Francisco Solano ALVISO

                   Francisco Solano Alviso was born at Mission San Antonio de Padua, in
Monterey, CA.
During the years 1829-30, he was appointed the mayor-domo of the
Mission Soledad, after it had been secularized.  As yet, no record of
when or where Francisco Solano Alviso died; perhaps burial records of
Mission San Jose might reveal this information. -- Note by Bea
Polloreno.

Francisco Solano Alviso and his 3rd wife and family were living in
the San Jose area or district in 1841, and 3 years later we find
that Francisco is at the Santa Rita ranch that was owned by Dolores
Pacheco, in the capacity of mayor-domo.  This ranch was adjacent to
the foothills that run between Dublin and Sunol.  Francisco erected
an adobe building which still can be seen on the eastern side of the
road, being marked by a plaque that was installed in 1955.  -- Note
