ABEYTA —Promising Lead
Diego de Vectia (aka Diego de Beitia and Diego de Abeytia; ONMF: 119) described himself as español, a
native of Durango in Nueva Vizcaya, and the natural son of Diego de Ribera and Juana de Abeytia, both
Durango natives when he sought to marry Juana Torres at Santa Fe
in 1696 (a marriage which apparently never took place, as he was still single
in May 1697 when given livestock by Governor don Diego de Vargas —SANMI II:
63). He gave his age as 16, indicating he was born circa 1680, and was a
soldier of the Santa Fe Presidio at the time. Diego was recruited at
Durango by Governor Vargas as a settler in the recolonization of New Mexico. In
January 1698, at Santa Fe, he declared he had left Durango as a single man on
June 18, 1693 and was given 70 pesos (approximately $210).
A search of the International Genealogical
Index (IGI) reveals that the Abeitia family was
residing in the City of Durango as early as 1624. This family name appears in
the marriage and baptismal records of El Sagrario Metropoliano and San Juan
Bautista de Analco (churches located in Durango) as Veitia, de Veitia, Veytia, de
Veytia, Abetia, Abeytia, Abitia, Beitia, de
Beitia, Beytia and de Beytia. The variation in spelling of this surname provides
particular challenges for researching the genealogy of this family.
A review of the IGI for
The IGI provides this information on the Abeitia/Veitia family of
Martín de Abetia and Ana de Frias had two
children baptized at the Sagrario Metropolitano, Victoria de Durango:
1. María de Abetia Frias, bt. 3 June 1626.
2. Martín de Abetia Frias, that was bt. 30 April 1626.

Pedro de Veitia md. 4 February 1652, San Juan Bautista de Analco
Church, Victoria de Durango, with Beatriz Rodríguez. There
is a second entry for this couple, most likely a veiling record among the
marriage records, dated 6 November 1654, San Juan Bautista de Analco Church,
Victoria de Durango.

Martín de Veitia (possibly
the son of Martín de Abetia and Anna
de Frias), md. 29 April 1652, San Juan

Sagrario Metropolitano, Victoria de Durango:
1. Ana María de Veitia Montealegre, bt. 28 July 1653.
2. María de Veitia Montealegre, bt. 20 September 1655.

is a baptismal record for two children of this couple:
1. Antonia Margarita de Veytia Leal, bt. 4 November 1693, Sagrario Metropolitano.
2. Joseph Caietano Abeitia Leal, bt. 11 November 1695, Nombre de Dios.

Some diligent research into these church
records and other historical documents pertaining to the City of Durango in the
seventeenth century may eventually lead to revealing the lineage of Diego de Beitia, progenitor of the Abeyta family of New
Mexico.

Antonio
Durán de Armijo
(ONMF: 136-137) and his wife Barbara Montoya (a daughter of Clemente
Montoya and Josefa Luján —q.v. MONTOYA in Beyond ONMF Vol. I) had a daughter named María Gertrudis
de Armijo
as identified by Chávez. Antonio
died around 1745, and Barbara Montoya died at Taos on 12 December 1747. On 18 May 1748, all three of
her legitimate children by Antonio Durán de Armijo were identified as
follows: María Gertrudis, age 3 (b.ca. 1743), Santiago, age one and a half (b.ca.
1746), and José Antonio, b. 12 December 1747 and died five months later (circa May
1748). Miguel de Alire was appointed as the guardian of María Gertrudis in 1748. In a declaration
of August 1748, her father, Antonio Durán de Armijo, was mentioned as being
the uncle of José Antonio Durán de Armijo (ONMF: 137) who was identified as a son of Juan Durán de
Armijo
(brother of Antonio —ONMF:
137) and María Rubio. The name of Juan Durán de Armijo's wife was previously not identified in ONMF.

