I'd like to share all the information I have on who I believe to be the
grandson of the first Toca in Louisiana. I'm confident of much of the
information I've assigned to Joseph based on my research. However, I've
also assigned a body of research to him with less confidence. Some of this
information has been attached to him not because I have a definite
connection to him, but because it doesn't fit anyone else. I've copied my
notes below with some comments at the end. I'd appreciate feedback from
anyon

The information below explains some basic information about the list. I'll
send it out on a regular basis.

Welcome to the TOCA mailing list! This mail list is for anyone interested
in the TOCA surname. TOCA's originated in a small barrio
(village-suburb?)in Santander, Spain and have located in Cuba, Spain,
Louisiana-USA, the Phillipines, and generally everywhere! This mail list is
maintained on the ROOTSWEB system - a nonprofit genealogy c
Toca cousins - I just received some more unwanted email (spam) through the
TOCA-L list so you must've received it also.
I'm sorry for that - RootsWeb is actually able to stop much of that from
getting through. They send me the spam they delete so I can judge if it is
something that actually should get through.
However, in spite of their defenses, some does get through and I apologize
for that. Please just delete and don't respond. I guess it's the price we
pay for such a great thing as the internet!

Born to Jose and Isavel De Toca:
Jose
Born: 6 May 1800
Baptised: 8 April 1801
This appears to be the first Louisiana born Toca to Jose De Toca and
Isavel Delille. I should point out also that it appears that the child
was born out of wedlock as Jose and Isavel were married on 24 March
1802. It also appears that Isavel may have been pregnant at the time of
her marriage because Juan Domingo was born 12 May 1802.
I should point out that my research into the social mores of New
Orleans at this time
To Charles and list:
As previously requested, here is the information on the death of Isavel
Virginia Delille De Toca, the wife of the first Louisiana Toca.
The information is from Archdiocese of New Orleans Sacramental Records,
Volume 11, 1813-1815. The entry is under the family name of Delille
instead of Toca.
DELILLE
Isavel Virginia (Nicolas and Marta
Rembert, natives of Marseilles
[dept. of Bouches-du-Rhone]), resident
of this city, widow of Joseph DE TOCA Y
BERMUDES, ca. 43 yr.,
Recently Charles engaged in a discussion about the BOZONIER side of the
family. Anna Bozonier was married to Septime Toca (New Orleans side of
the family). I found this entry in the death records. it seems that ANNA
TOCA nee BOZONIER died at the ripe old age of 82 on 10 May 1929 in New
Orleans.
Also in reference to Jose de Toca. The New Orelans census of 1805
indicates that Jose was living at 55 Rue Royal North. This is in the
middle of the present day French Quarter. I'm checking with the Vieux
Carre Com

An interesting sidelight to this is that prior to the outbreak of the
civil war, there were free men of color troops training in New Orleans
and attached to what was to become confederate military units. When
these troops applied to the general in
I also hope that someone, somewhere has more information on this. My
assumption is that this A. Toca was Joseph Alonzo Toca, cousin to Septime
and Telesphore. Their fathers would have been each others uncles. However,
it's also possible they weren't related. My reading of the "colored" troops
at Port Hudson is that they were referred to as "contraband" or freed
slaves - which wouldn't automatically exclude free men of color but does
raise the possibility that A. Toca was a slave that took the name Toca.
In an effort to keep all the Joseph Alonzo Toca's straight, I offered my
data on Joseph Alonzo Toca, the shoemaker - whom I believe to be the third
Joseph Alonzo Toca in line from the first JAT in Louisiana - in a previous
post.
I believe JAT the Printer to be the son of Antoine, son of the first JAT
Offered below is my information on JAT the printer, cousin to JAT the
shoemaker.

Glenn, I wonder if this is the daughter I have in my records as Louise Toca?
Or different person? My notes below:

I have yet to find out what became of Jose De Toca (JR). Possibly
Charles has the answer.

Glenn, your comment that Jose was born out of wedlock appears to be true.
At one point I had a multiple page record of the marriage record of Jose and
Isavel. I was told it was actually a church judicial hearing but it was in
Spanish and I couldn't read it. I've received offers to interp
