    • CORRECT PARENTS OF Jose de la Concepcion Robles?
      - Nicolas Robles was temporarily exiled to Santa Barbara during this time frame.
      - UNSUBSTANTIATED but most likely THIS Maria Luisa Dominguez was listed with parents in Santa Barbara 1834 census (5 years prior to birth of son Jose de la Concepcion Robles).
      - Although Jose de la Concepcion Robles' baptism record states he was legitimate (parents were married), it is UNSUBSTANTIATED but very likely that they were NOT married, as Nicolas left Santa Barbara when his exile was over and returned to Santa Cruz to marry Lucia Soria the next year.
