Luis del Carmen de Echevarria(Chavarria) Murillo was born in Zafra, Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain in approximately 1781 to Ysidoro Chavarria and Teresa Delgado Murillo.Prior to 1808, he lived in the Ciudad de Puerto Rico now known as San Juan, Puerto Rico.In Caguas, PR, in December of 1808 he married Petrona Diaz de Avila Maldonado of Caguas.In 1812, he was elected to establish Gurabo which he founded in 1815.Luis del Carmen died in Gurabo on 30 November 1852.I am interested in learning more about Luis del Carmen's life and what drew him to Puerto Rico.
There are 10 children of Luis del Carmen and Petrona that I know of currently.My goal is to catalog all their descendants.Many of the descendants are already in my files.I descend from Policarpo Echevarria Diaz.
