We know about Maria, her parent's names, her age, her husband, his parents, etc. from her marriage record in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello. Her profession is given as a fabbricante or manufacturer - the same as her mothers.
Maria, is only 17 when she married. This is one of the youngest ages for marriage that we have seen. Perhaps, because she was employed, she could add to her dowry.

  Notes for STEFANO BOTTA:
We know of Stefano from his marriage record from the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello. This family marries into the Colloraffi family of Sant' Agata again when my g-grandmother, Giuseppa Zingales Botta marries Domenico Colloraffi, the son of Biagio and Maria Teresa.

19. MARIANNA ANTONINA (CULLURAFFI)9 COLLORAFFI (MICHELO8, BIAGIO7, PADRE6, ANTONINO5, DOMENICO4 CULLURAFI, PLACIDO3, DON2, COLOROFE1) was born 1811 in Sant' Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died 1874 in Sant' Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

Notes for MARIANNA ANTONINA (CULLURAFFI) COLLORAFFI:
On MariaAnna's marriage record, it states that she is 15 years old. Her father, Michelo has died. On Marianna's death record, her name is spelled the way that the surname was spelled in early Librizzi records, except with the extra f. 2 f's are the way that our family spells the name in Sant' Agata di Militello. Her name is thus spelled, Marianna Culluraffi. The Colloraffi family again marries into the Piscitello family in the next generation. Domenico & Giuseppa Zingales Botta's daughter marries a Piscitello and remains in Sant' Agata di Militello, as the rest of the family moves to the Bronx, New York.

Notes for ANGELO PISCITELLO:
On the death certificate of his son, Antonino, July 5, 1828; Angelo is listed as a shoemaker. It also states that he was born in Caronia. This is an area that there is some relationship with the Colloraffi Family of Sant' Agata Di Militello. On the birth record of his daughter, Maria Antonia in 1839, his age is given as 37 years old and his profession is a cobbler.

This Piscitello family again marries into the Colloraffi family, with Domenico (son of Biagio, son of Gaeteno, son of Biagio) and Giuseppa Zingales Botta Colloraffis daughter, Concetta marries Salvatore Piscitello in S.A....Their family information is in their file.

It is very likely that this Antonino Piscitello of Sant' Agata Di Militello is the ancestor of Salvatore Piscitello, who married Concetta Colloraffi in Sant' Agata Di Militello. She is the daughter of Domenico Colloraffi, son of Biagio, son of Gaetano Colloraffi

Notes for ROSARIO COLLORAFI:
On Rosario's death certificate, his profession is given as a merchant. Antonino Collorafi is a wittness, 38 years old. I believe that he is the son. The names of Rosario's parents and their places of birth are also given. On his son, Nunzio's death certificate, it states that Rosario was born in Polermo. My GUESS is that he was born in the area of Librizzi/San Piero Patt. On his son, Francesco's death certificate, it states that he was born in Patti. He is dead by 1884 and so is his wife, as stated on Francesco's death certificate.

  Notes for GIUSEPPE NOTOE:
I am not sure of the spelling of this last name. It is very difficult to read on Rosa's death certificate. It may be Noto.

Notes for VINCENZIA COLLORAFI:
We learn about Vincenzia through her death record in Librizzi. It gives her parents names, her age at death. Her mother's name is given as Carmela Celona, not Colora...This may be her name, as the handwriting on this document is better than on the other documents. It states that she is a farm hand and so are her parents. The word contadino can also mean peasant.

Notes for (MAYBE) MUSIONE:
The Musione name is on the death record of Vincenza with Pietro and Basilio mentioned as wittnesses. This may be her husband's name and her sons. Pietro is listed as working in a factory and Basilio as a farmer.
