Ricardo de Cespedes y Figueredo and Antonia de la Presilla

[his parents]                                          [parents not known]

Ricardo (Ricardito) de Cespedes y Figueredo. On the back of an undated photo, found in a family album, and identified as “Blanca Rosa Figueredo de Céspedes and her son Ricardo de Céspedes” is written:  “Blanca Rosa Figueredo de Céspedes, daughter of Perucho Figueredo, and her son Ricardito de Céspedes.  Ricardo died young and left three daughters, Cristina, Blanca, and Trinidad.”

Santa Cruz in Historia de Familias Cubanas wrote: “Ricardo de Céspedes y Céspedes married Antonia de la Presilla, and they had daughters: Cristina, Blanca, and María de la Trinidad de Céspedes y de la Presilla.”  We think we have shown that Ricardo de Céspedes y Céspedes married Blanca Rosa Figueredo, and that it was the son of Ricardo and Blanca Rosa, also called Ricardo, or Ricardito, who married Antonia de la Presilla and had Cristina, Blanca, and María de la Trinidad de Céspedes y de la Presilla.
