Nicolas Montoya and Maria Antonia Baca - Jemez

Here is another Cañon de San Diego Land Grantee.  It was just one large family group that ended up with the land grant - now tying them together is something a bit harder.  Nicolas is somehow related to Joaquin Montoya, but am still trying to figure this out.

Descendants of Nicolas Jose Montoya

First Generation

1.  Nicolas Jose Montoya, son of Antonio Lorenso Montoya and Ana Maria Chavez, was born circa 1777.  Nicolas married Maria Antonia Baca, daughter of Miguel Hermengildo Baca and Maria de Los Reyes Padilla, on Aug 2, 1800 in Jemez Mission, New Mexico.¹ 

Children from this marriage were:

            F      i.      Maria Dolores Montoya was born circa Apr 1804 in Jemez Mission, New Mexico.² 

            M    ii.      Jose Burgos Montoya³ was born circa 1808 in New Mexico.

General Notes: Baptized a child in Cochiti on June 13 1839, named him Nicolas Antonio, son of unknown. pad/ Jose de Burgos Montolla and Maria Altagracia Sanchez, from Cubero. pg. 253

He is the padrino for some Cochiti baptisms with a Gregoria Garcia whom he adopted and is his only heir.  She ends up with some of the land grant. See baptism of Jose Manuel Apolinario Montoya, pg/ 148, Cochiti Baptisms.  I think she's the same as the lady that married Francisco Baca, as the land grant documents show her as Garcia de Baca.
