Domitilla Apolonia (Aguilar) Kincaid

Domitilla Aguilar had six children. The youngest child was an infant when Domitilla, died suddenly in Los Angeles, of Galloping Tuberculosis. On their mother's death, no other family or the father was present, so her children were taken to an orphanage. The tiny (youngest) child with no apparent family was adopted out almost immediately. The remaining 5 children were, shortly there after, collected by their hispanic grandparents, Gavino and Antonia Aguilar, a ranching family, from East San Diego County and a tiny place called Descanso, CA. They arrived by wagon (a two day trip) and collect the remaining children, and the body of their daughter, and returned home. Their daughter, Donitilla, was buried in the family cemetery as Domitilla Kincaid. Her husband, E.O. Kincaid (Elam Orson) was living and farming in San Joaquin County at the time. The remaining 5 children were immediately baptized Catholic together (there is a photo) and raised together by their Aguilar grandparents. It is not known if the youngest infant adopted out ever learned of, or visited her remarkable latino roots. The Aguilars were Spanish Pioneers to California with ties to Mission San Juan Capistrano and significant California History in East San Diego County, even preceding Statehood.
