The couple had their own rancho in the Pinole Valley area, raising a large family of eleven children. The family prospered and was well-known in the Pinole region. Cipriano, nicknamed “Cap,” could read and write fluently and was often asked to translate or write letters and documents. In the 1870s, the family moved to the growing downtown section of Pinole. Once there, daughter Theresa married a local, John Curran. Their daughter, Tessie, was raised close to home across San Pablo Avenue on Quinan Street. Tessie would later marry Superior Court Judge Charles Baldwin. Tessie was a granddaughter of Cipriano and Maria Silvas. She was a dental hygienist for the Richmond schools and lived most of her adult life in Richmond. She inherited her grandparents’ home and lived there the last year of her life. Tessie loved being a native of Pinole and a living part of its history. She willed the Pinole Historical Society a generous gift upon her death to help the society preserve Pinole’s history.
