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. Mariano Cordero and Juana Pinto were married on 7 January 1777 and remained in San Francisco until at least 1784 (SFD-M:00001). Five generations later, the families were reunited in the marriage of Frances Valencia (g-g-granddaughter of Francisca Xaviera Xilaíte) and William Cordero (g-g-grandson of Mariano Cordero).
