The Soberanes family patriarch, José Maria Soberanes (1753-1803), accompanied the Portola expedition to the San Francisco Bay in 1769. Soberanes married Maria Josefa Castro (1759-1822) and received Rancho Buena Vista. Soberanes's sons, Feliciano Soberanes and Mariano Soberanes, received several land grants in Monterey County.
Feliciano Soberanes (1788-1868) was born in Monterey where he spent his whole life. He was regidor in 1829-1830, and then alcade at Monterey in 1838-1839. He married Maria Antonia Rodriguez (1795-1883) in 1810. Feliciano was the grantee of Rancho San Lorenzo in 1841. Soberanes became the administrator of Mission Soledad lands and received the Rancho Ex-Mission Soledad grant in 1845. Maria Josefa Soberanes, daughter of Feliciano, was granted Rancho Los Coches in 1841. Francisco Maria Soberanes (1818-1887), son of Feliciano, was granted Rancho Sanjon de Santa Rita in 1841.
Mariano de Jesus Soberanes (1794-1859) was a soldier and also held the office of alcade in Monterey. Mariano Soberanes married María Isidora Vallejo (1791-1830), sister of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Their daughter, Maria Ygnacia Soberanes, married Dr. Edward Turner Bale, grantee of Rancho Carne Humana. Mariano de Jesus Soberanes was granted Rancho San Bernardo and Rancho Los Ojitos in 1842.
In 1833, the brothers Feliciano and Mariano Soberanes went into a partnership with Hartnell.[3]
Rancho El Alisal (Bernal)edit
The Soberanes portion of Rancho El Alisal was purchased by the Bernal family. In 1855, Bruno Bernal (1799-1863), son of Jose Joaquin Bernal, grantee of Rancho Santa Teresa, moved to his Rancho El Alisal.
Hartnell (1798–1854) named his new property El Patrocinio de San Jose (the patronage of Saint Joseph). Hartnell sold Rancho El Alisal to his former pupil Juan Alvarado in 1841.
A claim was filed for two-thirds of a square league with the Public Land Commission in 1852,[8] and the grant was patented at 2,971 acres (12.0 km2) to Hartnell's wife, Maria Teresa de la Guerra, in 1882.[9][10]
