  • Notes 


    • [Chavez.FTW]

      According to Fray Angelico Chavez in his book "Origins of New Mexico Families". Pedro Duran y Chavez married Juana Montoya on January 27, 1703. His was one of the supposed "twelve" founding families of Albuquerque in 1706. [New Mexico Historical Review, Volume 4, No. 3, page 274]. In 1713 he was a squadron leader of the militia and conducted ex-Governor Felix Martinez back to Mexico City; but he resigned in 1716 because of illness; yet he is numbered among those who took part in the Moqui campaign of this year. [Spanish Archives, I, No. 1117; Nos. 198, 250, 297; Bancroft, New Mexico Originals, 1716-Manuscripts collected by H. H. Bancroft, and now in the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley. They are described in "New Mexico Historical Review", Vol. XXV, No. 3, pp. 248-252 - Also "Libros de Entradas y Recepciones", etc., three manuscript volumes in "Mexican MSS" section, Nos. 216, 217, 218.]

      In March, 1735, his estate was probated due to the fact that he was dying, having been out of his senses for some time. But he rallied enough to draw up his will, and died on December 7, 1735. After Bernardo's death he had come into possession of his father's will, but due to his illness it had passed into the hands of the next brother, Antonio, who was absent from "the Kingdom" at this time. [Spanish Archives, I, No. 177].

      Pedro had ten children by Juana Montoya, name in the will as follows: Manuela, wife of Sebastian Marcelino; Monica, wife of Antonio Baca; Josefa, married to Francisco Sanchez; Efigenia, wife of Jacinto Sanchez; Francisco Xavier; Quiteria; Juana; and three minors who had been placed with their uncle, Francisco Duran y Chavez, when Pedro married a second time. These minors were; Diego Antonio, twelve; Maria Luisa, ten, and Eusebio, eight. [Spanish Archives, I, No. 177].

      Pedro's second wife was Gertrudis Sanchez by whom he had five children, one of them dead, but none are mentioned by name in the will. This marriage took place on January 12, 1728. [AASF M-3, Albq]. The four living children are found elsewhere as follows: Salvador Manuel, born on June 9, 1731; Jose, born on June 1, 1733, [AASF, both in B-2, Albuq.], who married twice, lived in Bernalillo, had many children [Spanish Archives, I, No. 250], and was the Jose Chavez of New Mexico killed by Apaches near El Paso, December 9, 1772 [Buried, Guadalupe del Paso ]; a daughter, not named, who was married to Antonio Gutierrez, [Spanish Archives, loc.cit.]; and a Pedro II, referred to years later as a son of old Pedro, [AASF, DM 1766, in Albuq, no. number; evidently the man who became Pedro Otero], who was therefore the fourth living child of this marriage.

      Of the unmarried daughters by the first wife mentioned in Pedro's will, Quiteria finally married a Bernardo Padilla after some trouble; [Spanish Archives, I, No. 196]; Maria Luisa (Lucia) reared by her Uncle Francisco, could very well be the woman who married Miguel Montoya as Francisco's daughter; Juana seems to be the one who married Domingo Baca.

      Of the sons by the first wife, Francisco Xavier, the eldest son among many girls, was considered a wastrel by his sisters; [Spanish Archives, I, No. 196]; Diego Antonio, the next son but very much younger, among the minors of his father's will, married his third cousin, Juana Silva, December 14, 1740 [AASF, M-11, Isleta]. If his elder brother was the wastrel that his sisters accused him of being, it explains how Diego Antonio could have inherited the original Chavez document and signet-ring later inherited by Colonel Manuel Antonio Chavez of Civil War fame. Eusebio, the youngest son, married Vibiana Martin Serrano on August 19, 1752 [AASF, M-3, Albuq.]; he vainly tried to get grants and honors on the merits of his ancestors for himself and sons, Blas and Juan Miguel, in 1774, and is said to have voyaged to Spain for the purpose [Spanish Archives, II, Nos. 675, 686; Twitchell's note, Ibid., pp. 254-5-For more details on this family, see "El Palacio, Vol. 60, No. 4, pp. 154-160.].[Thomas Robert Chavez Ancestors.FTW]
