1810 and baptized the next day. His godparents are Stefano lo Cascio and Domenica Sciacchitano, wife of Giuseppe.
Rosalia is born 17 July 1813 and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Girolamo and Biagia Cascio, a married couple. I believe this is Rosa, though she claims to be five years younger, when her first child is born.
Carmela marries Salvatore Ciravolo on 4 September 1814.
Liborio is born and baptized on 10 June 1816. His godparents are Giovanni Marino and Carmela Ciravolo (it's not clear if they are a married couple).
Emmanuela marries Mariano Pennino on 26 April 1818.
Angelo is born and baptized on 31 January 1820, named after his maternal grandfather. His godparents are Rocco and Vincenza Campisi, a married couple.
Lucia is born and baptized on 28 June 1823, named after her maternal grandmother. Her godparents are Paolo and Natalia Pennino, a married couple.
Biagia marries Salvadore Verdina, a widower, on 13 February 1831.
Francesco Paolo dies, reportedly at age 80 (b. 1752---probably closer to 56) on 5 January 1832.
Carmela dies at age 37 on 4 March 1837, the widow of Salvatore.
Emmanuela dies, reportedly at age 40 (she is about 35) on 29 July 1837, during the first recorded cholera outbreak in western Europe, a plague that sweeps Sicily and sparks a revolt against the Bourbons. Her husband, Mariano, survives her.
Maria dies that fall, reportedly at age 50 (she is around 54), on 4 October. The record of her death calls her Francesca and calls her mother Lucia Zabbia. This record also erroneously claims that her husband, Francesco Paolo, survives her.
Liborio marries Lucia Sciortino on 5 February 1843. By this time, Francesco Paolo and Maria have both passed away.
Lucia marries twice, both times to men from other communes. She marries for the first time to Giuseppe Nicolo' Glaviano on 20 July 1845.
Rosa marries Vincenzo Macaluso on 12 January 1846.
Angelo marries Salvatrice Provenzano on 16 April 1849.
Biagia dies, reportedly at age 60 (she is about 65), on 16 April 1871.
Angelo dies at age 54 (b. 1820), on 2 March 1874.
Lucia remarries on 20 September 1874, to Giuseppe la Vita.
Lucia dies, reportedly at age 75 (she is 79) on 22 November 1902. This record calls her the widow of Giuseppe Flaviano, and does not mention her second husband.[2]
