I lost my email send before , but the idea is as follow:
In "Familias Cubanas" books appear a Toca family in Cuba , this family is a
same that the family of Xavier Toca from Barcelona , and thanks to Xavier we
up-date the arbol.
In that case the first Toca we know D. Rafael Antonio de Toca y Echeguren
was married with Dqa. Ignacia Gomez y Hano.
They had two childrens D. Santiago Sebastian de Toca y Gomez and D. Rafael
de Toca y Gomez .
The point is that i found a new brother , D. Jeronimo de Toc
I don't have further information on Euphemie. I have some info on
Augustine. She apparently wed early. If she was born in 1843 per the 1850
census, then she was only 15 when she wed.
Marriage information from the New Orleans Genesis, vol. 1, page 47, Orleans
Parish, Louisiana, marriages appearing in New Orleans Newspapers and other
publications 1700's - 1900's. BERNOS, Louis TOCA, Augustine Nov. 6, 1858.
New Orleans Genesis also records "Jules Louis BURAS (BURAT) et Deseree
Augustin TOCA, Annee 1857"
We continue with the investigation of the Spanish Tocas and the French
Rendon Delilles:
Previously we found in the St. Louis Church records that Jose Toca was a
witness to his father-in-laws second marriage on 14 August 1802.
Unfortunately the next entry shows that Nicholas Rendon Delisle (@
Delille) died the following year on 1 December 1803. His age is listed
as 70. This would indicate that he was born around 1732 in France. What

Good point on possibility of error. Not just clerk problem, I've seen
records that were written in quill pen ink that bled through to the other
side making the record difficult to read. I found the original Louisiana
Jose Alonzo Toca listed as "S" Toca in a respected and widely referred to
publication of census indexes.
I reviewed the microfilm copy of the 1810 census referred to and was able to
determine the "S" was really a "J", written in the flowing script of the
time and mistaken for the wrong letter
Hi everyone. Thought I was pass along a little census work I did on
Philippe Toca (my direct line desendent).
It is interesting that in 1850 he had moved from New Orleans and was no
located up river in St. James Parish (near Baton Rouge) and is listed as
a teacher. The census lists two daughters, Augustine and Euphemie. I am
having trouble tracing them. If anyone knows any history on them please
forward.
Thanks,

Charles,
I don't think so, but will check. It seems that in those early days the
Clerks in the courts were notorious for spelling errors and sometimes
just putting what they wanted into the file ledgers. It is possible that
the clerk meant "Antoine." I'll check fur
Recently Charles posted to the list information about the Toca -
Leonard Duel. Below are the newspaper accounts of the duel (differs
somewhat from the Kendall account written many years later):

Glenn, it would be great if you could do more research on this. I have
always assumed that the "plantation" may have been owned by Philippe's
brother, and as you discovered, his twin, Antoine. Antoine died/was killed
in St. Bernard Parish in 1852 and the 1850 census recorded him in St.
Bernard. On the other hand, Philippe was in St. James Parish as you show in
your other post. I had assumed that Phillipe obtained the property as his
surviving brother. The only other surviving brother was Joseph Alonzo
Great research Glenn! Of course, the more you give, the more I want....
Can you provide references to sources. I assume these are the St. Louis
Cathedral, New Orleans. Archdiocese of New Orleans Sacramental Records. If
you know the volume number, etc. that would be helpful. I can reference it
in my records until I can review the originals myself. Great stuff - it's
interesting to me how short life was in the last part of the 18th and first
part of the 19th centuries - how often people had to remarry
To the Toca List;
I ran across some information which may have already been posted so
please forgive me if you have already seen this. As we already know,
when Jose De Toca @ Jose Toca came to New Orleans (Nouvelle Orleans @
Nuevo Orleans) he married a French girl by the name of Isavel (Isabelle)
Rendon Delisle (Delille). Below is the information obtained from the
Saint Louis Church records:
REDON DELISLE (@ DELILLE)
Isavel Virginia (parents: Nicholas Ronde Delille and Marta Rembert)
native of Marseilles
To: Toca List
There has been some speculation about when we can place the first Toca
in America (New Orleans). I did some searching and so far have been able
to show through records an approximate time of August 1797. So far, this
is the earliest documented evidence of a Toca in New Orleans.
On 1 August 1797, Jose De Toca is listed as a witness at the wedding of
Jose Viola and Dorotea Segovia. The St. Louis Church records indicate
further that Viola is from Santander (I wonder if Jose and Viola knew
ea
I found a reference to the TOCA PLANTATION at the University of New
Orleans Library. It seems that in 1970 a graduate student by the name of
Louise Pauline Kaitenbaugh did a study of place names in St. Bernard
Parish for her thesis and mentions the town of TOCA.
Her information indicates that TOCA was originally a plantation owned by
ARMAND TOCA. Philippe Toca is listed as owner in 1848. The reference
cited for this is ETAT DELA LOUISIANE (1848).
