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 #3 Juan Jose Pacheco Land Grant

The Land Grant known as  Juan Jose Pacheco (PLC 18), given to Jose Pacheco and Salvador Pacheco in early Santa Fe, was contested by Matias Dominguez, whose wife is an heir. 

Based on the testimony of Dominguez, his wife, Juana Rivera, was the daughter of Manuel Rivera y Pacheco.  Using the Santa Fe Baptism books published by NMGS, a Juana Guadalupe was born to Manuel Rivera and Concepcion Marioni in 1842. [1]

This baptism included the grandparents as Viterbo Rivera and Luz Pacheco (she's the descendant). [2]

Luz Pacheco is the daughter of Felipe Pacheco and Manuela Roybal. [3]

Felipe Pacheco is the son of Felipe Pacheco and Rosa Martin.[4] 

Felipe Pacheco is the son of Jose Pacheco and Antonia Arratia.

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.

Nestor Armijo in the Wagon Tracks Journal

 Written by Susna Calafate Boyle in the May 2020 Wagon Tracks.  

A superb article on the life and times of Nestor Armijo.  His association with the Santa Fe Trail, his family and acquaintances.  Born in Los Padillas in 1831, he would attend school in St. Louis. His trading took him to California, driving sheep to the gold mines; where he made quite a bit of profit. 

Nestor Armijo married Josefa Yrisarri - a beauty as shown in her photograph.  They associated with other Santa Fe Trail freighters and traders - names like Perea, Otero and Chavez come to mind.  In 1868 they were living in Chihuahua City, Mexico, where they remained for a time. 

The couple would later move to Las Cruces, where he owned a store and often sold items to the US Army.  They transferred many goods from coast to coast, and often he was leading the wagons.  Calafate Boyle writes about Nestor Armijo as a second generation Santa Fe Trail merchant.  Meaning his father, Cristobal Armijo (Juana M. Chavez) was already doing business on the SFT when Nestor was a young man. 

The one outstanding takeaway for me is that he had his son educated in Pennsylvania and then Germany.  His grandchildren would attend schools in California and Denver.  He was a product of education beyond the borders of New Mexico as many in his extended family, and so would his own child and grandchildren.  He was a vigorous supporter of an educated mind. 

Nestor Armijo passed away in 1911.  His wife Josefa having died in 1905.