ARMIJO —Promising Lead
On 23 March 1686 at Zacatecas Antonio de Armijo identified himself as mestizo, age 60 ("de
hedad de sessenta años Poco mas o menos"), and a vecino
of Zacatecas, indicating he was born circa 1626. He provided this information
as a witness for the prenuptial investigation in the proposed marriage of Francisco Moreno Cortés and Ana Macías, both mestizos.
Antonio de Armijo stated he had known Moreno Cortés very well for
more than twenty-five year in Zacatecas. He knew that Moreno Cortés was first married at Somberete with María de Santiago,
mestiza, who was now deceased and buried in the parish church of
Sombrerete. Armijo did not sign his testimony as he did not know how
("no firmo por no saver").
Six days later, on 29 March 1686, Antonio de Armijo was a witness for another prenuptial invetigation and
identified himself similarly as mestizo, age 60 ("de hedad de
Sessenta años Poco mas o menos"), again indicating he was born circa
1626. In addition, he gave his occupation as "maestre de zapatero"
(master shoemaker) and said he was a vecino of Zacatecas. The
prospective bride and groom were Antonia Ortiz and Juan de Frías, Maestre de Zapatero. Armijo
declared he had known Juan de
Frías for more than thirty years in
Zacatecas, and had known Antonia
Ortiz for twenty-five years. He further
stated that Frías was a widower of Ysavel de los Reyes,
mestiza, who died in Zacatecas fourteen years ago, more or less, and was
buried in the parish church of Zacatecas.
Two years late, on 24 June 1688, Juan de Armijo was a witness for the prenuptial investigation of the
proposed union of Juan
Guerrero (español, natural de
Zacatecas, hijo natural de Anna de Contreras)
and María Pérez de
Abascal (española, hija lejitima
de Victorio Pérez de
Abascal y María Álvarez). Juan
de Armijo identified himself as mestizo,
"oficial de sapatero" (occupation of shoemaker), vecino
of Zacatecas, and age sixty, indicating he was born circa 1628.
What relationship there may have existed
between Antonio de Armijo and Juan
de Armijo is not known at this time. However,
either one of these men could have been the father of José de Armijo who married Catalina Durán (ONMF:
136). The children of this couple settled in New Mexico in 1695, and were known
to be mestizos.

BENAVIDES
Francisco
Xavier Benavides
(ONMF: 147) and Jacinta Romero had another son in addition to the one (Juan Antonio) already
identified. This second son was Francisco Benavides who was a citizen of El
Paso. On 30 August 1758, Francisco Benavides made his last will at El Paso in which he named his parents
and declared that he had been married three times and named a total of five
children. Francisco was
first married with Pascuala Ávalos, a daughter of Cristóbal Ávalos, and this couple had two
sons:
1. Santiago
Benavides.
2. Vicente
Benavides.
Francisco's
second wife was Juana Lucero with whom he had these two children:

CHÁVES
Don Fernando Durán y
Cháves II
(ONMF: 20-21, 160-161) who returned to New Mexico under Governor Vargas
identified himself as a son of don Pedro Durán y Cháves, and thus was not a son of
the first Fernando Durán y Cháves as originally documented in ONMF. The following
translation of a documented dated 28 October 1692 at Mejía in New Mexico and
part of the original documents pertaining to the Atrisco land grant provides
this valuable genealogical data: "Don Fernando de Cháves requests ….the tract is
also on the Rio Grande, commonly called Atrisco, also of agricultural land with
its acequia madre and this one in from the bluff where there is an old
house in which Juan de Perea
lived going down the riverside as far as some corrals which Colonel Juan Dominguez, my brother-in-law, had
and on said tract my father, Don Pedro Duran y Chaves, lived and also some other
persons by permission."

