• Notes

  [Chavez.FTW] Nicolas Duran y Chavez was twenty-four and a resident of Atrisco when he had at least one natural child, already four years old in 1714, when he decided to marry its mother, Juana Montano, of Santa Fe. The wedding took place on July 20, 1714. She was the sister of two other Montano girls, Magdalena and Leonore, who had married his brothers Antonio and Luis. The men were second cousins of the women. Nicolas acquired much property south of Isleta and appears in several land litigations. He made his last will on May 19, 1768, in which he gave the names of his parents and of his wife, followed by his eight sons and five daughters: Jose, Gertrudis, Bernardo, Luis, Fernando, Isabel, Antonio, Maria Francisca, Maria Antonia, Juan, Vicente, Maria and Francisco. Of the girls, Gertrudis married Francisco Silva and Maria Antonia married Tadeo Romero and later a Domingo Baca. The sons are as follows: Jose married Luisa de Aragon, February 3, 1732; Bernardo married an apacha, Maria Benavides, and then his first cousin's widow, Maria Josefa Nunez; Luis married Eduarda Yturrieta, April 20, 1747; Fernando married Antonia Sanchez and Francisco married Maria Gertrudis Alvarez de Castillo, April 6, 1756. From "Chavez, A Distinctive American Clan in New Mexico by Fray Angelico Chavez: 1. Another Fruitful Brother In 1719 Nicolás acted as a pre -nuptial witness giving his age as twenty -six, hence born at El Paso del None around the year 1686. He was the sixth son of Don Fernando, and also residing with the family in Atrisco when he took the third one 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, Fernando, Isabel, Antonio, Maria Francisca, Maria Antonia, Juan, Vicente, Maria, and Francisco. Of the four girls, there is further record only of the first three named in the will. The eldest one, as Doña Gertrudis Duran y Chavez, and fifteen in 1729, the daughter of Don Nicolás Chavez and Doña Juana Montaño, natives of New Mexico living in Atrisco, married Francisco Silva, thirty, a New Mexico native and the son of Antonio de Silva and Gregoria Ruiz, both natives of Mexico City. This latter couple had come with the Mexico Valley colonists of 1694. The next daughter, Isabel Chavez, as we learn from the 1798 pre-nuptial investigation of a grandson, Jose Lugardo Padilla, had married a certain Padilla, and was there identified as a daughter of Nicolás Chavez, the brother of Antonio Chavez. The third one, Maria Antonia Chavez had three husbands, the first two having an interesting historical background. On March 20, 1751, this Maria Antonia married Tadeo Romero, the son of Mara Romero and Angela Teresa Vallejo. He was descended in a direct line from Bartolome Romero and Luisa Robledo, a married couple from Toledo which had arrived in 1598; Bartolome was Oñates artillery captain who made the conquest of Acoma possible in that year, and both were the parents of that Doña Ana Robledo, wife of Francisco Gómez, who in 1622 had invited Governor Sotelo and Doña Isabel de Bohórques, wife of Don Pedro de Chavez, to act as godparents for their first child, Francisco Gómez Robledo. On the other hand, Angela Teresa Vallejo had come from Mexico City in 1694 as a little orphan girl with her Vallejo father, her mother having died during the long journey; she had first married a Miguel Lucero by whom she had some children, and then Matías Romero by whom she had this Tadeo Romero. Finally, in 1768, Doña María Antonia Chavez, forty and the widow of Tadeo Romero, daughter of Don Nicolás de Chavez and Doña Juana Montaño, married a Domingo Baca, thirty, an español of San Gabriel de las Nutrias whose parents were not given. A witness was her youngest brother Francisco who lived in El Rancho de Guadalupe (Los Chavez) in the Isleta district. 1. GENEALOGY: Gertrudis D. y Chavez, Agustina Silva, Lugarda Tafoya, Pablo Baca, Tomás Baca, Nicanora Baca, Fabián Chavez, Fr. A. Chávez From the book "Rio Abajo Heritage" page 13: After the re-conquest of New Mexico by Don Diego de Vargas in 1692, the struggle was on for the acquisition of land; land, land more pasture land. In 1738 Don Nicolas Duran y Chavez, son of Don Fernando Duran y Chavez, petitioned the Crown for a Spanish Land Grant in the area now known as the Community of Los Chavez. In his petition, Don Nicolas went on to state that he was a descendant of the original Chavez family and a son of Fernando Duran y Chavez, who was a captain with Governor De Vargas during the Reconquest of New Mexico. His petition went on to state that he had a large family of nine sons and that he had sheep and cattle and no place to pasture them where he lived (Atrisco) except in the region of Isleta and that this would infringe on the pasture of Isleta Indians. "The lands I petition for" he said in his request "are vacant and unsettled lands and I caused a small front to be built in the area to protect my family and sheepherders from the wild marauding Indians". The following years, 1739, Don Nicolas Duran y Chavez was awarded the land grant known as Los Chavez Land Grant on the west side of the Rio Grande, and just opposite the Tome Land Grant. The new grant was bordered by a site called "Los Esteros de San Pablo" now known as Los Lecos to the south; the north boundary was even with the old home of Tome Dominguez; the west boundary was open domain. Hence Don Nicolas Duran de Chavez (sic) is considered to be the founder of the community known as Los Chavez. In the short span of five decades, Los Chavez was listed under six different plazas, which again were constructed in the Spanish style of rectangular forts for protection from the enemy Indians. One of the original "Plazas" was the plaza de los Gabaldones where the Gabaldon family lived. This is know known as El Dorado Estates. From the book, "The Place Names of New Mexico" by Robert Julyan: "In 1738 Don Nicolás Durán y Chávez applied to the Spanish crown for a land grant in the area now known as Los Chavez, saying in his petition that he was a descendant of the original Chávez family and a son of Fernando Durán y Chávez, who was a captain with Vargas during the reconquest in 1692. A year later his request was granted. This inhabited community still bears his familys' name.
