      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 return to 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 Montao.

      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 María Josefa Silveria Sánchez.

      In 1719 Nicolas acted as a pre-nuptial witness giving his age astwenty-six, hence born at El Paso del Norte around the year 1686. He wasthe sixth son of Don Fernando, and also residing with the family inAtrisco when he took the third on of the Montaño sisters to wife. Hername was Juana Montaño. This took place on July 20, 1714, when theyalready had at least one boy who was four years old. It had taken herthat much more time to get her Chavez man. It could also have been aturbulent union for a time, since once, after he gave her a beating, shetried walking all the way to her own folks in Santa Fe before nicolascaught up with her at Bernalillo. Yet they managed to produce a verylarge family of which we have a complete list, thanks to the extant willwhich he drew up on May 19, 1768. In it he stated the names of hisparents, his wife, and the following eight sons and four daughtersaccording to their ages: Jose, Gertrudis, Bernardo, Luis, Fernanado,Isabel, Antonio, María Antonia, Juan, Vicente, María and Francisco.