Gertrudis
Cháves
(ONMF: 163), wife of Francisco Silva (ONMF: 289), was not a daughter of Nicolás Durán y
Cháves as
documented in ONMF. Prior to marriage, Nicolás had a son, Juan José, by Juana Montaño. While traveling out of
New Mexico, Juana Montaño
had given birth to a boy christened Nicolás and was pregnant with her
thrid child, Getrudis,
when Nicolás
returned to New Mexico. Nicolás,
the younger, and Gertrudis,
natural children of Juana Montaño,
were said to have been fathered by "a decent man named Urbán." Nicolás Durán y
Cháves was
forced to marry Juana Montaño.

Don Manuel Delgado (ONMF: 168) was married at
the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in El Paso del Norte (located in
modern-day Juárez, Chihuahua, Mex.) on 22 March 1779 with doña María Josefa
García de Noriega.
Don Manuel was identified as Teniente del Real Presidio de San Elizario, a
native of the Real y Minas de Pachuca, and a son of don Antonio Delgado and and doña Xaviera
Chabarría,
vecinos of Pachuca. María Josefa was a legitimate daughter of don José García de

DOMÍNGUEZ
Fray Angélico
Chávez stated that the Domínguez family arrived in New Mexico around the
mid-1600s. One of the earliest documents of the New Mexico Archives is dated
December 15, 1636, Pueblo de Socorro, and is the official appointment of
Capitán "Thome Domingues" (Tomé Domínguez, the elder; ONMF: 24-25) as Captain and
Squadron leader of a group of soldiers. The document verifies that with his
appointment he received all the honors, graces, exemptions and liberties that
by reason of his official position were now his. This information places the
Domínguez family in New Mexico earlier that previously known, and indicates
that the occupation of Tomé Domínguez was that of a soldier and military leader.

matrimony at the Catderal on 15 October 1665. According to their banns of
matrimony recorded on the same day, don Antonio was a native of Mexico City and
a son of don Juan Bautista de Azqueta and doña Michaela de Arana. Doña María de

GALLEGOS
In 1656, at San
José del Paral, Nueva Vizcaya, Captain Alonso Morales García brought a suit to collect
333 pesos against Alférez Diego Gallegos, father of New Mexico settlers José and
Antonio Gallegos (ONMF: 31; BFA: 483 n45). The document mentions
"cathalina de Ribera mujer legitima del alferes diego gallegos vezo
de este Rl…" ("Catalina de Ribera legitimate wife of Alférez
Diego Gallegos, resident of this Real…"). As part of the investigation
into this suit, the "bienes" (possessions/goods) of Gallegos were
inventoried. Most of these goods were placed in the custody of Nicolás de
Rivera,
most likely a close relative of Catalina's. In his response to the suit,
Gallegos wrote the following information which identified his wife's parents:
"…como yo El alferez Diego Gallegos vessino del Rl y minas de
San Joseph del parral de la jurisdicion de la nueva viscaya digo que por cuanto
al tiempo ysason que se trato y conserto cassamiento entre mi y Cathalina de

GONZÁLEZ
LOBÓN
Juan
González Lobón
(ONMF: 39) gave his age as 52 in 1660 (AGN, Inq., t . 587: 312) and not age 40
as indicated by Chávez. This gives his estimated birth year as 1608. In
addition, he declared he was born "en la billa de San Gabriel que fue la
primera de estas dhas provincias y despues de esta de Santa Fe" ("in
the Villa of San Gabriel, the first one in these said provinces and after this
[he was] from this one of Santa Fe"). With this information, it appears
that Juan's father, Domingo González (ONMF: 38), was in New Mexico and at San Gabriel
as early as 1608, nine years earlier that previously known. Giving testimony at
Santa Fe on 14 June 1660, Juan González Lobón spoke poorly of the Franciscan friars,
complaining that they gave dispensations between related couples too easily.
Furthermore, to illustrate the incompetence of the friars and their neglect of
duty in administering the sacraments, Juan testified that his father took him and his
siblings to the plaza of the Valle de San Bartolomé to be confirmed by the
bishop. Specifically, he recalled he was confirmed in the Church of San Pedro
in the Valle de San Bartolomé.

