Further Details about some of the Del Pozo Siblings

Juan Jose Del Pozo Santos – Juan Jose was a lawyer and had a big house in a nice location in Guayaquil. Dr. Martinez’s children from his first marriage maintained contact with him; his sister was their stepmother.   Maria Antonieta Marcillo knew him when she was a little girl and they would go to his house every year for a certain national festival.  He was Married to Maria Teresa Serrano Borrero who had been born in Cuenca. He had two children: “Maria Ester and Adolfo Del Pozo Serrano”. 1 So it seems likely that there should be descendants of Juan Jose in Ecuador today.

Maria Ester Del Pozo Santos  –  Affectionately known as “ñaña Te”, Maria Esther remained single all her life and was a teacher. She is known to have taught in Riobamba and her grand-nieces – the descendants of her sister Carmelina – have strong memories of her with vivid stories. Also, when Ines’ son Charlie was interviewed in 2013 at 94 years of age, he mentioned in the video that he remembered “naña Te” from his time in Riobamba Ecuador in the 1920’s nearly a century ago.2

Manuela Del Pozo Santos   According to present-day Yavar Nunez relatives Manuela died in Lima. One of these Del Pozo daughters is known to have simply walked out the house one day and not returned.  Her father notified the authorities and an investigation was launched.  It was discovered that she had boarded a ship for Lima and was never seen or heard from again.  Manuela could have been the one – it is uncertain at this time.


The three siblings above are ones about whom we have rather minimal information.  For some of the other siblings there is so much information that a separate page or pages is devoted to them.

  1. These two children of Juan Jose are mentioned in the Genealogical Document “Los Santos de Charapoto” and Graciela Yavar Nunez mentioned them also.
  2. Note that this Spanish word “naña” is a term of endearment peculiar to Guayaquilenos (the people of Guayaquil, Ecuador) …it is not used outside of Guayaquil. The meaning is something like “sister” in English but it is used to communicate a special level of endearment to this particular sister.
