Father of ten children. Married November 18, 1818 at Mission San Carlos in Monterey, CA., Maria Tomasa Antonia Garcia. Both of his parents were dead when he married Tomasa Garcia in 1818, at Monterey, CA.
Francisco Marcelino Escobar owned the land from the Carmel River and Point Lobos all the way to Little Sur, California, a distance of 20 miles. He raised cattle on his vast property, as well as a large family of ten children. Escobar was a Cabo, a Corporal in the Spanish Army, and he was Alcalde of Monterey five times in the early 19th century. His father was Francisco Escobar, who was the great-great grandson of Alonzo Florencio Escobar who was chamberlain to explorer Hernando Cortez. Marcelino's mother was Luiza Jordan, a member of the Bottilier of French noble bloodlines. Thus her son Marcelino was descended from both Spanish and French nobility.