HURTADO —Promising Lead
Andrés Hurtado (ONMF: 49)
was a native of Zacatecas, born circa 1628. There is a record of veiling found
in the Zacatecas marriage book for Pedro Hurtado and Catalina de Salazar dated 17 July 1617. The record reads: "En diez
y seis de Jullio del año de seiscientos y diez y siete aso velo El
Licdo Dio
de herra y Atriaga [Diego de Herrera y Arteaga] cura bndo. a po hurtado
y a catalina de
salazar, fueron sus padrinos Juo co--cais [illegible] y Juana maria su
mujer vso [vecino] de esta ciudad".
If it can be proven that Andrés Hurtado, native of Zacatecas and a settler of New Mexico in
the seventeenth century, was a son of Pedro Hurtado and Catalina de Salazar, this would offer an explanation for the use of the Salazar
surname by his daughters (Lucía
de Salazar, Isabel de Salazar, María
de Salazar —ONMF: 49).
Further research into land records and civil
records of Zacatecas may produce some promising results regarding the Hurtado
family.

Bartolomé

against Governor López de Mendizábal on March 8th. He declared he was married with María Martín de
Monuera
(see Martín Serrano-Monuera below), a vecino de Santa Fe, and gave his
age as 43 (more or less), indicating he was born circa 1619.
Chávez suggested
that Bartolomé de Ledesma may have been the same person as Bartolomé de
Salazar.
However, Salazar's
wife, known only as María,
was already a widow in 1662, and Chávez writes that Salazar "died prior to
1662."

Antonio José and his wife Barbara left Santa Fe to settle at
La Cañada. They had two additional children baptized at San Juan de los
Caballeros, a daughter who married in this area, and Barbara Rosalía baptized at Santa Fe:
13. María de los
Dolores López,
bt. 23 January 1791.
14. Barbara Rosalía
López, bt.
29 October 1792, Santa Fe.
15. José Pablo López, bt. 30 January 1793.
16. María del Carmen
López, md.
Pedro
Antonio Durán.
For their children see San Juan baptisms dated: 18 May 1817, 22 August 1819, and
5 February 1823.
This Antonio José
López (husband
of María
Antonio Tenorio
and Barbara
Anaya) appears
to be the same man of this name identified in a military enlistment record
dated 18 March 1776 as "Anto José Lópes, son of Anto
Lopes and Maria Lopes, of Santa Fe" and
gave his age as 39 (born circa 1737). He signed his enlistment record and was
discharged on 31 August 1804. If this is the case, then 'Maria Lopes' may be the same person as María Josefa
López,
daughter of Pedro López Gallardo.

LÓPEZ
HOLGUÍN
In the records
relating to the colonists that came to New Mexico in 1600, Juan López
Holguín
(ONMF: 81), native of Fuenteovejuna and a son of Juan López
Villasaña,
is also named as Juan López Villasaña. There is a record that names his wife as Catalina de
Villanueva
and his two daughters as María Ortiz and Anna Ortiz. Together, this family
arrived at Oñate's colony in New Mexico on Christmas Eve of 1600. María Ortiz became the wife of Simón de
Abendaño (ONMF:
1), a native of Ciudad Rodrigo, Castilla.
Curiously, the Villanueva and Ortiz surnames also appear in the Baca family that also came to New Mexico in 1600. In fact, Juan López Holguín served under the command of Cristóbal Baca (ONMF: 9), husband of Ana Ortiz (a daughter of Francisco Pacheco). Could it have been that Catalina de Villanueva and Ana Ortiz were siblings and that Catalina christened one of her daughter's Anna Ortiz as a namesake of her sister, and that it was Ana Ortiz's side of the family that brought the Villanueva surname into the Baca family? (e.g. María de Villanueva was a daughter of Cristóbal Baca and Ana Ortiz). This is only a hypothesis and requires additional research. However, the above information corrects a long-standing assumption that considered
