Pacheco Post #10 Cayetano Pacheco, et al

 While living in Bosque, New Mexico, Cayetano appears to have most of his children living within the area.  There is not enough information to link some of these families - yet using locality, ages, names we can make it fit.  DNA is what we need.

Pacheco Post # 8 Antonio Pacheco 1725 buys land in Santa Cruz

Antonio Bernal from Santa Cruz, sold land to Antonio Pacheco, from Santa Fe.  Bernal had received the lands from his mother-in-law, Maria Reyes Jiron. Sold for the price of $30 pesos. 

The boundaries are north, a large arroyo to the south and lands of Isabel Linares, east are the lands of Diego Antonio Romero and to the west more of the Linares lands. 

Dated 16 October 1725. 

It is unclear which of the many Antonio Pacheco's this could be in the document.

Pacheco Post #4 Ygnacio Pacheco and Margarita Martin

In the Santa Cruz Baptisms, published by NMGS, there is an entry that shows a Gonzales and a Margarita Martin as his grandmother on page 247.  

Secondly, in the 1790 Santa Cruz census, pg. 93 - six households down from Margarita Martin is a Phelipe Santiago Gonzalez, the possible co-godparent. 

Studying all the possible Gonzales/Pacheco baptisms and marriages for the Santa Cruz area, one family of Miguel Gonzalez and Maria Candelaria Pacheco, [1] have a son Phelipe Santiago. [2]  

Maria Candelaria Pacheco would then be the daughter of Ygnacio Pacheco and Margarita Martin. [3]

The marriage for Miguel Gonzalez and Maria Candelaria Pacheco does not name the parents.  This one tiny baptismal clue, along with the census, help to further identify this lineage.

Pacheco Post #2 Rosa Martin & Pacheco Children 1750

 In the 1750 Soledad, New Mexico Census, Rosa Martin is enumerated as:

Rosa Martin- widow; Marcos Pacheco; Joseph; Francisca; Diego; Calletano; Margarita; servants:  Juana, Getrudis, Francisco, Juana, Salvador.[1]

  • Yes, she is a widow as her husband, Felipe Pacheco, died in 1739. 
  • Marcos Pacheco may or may not exist.  There is a Marcos Pacheco from Rio Arriba who married a Getrudis Valdez in 1769.  We have found no baptism for him. The marriage record does not identify parents.  Another Marcos Pacheco in Santa Fe has a wife who died in October 1748; perhaps that is why he is living with his mother.  Or it could be a different Marcos. 
  • Joseph is too vague to identify him. 
  • Francisca Pacheco married Jose Antonio Martin.
  • Diego Pacheco was born December 1730 and have not found a wife that I can link him to. 
  • Calletano Pacheco married Lucia Mestas and then Maria Ygnacia Sandoval in 1790.  
  • Margarita Pacheco is yet unidentified whether she married. 

I have twelve children for Rosa Martin and Felipe Pacheco.  Except for this 1750 census, I have found no wills or land transactions that further tie the Pacheco's with additional children. 

Rosa Martin dies in 1786 and neither her burial nor Felipe's state how many children they lived when they die.

Pedro Martin Serrano and Piedra Lumbre Grant

Reading through the Catron Papers which have some genealogy, one of the people being questioned is Jose Maria Chavez.  He states he lives in Abiquiu, he was born in Santa Clara and he knows the children of the Land Grantee Pedro Martin Serrano.  He stated that Pedro married Maria Manuela Sisernos.  He also states that Pedro was a brother to Mariano Martin Serrano.

Jose Maria Chavez goes on to say that the children are:  
  1. Juan Manuel, who had a daughter Rafaela and she married a Quintana.
  2. Santiago and he went to California.
  3. Juan Cristobal Martin.
  4. Maria Viviana Martin. Her children are Jose Maria Baca and Manuel Baca. 
A second testimony is given by Juan Madril, he basically states the same except that Juan Manuel Martin's daughter, Rafaela had two children Nicanor Quintana and Josefa Quintana (Dionisio Ortega). 

He further states that Santiago did go to California in '43 and his children are named, Juan, Ruperta, Leonor, and Demetrio.

Juan Jose Lobato Grant ~ 1740

On August 24, 1740, Juan Jose Lobato of Ojo Caliente and a vecino of Santa Cruz asks for some land.  The land itself had previously been granted to Diego Torres which causes some problems, but Lobato appears to overcome that small issue.

Jose Isabel Martinez testifies that he is 71 or 72 yeards old, a son of Ygnacio Martinez and grandson of Jose Pedro Martin Serrano.  He brings the wills of his father and mother to this testimony, which they make a copy of.  

Reference:  Spanish Archives of New Mexico, Series, I, Reel 48, Frame 65.

There is a deed transfer from Cristobal Torres, his wife, Angela Leyba and a son Diego Torres to Juan Lujan, which includes a house lot, corral and a garden tract, written in 1726. [168]

Bartolome Trujillo (Margarita Torres) states that lands were given to him by his father-in-law, Cristobal Torres, and that Jose Trujillo (Antonia Lujan) is his father, written in 1731.[175-176]

At Abiquiu on April 16, 1750, they have a copy of the lands owned by the Valdez family.  Miguel Martin, Juan Jose de la Cerda, Geronimo Martin, Ignacio Baldes, Juan Baldes for his mother Rosalia Baldes, and Manuel de las Rosas plus thirteen half-breeds make the resettlement at the plaza where the chapel is situated. [207]

They then name an Ygnacio Baldes, the older, a Ygnacio Baldes, the younger as an attorney for his mother Rosa Baldes.  Does this mean Rosa had a son named Ygnacio or is this her brother/nephew? [214]

The will of Petrona Gonzales who was married and veiled to Jose Ygnacio Martinez stated she was widow, they had eleven children:  Antonio Jose, Jose Manuel, Jose Ramon, Jose Tomas, Jose Ignacio, Maria Josefa, Maria Guadalupe, Maria Encarnacion, Maria de la Luz, Maria Josefa the second, and Maria Clara. [272]  This couple is in the 1790 Abiquiu census as:  Lt. Jose Martin, S, 52; Petrona Gonzales, 46; three sons, 22, 12, 19; five daughters, 17, 10, 8, 6, 5.
