After the death of Rafael Robles during the small pox outbreak of 1838, Leandra married Eugenio Antonio Soto on 20 May 1839 at Santa Cruz (SFZ-M:00835). Leandra and Eugenio had six children, of whom at least two daughters are known to have had children.

Leandra’s sixth child, Maria de la Asencion Soto, had one child with Marcus Chaboya. Arcadia “Carrie” Chaboya was born 12 January 1877 in Pleasanton and later moved to San Luis Obispo in 1886. Carrie had eleven children, and, at the time of her death in 1950, she had thirty-five grandchildren and twenty-six great grand-children. Carrie’s eldest daughter, Frances Valencia, was born on 19 October 1892 at San Luis Obispo (SLO-B:01668). Frances Valencia married William Salvador Cordero on 2 May 1914 at Santa Barbara; they had five children. Interestingly, the founders of the Cordero family in Alta California, Mariano Cordero and Juana Francisca Pinto, were the first couple ever married at Mission Dolores and would have been acquainted with Frances Valencia’s Aramai ancestors.
