Talk:Chief Solano

Mexican-American
What the heck does "Mexican-American" mean in this article? I suggest it be replaced with just plain Mexican. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.58.15 (talk) 04:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

The Land Grant
From History of Solano web site, (secondary source) the following statement naming his grant as "Suisun Rancho" (awarded in 1837 then sold 1842), should be checked into, a reliable source found. Goldenrowley 03:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

" The Suisun Rancho grant to Francisco Solano was made provisionally in 1837, legally confirmed in 1842 and only given a further sanction at Vallejo’s request in 1845 to help secure his title. He had bought it from Solano in 1842."

I am here dumping this here, which I deleted from the article because it's uncited, has a lot of claims, and is written in a weird tone that does not align with an encyclopedic model. Missvain (talk) 14:41, 3 May 2023 (UTC)


 * The Mission San Francisco de Solano of Sonoma records that a "Francisco Solano" was one of the first natives baptized in the mission 1823/24. Some say that was Sem-Yeto. By all accounts, Sem-Yeto moved to the mission in its founding years with his people and was present at the time, however, if he was already baptized at the San Francisco Mission, theoretically he would not need to be baptized again. So the first baptism at the mission in Sonoma might be another neophyte named after the same Catholic saint. Genealogists may look into if the Chief was baptized twice. There is an entry in the ledger, but is it him? Possibly, Sem-Yeto went through baptism at Sonoma as a sign to all his people to come be baptized and join him.
