Life History

Notes

• "Yes mom's maiden name was Benavides. Her mom was Feliciana.  She must of married because I knew her name as Feliciana Camacho.  Yes, my grandfather on mom's side was Manuel Benavides.  I'm requesting my original birth certificate from Seattle, but because I was adopted it might take awhile.  My adoptive mother was also a relative 'Angela Benavides' my mother's sister."

  In 1959 Phillip and Feliciana show up for the first time in a Kansas City city directory.  Jesse Camacho, their son, was listed in 1955 and 1957 with his wife Eva Porras.  On their marriage license in 1955, Phillip is mentioned because he had to give permission, since Jesse was under 21 years old.  But only Eva was listed in 1958, and then for the first time in this 1959 directory several Camacho households were listed.
  
  Eva Camacho does not appear, but there are two entries for Jesse Camacho, one simply Jesse, with no wife, and Jesse G Camacho, wihose wife is named Angie.  Burial listings for Camachos informs us that Jesse G Camacho was born in 1910, while Phillip and Feliciana's sone was born in 1935.  The odler Jesse is probably Phillip's brother.  The one with no wife, then , is liekly to be their son.

  Raymond in the 1959 and 1960 directories is a new name not found in records for this family up top now.  This is likely a grandchild of Phillip and Feliciana, who now has his own household.  Similarly, Mrs Mary L Camacho in the 1960 directory is unindentified.  Burial information gives Ramond (Ramon)'s birth year as 1887.
