Civil War: Company C, 1st Battalion, Native California Cavalry
José de los Dolores García y Ayala was born at Santa Bárbara, Alta California, México, where he was baptized April 20, 1822 (BP Baptisms 00615). He was the son of José María García y Ortega (SD Baptism 01586) and María Antonia Leandra Ayala y Féliz (BP Baptism 00219). José Dolores Garcia was mentioned at Santa Bárbara in connection with the Cañon Perdido 1848 insentient. He became a U.S. citizen with the transfer of California's sovereignty in 1848. He married María Josefa Ayala y Valencia (BP Baptism 01015-before 1870?) at Santa Bárbara November 30, 1854. María was the sister of José María Ayala and Dolores Ayala, who would become the widow of Ramón Durazo and Juan Valenzuela. José enlisted at Santa Bárbara July 25, 1864, and was mustered into Company C, 1st Battalion, Native California Cavalry, later that same day. He was described as 43 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a dark complexion, grey eyes, and black hair. He indicated he was born at Santa Bárbara and that he was a ranchero. Private García was posted to Fort Mason, Arizona Territory, from September 1865 until January 1866. He returned with his regiment to the Presidio of San Francisco, where he was mustered out April 2, 1866. After the war he returned to his family at Santa Barbara. The 1870 U.S. census indicates that "Dolores García" was living in Township 2, Santa Barbara County, with his daughter Dina, 11, but his wife does not appear (was she deceased?). The Santa Barbara County Great Register of Voters indicates that José Dolores García, a resident at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, registered to vote August 2, 1875. He was then 53 years old and a laborer. In 1880 his daughter Dina, then 17, appeared as a resident of the household of his brother Miguel García on Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara (1880 US Census). Was his health such that he could no longer care for his daughter? The date of death appearing on this memorial is from the Santa Barbara Mission burial record for "José García, buried July 26, 1887" (Santa Barbara Burial 744).
