Victor Eugene Agustin Janssens (1817–1894), born in Belgium, came to California from Mexico with the Híjar-Padrés Colony expedition in 1834. In 1842, he married Maria Antonia Pico, the daughter of Jose Vicente Pico (1797-1863), major domo at Mission San Buenaventura and one of the grantees of Rancho El Rio de Santa Clara o la Colonia. Janssens was granted the three square league Rancho Lomas de la Purificacion in 1844, where he lived with his family until 1856, when he moved to Santa Barbara.[4]
