Ancestors

Notes

  1. ↑ The Bisonó family descends from Jean Bissonnet (d. 1817), his wife Marie Framingdano, and their child, Pierre Bissonnet (born in France in 1775). Pierre married twice, first to Marie-Joséphine Sanout and later to Marie Thami. The Bissonnet were landowners in Gonaïves, Saint-Domingue (currently Haiti) and had to flee amid a massacre against whites to San José de las Matas, in the then-French-administered Santo Domingo (currently the Dominican Republic). Pierre had 1 children with the former: María Josefa (born in Gonaïves, died 1896 in San José de las Matas); with the latter he had 4 children: Pedro Luys (1805-1853), Ana (1806-1886), Miguel (?), Pedro Antonio (1807-1882), all born in San José de las Matas; his father died in 1817, in San José de las Matas. Some children of Miguel and Pedro Luys Bisonó moved from San José de las Matas and established in what today is known as “Villa Bisonó”, and became wealthy farmers and traders, and eventually a prominent family.[2]

Los más sobresalientes pertenecían a un emigrante catalán, Don Ricaldo Canalda... y a Don Elías Bisonó, dueño además de varias fincas dedicadas a la ganadería. Sus casas eran las dos más poderosas y las que atraían mayor clientela de los campos vecinos. Pero junto a ellas se fueron formando otras más modestas, como las de Washington Lithgow... y la de Don Francisquito Bisonó. (...) La aldea nativa empieza a servir de asiento a numerosos establecimientos comerciales que la convierten poco a poco en una pequeña villa de extraordinaria actividad económica, desproporcionada con su tamaño. Entre esos establecimientos figuran el de Don Alberto Asencio, el de Don Miguel Mercado, el de Francisquito Bisonó y el de Don Juan Caridad Bisonó.”
