 A granddaughter named after her, Geronima Martin, the daughter of Jose Martin and Petrona Gonzales. Abiquiu 3 Oct 1781.

Summary:  Geronima Pacheco is likely the daughter of Felipe Pacheco and Angela Leyba.  Juan Jose Pacheco, a possible brother, married Ynes Martin. Ygnacio Pacheco, another possible brother, married Margarita Martin.   All three married into the same family, from the same locations.  

Geronima is mentioned more with the Martin family than any Pacheco siblings or other members of that family. In my own research, I have eight known children for this couple.  

Nicolas Martin was deceased by the 1750 census, meaning all their kids would have been born before then.  Some were married, others living with her. 

Geronima passed on February 14, 1781. (3)
