Rancho Bolsa de Chamisal (Pedro Cordero)
|
The 14,355 acre Rancho Bolsa de Chamisal was granted to Francisco Quijada in 1837. The land was described as an enclosed space of chaparral, a dense brush land just south of present-day Oceano. Pedro Cordero had married Maria Dolores Claudia Quijada in 1808, and therefore owned a share by marriage. On September 4, 1846 Pedro Cordero sold his share of Rancho Bolsa de Chamisal to Luis Burton. Manuela, Nasario, and Francisco Quijada also sold their interests at various times to Burton. By 1868 Francis Z. Branch owned the rancho. The rancho is listed in the Carpenters Index on the San Luis Obispo County Genealogical Society website.
