Blanca Casiano Gregory - A line of her Filipino descendants

Our Great-Great-Great Grandmother was

BLANCA CASIANO GREGORY
(American)

also spelled as Blanca Gregory Y Casiano

ONE OF HER SONS WERE

Capt. Gen. Ramon Gregory Y Casiano
(Cpt./Gen. Ramon C. Gregory)

The five children of Cpt./Gen. Ramon Gregory with Nicolasa Bello were:

Francisco Bello Ycasiano
Andres Bello Ycasiano

Dr. Santiago Bello Ycasiano (Our Great Grandfather)
A member, and doctor of the Filipino revolutionaries "Katipunan"
Co-signor 1899 Malolos Constitution
He studied with Dr. Jose Rizal in Madrid, Spain
His personal memorabilia, letters, pictures, documents and a sword 
was burned down with the house in Pasay City during the second world war
He was also the first director of the Coron Leper Colony hospital in Palawan, an island-province
south-west of the Philippine archipelago

Trinidad Bello Ycasiano - Governor of Bulacan 1912-1916
Alipio Bello Ycasiano

The seven children of Cpt/Gen. Ramon Gregory Y Casiano with Apolonia Roxas were:
Francisco Roxas Ycasiano (pensionado at Cornell University)
Pedro Roxas Ycasiano
Aurelia Roxas Ycasiano
Jacinto Roxas Ycasiano
Mariano Roxas Ycasiano
Felisa Roxas Ycasiano
Amalia Roxas Ycasiano

Being half-brothers, the two Francisco(s) felt about the fact that they both shared the same name.
The names Francisco and Ramon seems to be used more often down the family tree. 
Historically, Francisco "Paquito" Roxas Ycasiano (grandson of Blanca Gregory y Casiano) and Francisco "Mang Kiko" Bayan Ycasiano (great grandson of Blanca Gregory y Casiano) are the more famous Francisco(s) of the clan.
