He was married three times, first to Manuela Pelliza, daughter of Francisco Pelliza and María Fernández, belonging to a distinguished family of creole roots. This marriage, whose registry has the signature of Feliciano Pueyrredón, was carried out on August 17, 1826, in the Parroquia de Santos Lugares.[42]
He was the father of Francisco María Canavery Pelliza (1827-1861),[43] a lieutenant who took part in the Revolution of 11 September 1852, and in the defense of Buenos Aires during the siege of Hilario Lagos.[44]
