      BIOGRAPHY
      Their fourth son, Rafael Jose Serapio, was born in 1803 at the Monterey Presidio. In 1842 he received the Mexican Land Grant Rancho San Geronimo the last year of Governor Alvarado's term. Rafael married Maria Ramona Louisa Armas at the Mission San Carlos in 1829. They moved to San Geronimo with five children and started raising cattle for hides. He built a large adobe home and settled into ranching. After the death of Rafael, Roberto who was their third child, inherited most of San Geronimo. He married Maria Guadalupe Higuera. (Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo caries this family's name). Roberto shortened the family name to Villa. Most of the Chumash Indians living on the land stayed and worked on the ranch. Until the War Between the States, the Indians on all the ranchos were slaves. Cabins were built across the creek from the main house for the ones who remained. Without Indian labor most of the Spanish Ranchos declined. Due to the draught of the late 1800's, the hide trade diminished and after the loss of laboring Indians, eventually the property was sold. Roberto moved his family to Cayucos where he engaged in the trucking business. He died in 1917.
