• Background Information. ²⁵²
Diego Varela de Losada, married, passed muster in 1680 with two children and five other people, including his mother and brethren. In the following year he was pictured as an Alférez thirty years old, tall and fair, beardless, with chestnut hair. In 1684 he went with the Domínguez Expedition into the Nueces country, when he was bitten by a rattlesnake but survived. In 1692 he was the Adjutant General of troops under Vargas; he also conveyed the Governor's military reports to the Viceroy.

Diego'a wife was María Ana Fresqui. The marriages of his sons, Juan with María Maese in 1709, and José with María Gallegos in 1710, show that the parents were living at Guadalupe del Paso, hence this particular family did not come back home with the Reconquest.
