Antonio Juan Bautista Vallejo, sometimes referred to as "Juan Antonio," was one of the many prominent children of Ignacio Vicente Ferrer Vallejo and Maria Antonia Isabela Lugo Vallejo and was born at the old Mission San Carlos Borromeo, aka, Carmel Mission. Antonio was baptized at the Royal Presidio Cathedral de San Carlos on June 24, 1816.

Antonio was killed during an accident on his rancho while riding his horse. He had been engaged to be married, reportedly to an American. His body was soon after removed to the home of his sister in Monterey, and he was apparently buried in that city. Historian H.H. Bancroft noted in his history of California that Antonio had been the most popular of his siblings, and his rancho southeast of Watsonville was a popular resting place on the roads leading to San Juan Bautista and Monterey (see published account of William T. Sherman). Attached to the Vallejo's extensive Rancho San Cayetano, and overlooking the Pajaro River for many generations, was the stately "Casa Materna" or "Glass House". The first home of the Vallejo family built in Alta California, it was a prominent local landmark situated in Monterey Country on the Pajaro's east bluff.
