Sifting through the 1900 U.S. Census in search of Chamorro people and their families so far has netted me 159 people. At the time, these people resided across three U.S. Territories: Alaska, Arizona and Hawaii; and two States: Washington and California. As a refresher, Guam, at least the civilian sector, was not included in the U.S. Census until 1920.
If you have read some of my previous articles, you might have noticed that some of the surnames may have been phonetically spelled and recorded in official documents. This continues to hold true for several of the surnames of those found in the 1900 Census.
Alaska
I was quite surprised to find two people (one who had a family) living/working in Alaska. At Hunters Bay Cannery, Manuel Conception, age 33, was recorded as a Cook.
The other was John Fratis, listed as from the “Chamorro,” Tribe and Clan, and a farmer at the age of 54. He was married to Ankeelena an Aleut, age 26. Together, they had four children living with them on Saint Paul, Alaska: Simeon (6), Agrafina (8), Uliana (4), and Martha (1). According to the Census document John Fratis arrived in Alaska sometime in March 1869.
Arizona
Only one person by the name of Enas Logan, single, age 24 was listed in Maricopa, Arizona with the occupation of “Day laborer.” He immigrated to the U.S. sometime in 1888.
California
California had a total of 26 people with ties to Guam. Only two men were married, both to women of Mexican descent and no children. The five areas of California occupied were Almaden, Bodega, San Francisco, Soquel, and Ocean. Most of them were laborer of sorts, cooks long shoremen and fishermen.
Surnames found were Adriano, Castro, Ferran, Flores, Garcia, Gerrero/Gurreiro, Gumatata, Lasama, Logan, Lorindo, Martinez, Mazza, Mendiola, Oroso, Peres/Perez, Sauders, Yarrado
Hawaii
As expected, the Hawaiian Islands had the majority where I identified 120 people with ties to Guam. The four primary Hawaiian Islands occupied by these people were inclusive of:
- Oahu (Honolulu and Ewa) – 66
- Hawaii (Big Island) – 19
- Maui (Makawao, Wailuku and Lahaina) – 23
- Kauai (Koloa and Lihui) – 5
Men that had families married women primarily from Hawaiian or Portuguese descent; one man married a woman of Singapore descent while another had married a woman with origins from the Azores Islands.
Surnames were comprised of Arriola/Arreola, Castro, Cruz/Kruz, Duenas, Foster, Guerrero, Ignacio, Legama, Luhan, Pangelinan, Otis, Perez, Reys, Rose, Sanpos, Santos, and Tenora.
Washington
Only two men, both single, were found in Washington State. George August, age 66 was a farmer in Port Madison, Washington. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1860. While Domingo Blas, age 32, was a Sailor in Aberdeen Town and immigrated to the U.S. in April 1868.
