Notes

[Chavez.FTW]

1. Jose Chavez married MarÃa Luisa AragÃ³n on February 3, 1732, and seems to have been a normal fellow plagued by certain troubles, although we know of only one interesting episode in connection with his good wife and a grandchild of theirs. In 1766 his widow brought suit against a Don Pedro Yturrieta for trying to impede the wedding of her grand-daughter MarÃa Rita Yturrieta whom she had reared since infancy. This fellow, the son of a newcomer to New Mexico and of unknown origin, had married her daughter MarÃa Chavez on May 17, 1751; subsequently, and much against his wife's will, he had gone off to Mexico City and stayed there for more than a year. Meanwhile MarÃa Chavez had give birth to their child, this MarÃa Rita, but whom he refused to acknowledge as his upon his return. Ever since then Luisa AragÃ³n and her late husband had brought up this their grandchild, and now, after all these years, her estranged father was trying to interfere with her wedding.

All of the witnesses who were called to testify strongly spoke in Luisa's favor and she appears to have won the case. Yet, Pedro Yturrieta and his wife MarÃa Chavez must have gotten together again following his return from Mexico City and his refusal to acknowledge the first girl as his own child. Whetehr he accepted her or not after a period of time, her AragÃ³n grandmother had insisted on keeping her as her own ward. All this one gathers from the fact that the couple had another child who, at Belen in 1776, as Petra Vitalia Yturrieta, espaÃ±ola and the daughter of Pedro Yturrieta and MarÃa Chavez, married a Bartolome Trujillo
