Don Nicolas Duran y Chavez was the sixth son of Don Fernando, and also residing with the family in Atrisco when he took the third on of the Montaño sisters to wife. Her name was Juana Montaño. This took place on July 20, 1714, when they already had at least one boy who was four years old. It had taken her that much more time to get her Chavez man. It could also have been a turbulent union for a time, since once, after he gave her a beating, she tried walking all the way to her own folks in Santa Fe before Nicolás caught up with her at Bernalillo. Yet they managed to produce a very large family of which we have a complete list, thanks to the extant will which he drew up on May 19, 1768. In it he stated the names of his parents, his wife, and the following eight sons and four daughters according to their ages: Jose, Gertrudis, Bernardo, Luis, Fernanado, Isabel, Antonio, María Antonia, Juan, Vicente, María and Francisco. [Chavez, A Distinctive American Clan in New Mexico by Fray Angelico Chavez]

From "Beyond Origins of New Mexico Families, Volume 2: Gertrudis Chavez (ONMF: 163) wife of Francisco Silva (ONMF: 289) was not a daughter of Nicolás Durán y Chavez as documented in Origins of New Mexico Families by Fray Angelico Chavez. Prior to marriage, Nicolás had a son, Juan Jose by Juana Montaño. While (he) was traveling out of New Mexico, Juana Montaño had given birth to a boy christened Nicolás and was pregnant with her third child, Gertrudis, when Nicolás returnedto New Mexico. Nicolás, the younger, and Gertrudis, natural children of Juana Montaño, were said to have been fathered by "a decent man named Urbán". Nicolás Durán y Chavez was forced to marry Juana Montaño.

This information comes from the testimony of Antonio Chavez, half-brother of Gertrudis Chavez, given during the pre-marital investigation of Jose Manuel Silva and Mara Josefa Silveria Sánchez.

Juan Antonio de Soto-Mayor Montano, or names reversed, had come to New Mexico as a convict shortly before the Indian Rebellion, although he is not listed with the 1677 group under Lazaro de Mizquia. He married after his arrival. In 1680 he passed muster as a convict with a complete set of weapons, his wife, a female servant, but no children. [Revolt, I, p. 157].

The next year he gave his age as thirty, when he was described as being of medium height, lisping in speech, and with a fair and pimply skin. [Revolt, I, pp 77, 99]. He was a native of Mexico City. [AASF, DM 1694, Nos. 19, 25, 29].

Juan Antonio Montano Soto-Mayor and his wife, Isabel Jorge de Vera, returned with Vargas in 1693 and settled in Santa Fe; after he husband's death, Isabel moved to the Rio Abajo.

Twice he is referred to as a native of Mexico City, he appeared as a witness in three nuptial investigations of 1694. But he was dead by 1696 when reference was made to his widow, Isabel Jorge de Vera, as a grand-daughter of Captain Antonio Baca of pre-revolt times. She died on November 25, 1736.

Three known sons were Jose, Juan and Lucas. Three of their daughters, Leonor, Magdalena and Juana, married three Duran y Chavez brothers, Luis, Antonio and Nicolas, respectively. A fourth, Polonia, became the wife of Salvador de Santisteban. Several of the children were born at Guadalupe del Paso during the twelve-year exile. These were Jose, Lucas, another Jose, Polonia, Leonor, Magdalena and Juana. The last three became the wives of three sons of Don Fernando Duran y Chavez.

Juan married DE VERA, Isabel Jorge Aft 1677. Isabel died 25 Nov 1736. [Group Sheet]
