Descendants of Family of Josef Silvestre and Beronica Ysabel

Francisco Cabahug's Marriage Record

Josef Silvestre, one of the earliest known Cabahug ancestors was identified in the records of San Fernando Rey Catholic Church at Liloan, Cebu. The names of Silvestre and his wife, Beronica Ysabel, were first found in the 1845 marriage record of his son, Francisco Cabahug^4a. As with Jacinto Andres, the other early family member, Silvestre's name is typical of Filipino names prior to the introduction of surnames in 1850. Additional evidence showing Josef Silvestre was a Cabahug ancestor is found in the death records of Francisco Cabahug^4a, and Juan Cabahug^4a. Each of these records lists the parents of the deceased as Silvestre and Veronica Maria.

Judging from entries for his children in the Liloan Church records, Josef Silvestre was born in the late 1700's, probably between 1780 and 1790. Early in 1800, he married Beronica Maria and they had at least three children. The marriage record of Francisco Cabahug, states that both Silvestre and Beronica were Mestizos and born in Liloan Until 1845, present day Liloan was part of the historical town of Mandaue.

Death Record of Beronica Pepito - 1858

Josef Silvestre's death is not found in the Liloan church records, indicating that he died before 1845. However, Beronica Maria died in Liloan on August 29, 1858^4a. Her death record reads, "Beronica Pepito, widow of Silvestre Cabajug"^4a. This shows that Bernoica belonged to the Pepito family, a well known family in Liloan. The reference to her husband as Silvestre Cabajug, most likely reflects the family name given his children and other family members. Note also that the spelling of Beronica's given name reflects the local pronunciation of "Veronica".

The known children of Josef Selvestre and Beronica Maria are:

i.	Juan Cabahug	Juan died in January 1898^4a. He married Petrona Anoos.
ii.	Blas Cabahug	Blas married Mauricia Pilapil.
iii.	Francisco Cabahug	Francisco died in May 1899^4a. He married Clara Pilapil.
