GURULÉ
Antonio
Gurulé
(ONMF: 193), the son of Santiago Gurulé (Jacques Grolet) and Elena Gallegos, dictated his last will
and testament on April 18, 1761, in Albuquerque. The contents of this will have
been preserved as part of the Private Land Claims records regarding the Elena
Gallegos Land Grant (SANM: 38, frs. 758-60, and 825-27). A descendent of Antonio Gurulé who possessed a copy of
the will allowed for the U.S. Court to transcribe and translate the will around
the 1850s-1860s. The will provides valuable information about the children of Antonio Gurulé that clears up a
long-standing point of confusion found in Fray Angélico Chávez's section on the
Gurulé family in Origins of
New Mexico Families.
When Antonio Gurulé dictated his will he was
sick in bed, having his full mind and memory. He began by professing his belief
in the mystery of the Holy Trinity and all that which was taught and believed
by the Roman Catholic Church. He next appointed the executors of his estate, Tadeo García, his son-in-law, and his
legitimate wife, Antonia Quintana. He asked that his body be buried in the habit of
San Francisco in the "most humble spot in the church of Albuquerque, near
the font of Holy Water." He next declared he had been married for 40 years
(since circa 1721) with Antonia Quintana and together they had nine legitimate
children whom he named as: Tomás, Manuela, Luisa, Fabiana, Juan Antonio, Serafín, Elena, Francisca, Manuelita; eight of in the state of
marriage at the time the will was made.
Antonio
Gurulé
mentioned that he received no dowry from his marriage with Antonia Quintana and that he had inherited
what he owned from his parents. He declared as his property a tract of land
called Jesús María with farmland, acequia, and a six-room house. He further
mentioned that his son Tomás
had already inherited lands from him, and he bequeathed to his other children 3
varas of agricultural land each. In gratitude of the long service given to his
mother and himself, Gurulé
released two Indian servants of his mother's from all obligations of future
service. He named these servants as Rosa and Elena, and bequeathed to them a house and a small
tract of land for planting once almud of corn.
Gurulé claimed these items as his
personal property: one riding saddle, one pistol, one bridle, spurs, one
shield, one sword, one cloak, one saddle cushion, two mares, one horse, and two
yoke of oxen with their yokes. He bequeathed the pistol, shield and sword to
his son Serafín,
and the rest of his personal items to his wife along with a cart and three
horses. Antonio Gurulé signed his name to the will as "Anto
Gurule."
The information
contained in this will confirms that Antonio Gurulé had only one wife, Antonia Quintana, with whom he had been
married since around 1721. Fray Angélico Chávez indicated that there was a man
named Antonio Grolé who was married with Teresa Gallegos by 1730, and wondered if
this may have been Antonio's first wife (ONMF: 193). Instead, it may very well
be that the Antonio Grolé
who was married with Teresa Gallegos was a Genízaro, an acculturated Indian, who lived in the
Albuquerque-Isleta area. The 1750 census of Albuquerque has a listing among the
enumerated Genízaro population for Antonio Grolé, a widower with three
grandchildren named Antonio,
Clara and Antonia. In addition, Antonio Gurulé and his wife Antonia Quintana were also enumerated in
the 1750 census of Albuquerque with the following children: Juan Antonio, age 17; Fabiana, age 16, Seraphino, age 11, Elena, age 9; and Francisca, age 7. Their daughter María Luisa
Gurulé was
listed with her husband, Tadeo García,
and their other daughter Manuela Gurulé was listed with her husband Baltasar Griego.

