The family was founded by Juan Jose Carrillo who in 1715 worked for the Jesuits at Presidio Loreto. His grandson, José Raimundo Carrillo, was born in Loreto, Baja California in 1749 and came to Alta California with the Portolà expedition in 1769. He was a member of the company that founded Presidio Santa Barbara in 1782, and served as Commandante of Presidio Santa Barbara from 1802 to 1807, and of Presidio of San Diego from 1807 to 1809. On April 23, 1781 Carrillo married Tomasa Ignacia Lugo in a ceremony performed by Junipero Serra in San Carlos. She was born in Sinaloa de Leyva, a presidio community opposite Loreto on the other side of the Gulf of California. While Raimundo Carrillo was Commander of Presidio Santa Barbara in 1806, his cousin Francisco Maria Ruiz Carrillo was acting Commander of Presidio San Diego, and would in 1809 succeed don Raimundo in that position. Francisco's brother was Jose Manuel Ruiz Carrillo, the commander of La Frontera (i.e., northern Baja California) 1797 to 1820. Thus, for a brief moment, the Carrillos controlled Santa Barbara to the Bay of San Quintin in Baja California.
