was a known daughter of Ignacio Baca and doña Juana de Anaya Almazán. Her cousin Manuel Baca, married with María de

known son of Cristóbal Baca and doña Ana Moreno de Lara.
Additional
information confirms that the famous Juana Baca (ONMF: 144) was actually a
daughter of Cristóbal Baca and doña Ana Moreno de Lara and not a daughter of Manual Baca and María de
Salazar as
previously presumed. This Juana Baca was also the progenitor of the Luna family of

Juana
Baca,
"the younger," was married with Francisco Durán y Cháves (ONMF: 162). She was known
as a daughter of Juana Baca "the elder" (ONMF: 144 & 162).
Miguel
de San Juan de Luna
finds mention in ONMF: 283 as the husband of Isabel Montoya and the father of Margarita de
Luna. From
the above information it is clear that Juaquín de Luna was a son of Miguel de San
Juan de Luna,
and thus not a son of Antonio de Luna (ONMF: 214).
A valuable work to
consult regarding this branch of the Luna family is The Other Luna Family
by Margaret Buxton.