PEREA
In March 1707, Francisco García
Perea
(ONMF: 257 and 383-84), a soldier of the Santa Fe Presidio, submitted his
petition to marry María Romero, resident of the Villa de Albuquerque and a daughter of Bartolomé Romero, deceased, and Luisa Varela. The diligencia record for
this couple is dated March 27, 1707, Albuquerque. García Perea is the surname used by Francisco. The priest and witnesses
referred to him as Francisco García, Francisco Perea, and Francisco de Perea. He gave his age as 28 (b.ca. 1679) and was a native of el Río
Abajo, but did not name his parents. He and María Romero were married on May 5,
1707.
Francisco's surname of García Perea suggests that he may have
been a son of Esteban de Perea and Francisca García (ONMF: 87). However, it
has also been suggested by Kessell, Hendricks and Dodge that he was a son of Juana de los
Reyes [Perea],
a widow who was enumerated in the May 1697 cattle distribution census with
these children: Teresa,
Francisco and Antonio de Perea. Juana de los
Reyes was
listed immediately after Francisca Garcia, presumably the widow of Esteban de Perea. The children in Francisca García's household were Felipa, Isabel, and Teresa.
This information
could be an indication that Francisco García Perea was a grandson of Esteban de Perea and Francisca García and this is supported by
additional information found in the 1692-3 census of families from
It appears that
the boy Francisco,
age 12, may have been the same Francisco listed in the family of Juana de los
Reyes Perea
and who was married with María Romero.
In 1728, Juana de los Reyes Perea was still living when she conveyed land in

Eugenio was
married with Gregoria Gallegos, and according to a document from the Spanish
Archives of New Mexico concerning a land dispute, José Eugenio
Perea and Gregoria
Gallegos were
the parents of Mariano Antonio Perea (SANM #697).
Mariano
Antonio Perea
became the husband of María Loreta de la Luz González. In 1806, Mariano, age 52, was enumerated
with his second wife, Margarita de Sena, and had these individuals in his household: María Lugarda, age 13, Manuel, age 4, Juana Gurulé, age 25, Juan José, age 10, Vicente, age 12. Listed
immediately after Mariano Perea was Baltasar Perea, age 26, with his wife, María Petra Cháves, age 24, and their five
children: Pedro
Antonio, age 7; José María, age 5, María Manuela, age 3, and Margarita, age 1.

Andrés
Trujillo,
37, widowed of Juliana Peña, was the legitimate son of the late Pedro Trujillo and Josefa Gómez del
Castillo
and a citizen of the Pojoaque jurisdiction. María Guadalupe Valdéz, 26, was the widow of Juan Sánchez and legitimate daughter of
Bernardo
Valdéz and
María
Manuela Suazo,
citizen of the jurisdiction of Santa Cruz. They were related in the fourth
degree of affinity on the basis of copula licita. María Guadalupe was a poor widow with four
small children and living on the meager means her late husband left her. Andrés would be able to provide
for her. The couple asked that the proceedings be forwarded to Father Castro, María
Guadalupe’s
priest. Andrés stated
that he had had carnal relations with her before he knew they were related.
Having learned about the relationship 6 months earlier, they had abstained from
further sexual relations. They had not had sex to facilitate a dispensation.
Witnesses for Andrés were Paulín Espinosa, age 62 who explained that
María
Guadalupe’s
children was an 8 year old boy and the other three younger girls, and Cristóbal
Archuleta.

The

conflicting information about the Pérez Velarde, Valverde y Cosio and
the Velarde Cosio families of 18th century
The
material presented below consists of a synthesis of information found in
various places on the "Beyond ONMF" web site, the HGRC Great New
Mexico Database, the on-line LDS Family Search engine, material from a book of
extractions of records for the church Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe by Aaron
Magdaleno (AM), and information from the Archivos de Indias in Sevilla, Spain.
There are enough facts to distinguish the families, although there could be
anterior connections between them.

November 29, 1693, Francisca de la Vega, a native of Mexico City and a daughter of Cristóbal de la
Vega and Marina de Coca recorded banns of
matrimony at the Sagrario of the catedral de México with Guillermo de

Could Cristóbal de la Vega and Marina de Valdés be the same couple as Cristóbal de la Vega and Marina de Coca? An affirmative answer to this question is difficult to ascertain. Additional research needs to be conducted. However, it is curious to note that there was a family of the Santa Vera Cruz parish with the combined surnames of Coca and Valdés. A marriage took place in the Church of Santa Vera Cruz, Mexico City, on June 7, 1650, between Juan Morcillo de Coca Telles, a native of the Pueblo de Santa Paula and a son of Juan Morcillo de Valdés and do
