MARTINEZ, GERTRUDIS


Spouse: Sotero Flores

In an entry dated November 17, 1856, an account is written that Gertrudis' husband, Sotero Flores, along with "his daughter, four Carolinians, a boy" was aboard a Carolinian banca (seagoing canoe).

In the same account, there is a report of a fairly strong typhoon. Sotero Flores and the other banca occupants "... did not put in at any of the northern islands, and it is believed they have probably drowned."
