From "The Adobe Kingdom" by Donald L. Lucero:
When Pedro Lucero de Gody arrived in Santa Fe that January 0f 1617, he was but sixteen or seventeen years of age, yet counted as a man for some of this period, such as Cristóbal Baca and the other settlers, Pedro Lucero de Godoy, "El Mozo", was given two lots, two contiguous fields, and 133 acres of land, guaranteed to each of the early settlers of Sant Fe to ensure development of the villa.
Soon after his arrival, Pedro Lucero de Godoy was to meet and marry Petronila de Zamore, mentioned earlier, who had come to New Mexico as an infant with her parents, Bartolome de Montoya and MarÃa de Zamora, in the caravan of 1600. Although she later claimed to have married Pedro when but eleven years of age, she was, like Pedro, probably about sixteen. Keeping track of one's age was not a priority at this period of history. Like the Cristóbal Bacas, the Luceros de Godoy settled down to live on the plain. Pedro and his cousin of the same name continued to acept responsibility for the escort of the wagon trains of 1621 and 1631.
Pedro Petronila were to have at least two children, Catalina and Juan, each of whom was to lead a tumultuous life on the frontier. Petronila died at a very young age early in their marriage. A third child, also name Pedro Lucero de Godoy, may have been Pedro's son by Petronila or by his second wife, Francisca Gómez Robledo.
Francisca was the sister of Francisco Gómez Robledo. They were the children of the Portuguese adventurer, Francisco Gómez, who had recruited the Pedro Luceros de Godoy for the caravan of 1616. One could say their father was responsible for the marriage of Francisca and Pedro for he was responsible for the lad's presence in New Mexico. He appears to have been responsible for much more as well. The Gómezes were also closely associated with the Bacas. The sponsors at the baptism of Francisco Gómez Robledo were Governor Felipe Sotelo Osorio and doña Isabel de Bohórquez, wife of don Pedro Durán y Chavez I and sister of Antonio and Alonso Baca.
Gómez was apparently quite taken with the younger Pedro Lucero de Godoy. He may have recommended him to Governor Ceballos, Eulate or another governor as one who could be counted upon as a man-of-arms, willing and able to protect the colony at his own expense, for, sometime between 1616 and 1662, Pedro Lucero de Godoy became an encomender. That the family of Gómez-Robledo was involved in his appointment is interred from the site of Pedro's encomienda. Pedro Lucero de Godoy, who was to rise to the positions of maese de campo and Lieutenant governor of the kingdom, was give twent-four houses of the pueblo of Pecos, the remainder being held by his brother-in-law, Francisco Gómez Robledo. Although it is nowhere stated, it may also be inferred that the Pecos encomienda was originally held by the elder Francisco Gómez and inherited by his son. Whatever the manner of possession, the Gómez-Robledos and Luceros de Godoy were families bonded both by military service and marriage.
