Origins

The Tineo family in Santiago de los Caballeros begins with two militiamen, Francisco and Juan Tineo. It is unknown how these two were related, but they both served in the same troop around the same time in the northwest of the country. On February 1, 1717, Francisco Tineo sold 2 cattle in Santiago. Following this, he became a captain in the militia and was involved in a border skirmish near Dajabón resulting in his murder. Batista, a black slave of the widow Lepage, and two others Andres, mulato libre, and Thomas, black slave of the widow Charpantier, had killed a cow in Spanish territory and were discovered by the young captain. Batista killed Francisco Tineo on November 28, 1733 and the three individuals were charged with murder in Santiago. Juan Tineo was described in 1721 by the testimony of his captain Isidro Miniel, that he was 23, a solder in the northern Troop, literate, and incarcerated alongside Isidro Miniel for his crimes against the crown. Juan Tineo managed to escape incarceration and it appears he married and left descendants in Santiago.

Juan Tineo married Simona Grullón and populated Santiago. During the middle of the 18th century, this couple had five children: Domingo, Francisca, Rosa, Francisco, and Juan Tineo Grullón. Francisca Tineo Grullón married Diego Gil having Elena and Gertrudis Gil Tineo. Elena was the mother of General Fernando Valerio Gil. Rosa Tineo Grullón married José Tavares having eight children. The Tineo name continued through Juan and Francisco Tineo Grullón. The family frequently married with Fernández, Núñez, and Tavares families.

Before 1863

The lack of records before the burning of Santiago de los Caballeros makes it difficult to determine much of the history of the city and province. Only certain branches of the family have information to go on, but it is possible to gleam some information when available.

There are two Tineo families that can be determined from the available records. One is the Tineo family of Spanish origins which was mentioned before and the second is a Tineo family from Los Ranchos de Babosico. It is my personal theory that this family may have been slaves of the white Tineo. In Los Ranchos de Babosico there is noticeable racial divide with some members of the Babosico Tineo under the impression that the surname was Haitian. Genetic testing has indicated that the Tineo family from Babosico is paternally of west African origin.

Sebastián, a slave of María Tineo was registered December 30, 1776 in Santiago de los Caballeros. Sebastián was about 28 years old, of the Bambara ethnicity which is native to Mali in West Africa, and had tribal markings. María Tineo was a farmer from Guazumal, Santiago.

Another branch of the family went to Los Montones in San José de las Matas, José Tineo who married Rosa Rodríguez and had Blasina, María Merced, and Regina Tineo Rodríguez. This family is likely of Juan Tineo and Simona Grullón's lineage from 3rd degree consanguinity indicated in Regina Tineo Rodríguez's marriage to Luis Tavares Caba in 1845 (Luis was the son of Tomás Tavares Tineo and grandson of Rosa Tineo Grullón). The surname did not persist in this branch as there were no sons.

After 1863

Las Charcas, La Cruz de Cupeyal, Angostura, Boca de Bao, and López are all areas in the countryside of Santiago where the Tineo and related families persisted as farmers for many decades after the Dominican Restoration War. The branches of Francisco Tineo Grullón and Juan Tineo Grullón did not have many documented descendants who passed on the name, but the Tineo persisted for many centuries in spite of this. Of Francisco Tineo Grullón's branch, only his son Gabriel Tineo Jiménez had a son, Patricio Tineo de Peña, who in turn only had one son, Manuel Tineo Acevedo, who then again only had one son, Vicente Tineo Núñez. From Juan Tineo Grullón's branch there is Vicente Tineo Tavares who's descendants populated the areas mentioned before but only had two sons, Manuel Ramón and Rufino Tineo Rodríguez. Manuel Ramón again only produced one son who lived to adulthood and continued the name, Rufino Tineo Batista (born 1873) who populated Las Charcas. Rufino Tineo Rodríguez did have children with María de la Cruz Tavarez García, but these two did not marry, thus their children possessed the Tavarez surname.

The father of Manuel de Jesús Tavarez was not recorded in this document, but his name was Rufino Tineo Rodríguez, the brother of Justina "Justa" Tineo Rodríguez, the mother of Ana Aurora Batista Tineo. The shared grandparents which connected the couple were Vicente Tineo Tavares and María Rodríguez Rodríguez.

Death of Antonio Tineo Reyes, son of Santiago Tineo and Petronila Reyes in 1885.

