Jose de Padilla had been living in "New Mexico" for more than twelve years when the Pueblos rebelled in 1680. He passed muster then as a captain, with his wife, five children, and six servants, and signed on declaration as "Jose de Padilla Villaseñor". [Revolt, I, pp. 139, 177].

In 1681 he declared himself to be thirty-four years old, a native of Queretaro, and married in New Mexico. He was briefly described as having a robust medium stature [Revolt, II, pp. 46, 132]. Some years before, he had gone on a campaign as a substitute for Pedro de Chavez II; he said that he had twelve years' experience as Alcalde Mayor "on the frontier". [Revolt, II, pp. 166, 327]. This means, very likely, that he had not always lived in New Mexico proper, but in the frontier district of Guadalupe del Paso.

In 1683 he left the exile colony with the Sargento Mayor Fernando de Chavez, without permission, to lay a petition of certain colonists before the Viceroy. His wife, María López, is mention in this connection. [Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico-photo copies, bound and designated according to general title, etc., in the Coronado Library of the University of New Mexico].

Again, in 1689, he journeyed to Mexico City to escort some friars; he took this occasion to demand back-pay, declaring that he was a resident of Guadalupe del Paso, where his wife and children were, and that he had already served in New Mexico for twenty years. [AGN-Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico: 1. Inquisicion; 2 Tierras: Civil; 3. Provincias Internas; 4. Historia. Photo copies in the Coronado Library of the University of New Mexico.] Padilla's actual place of residence at this time was Senecú del Paso. [AASF DM, 1699, No. 9].

Not having been a member of the northern New Mexico colony, he did not join the Vargas troops and colonists for the Reconquest, but remained in the Guadalupe del Paso area. However, some of his sons did come up to New Mexico shortly after, perhaps also taking part in the Reconquest.

Jose de Padilla and his wife, María López, not being refugees from the Kingdom of New Mexico, remained at Guadalupe del Paso instead of coming up with the Vargas reconquest. He was still living there, at Senscu, in 1699. From the marriages of their children, we learn that his wife was dead by 1711, while Jose himself died less than two years later. (DM, 1711, No. 4: DM 1713, No. 1] His known sons were Jose, Diego, and most likely, Juan Antonio.

From "Beyond Origins of New Mexico Families" by Jose Antonio Esquibel:

Don Nicolas Duran y Chavez was the sixth son of Don Fernando, and also residing with the family in Atrisco when he took the third on 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, Fernanado, Isabel, Antonio, María Antonia, Juan, Vicente, María and Francisco. [Chavez, A Distinctive American Clan in New Mexico by Fray Angelico Chavez]

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 returnedto 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 Montaño.

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 Mara Josefa Silveria Sánchez.