Tineo of Babosico

The ancestors of the Tineo from Los Ranchos de Babosico are Santiago Tineo and Petronila Reyes. They had various children who intermingled with the Diloné, López, Reyes, Rodríguez, and Taveras families from the area.

Through Y-DNA testing, a direct descendant of Santiago Tineo is a descendant of the E-BY61182 haplogroup. This is a west African lineage implying that this Tineo family is a descendant of slaves of the Tineo family or somewhere down the line this Tineo family had an hijo natural or NPE occur.

Jacoba Tineo and the Olavarrieta

Jacoba Tineo Tapía was born about 1815 the natural daughter of Vicente Tineo Tavares and Manuela Tapía in Santiago de los Caballeros. She had a relationship with the Spanish priest Domingo Antonio Solano Rojas (1770-1862) where they had José Antonio Olavarrieta Tineo about 1831 in Santiago. In 1856, José Antonio married Gabriela Josefa Tavares Portes, the daughter of Manuel de Jesús Tavares Reyes and María Altagracia Portes y Morel de Santa Cruz. Their marriage received a dispensation on the grounds of consanguinity and the document was written and testimony listened to by Padre Domingo Antonio Solano. In this testimony, José Antonio declared he was the son of "un tal Juan Olavarrieta, natural de Europa," a certain Juan Olavarrieta, native of Europe. According to oral history, the surname Olavarrieta was invented by Padre Solano. Solano would die May 20, 1862 in Santiago de los Caballeros.

Jacoba also had at least another two sons, Daniel and Domingo Antonio Tineo. It is unknown in Padre Solano was also the father of these children, but as one was named after him I suggest it was probably the case. In 1873, Daniel married Amelia de Jesús Ureña Gutiérrez in Santiago. Some time afterwards, Jacoba and her two sons made their way to Santa Cruz de Mao, west of Santiago. Domingo Antonio Tineo married María Clementina Reyes Cabral there in 1884. This couple would establish a branch of the Tineo family in Mao, but there are also as of yet unconnected Tineo branches specifically from Gurabo that may or not may not be from Jacoba Tineo's descendants. Jacoba died in Santa Cruz de Mao September 25, 1894 at the age of 79.

Cuban Branch

During the Era de Francia and Haitian Revolution, various families from the Spanish side of the island of Hispaniola migrated to other Spanish colonies in the Caribbean. The Tineo were part of this migration with a few members of the family settling in Cuba.

On February 15, 1804, Josefa Tineo y Ponce, remarried after being the widow of granadero del regimiento de Cantabria Manuel Yrizo and living in Cuba, requested that she be given their pension that she had in Santo Domingo.

A notable group of migrants are indicated to have arrived to Baracoa, Cuba before leaving to either return to the island of Hispaniola or other places. Félix Tineo and Rosa García are one couple who arrived in Baracoa August 25, 1805 and departed January 15, 1810. Joining them on their arrival were doña Francisca Tineo and an Antonio Tineo. Independently earlier that year, a different Francisca Tineo arrived in Baracoa.

José Tineo García (c. 1801-1897), the son of Félix Tineo and Rosa García Reyes was born in Baracoa, Cuba. His father Félix Tineo (born c. 1763) may be an individual that appears in many dispensations related to the Tineo family as an informant/witness. José Tineo García returned to Santiago and married María Ramona Jiminián Hernández on September 26, 1859. She was the daughter of José Jiminián and María Eugenia Hernández. María Ramona's brother, José Aniceto Jiminián Hernández, was born in Las Charcas around 1833 and later resided in Los Ranchos de Babosico marrying Juana Tineo López, the daughter of José María Tineo Reyes and María Ramona López. José Tineo and María Ramona Jiminián had four children: Matilde (c.1844-1904), Ana Joaquina Tineo Jiminián (c. 1844-1890), Juana Antonia Tineo Jiminián (born c. 1848), and Amadeo Tineo Jiminián (c. 1856-1907) before José died on March 21, 1897 in Las Charcas.

José Tineo García also had a brother who was born in Santiago de los Caballeros, Casimirio Tineo García (c. 1813-1873). Casimirio married Tomasina de Peña and had some children. His son Silvano Tineo Peña (c. 1839-1907) had children with María Antonia García Pacheco who were later recognized with the Tineo surname.
