• Notes

  [Chavez.FTW] Don Fernando Duran y Chavez, the "eldest son of his father," and named presumably after his grandfather, Hernan Sanchez Rico, inherited Don Pedro's encomienda and lost it later during a political fracas, during the term of Governor Pacheco. He is first mentioned in contemporary documents of 1638 when, as Lieutenant Governor of the Sandia or Rio Abajo jurisdiction he testified that he had accompanied Governor Rosas in an expedition to the Apotlapihuas. [Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico loc. cit., t. 385, ff. 8-9]. Testifying many years later, in 1660, he gave his age as forty-three, [Archivo General de la Nacional, Mexico, t. 666, f. 533]. so that, if born in 1617, he was the son of Isabel de Bohórques; nevertheless, he was older than his brother Pedro II. In 1644, on August 17, he had testified, that he was born in New Mexico and was thirty-five years old. His brother Pedro was thirty-three. [Archivo General de Indias, Sevilla, Patronato, leg. 244, Ramo 7, pp. 86, 92, 102.] Don Fernando was embroiled in two major political crises, the first around the year 1640, and the second around 1660. The first was the Governor Rosas affair when he testified against him in favor of the friars, being a captain at the time. [Archivo General de la Nacional, Mexico, Inquisicion: t. 385, ff. 8-9; t. 425, f. 641.] He got into Governor Pacheco's good graces by attending the execution of eight conspirators in Santa Fe on July 21, 1643, and was appointed an Alcalde by him. However, when Pacheco turned against the friars, he took the friars' part. ["Church and State in New Mexico, 1610-1650" by France V. Scholes, Santa Fe, 1937]. Pacheco then condemned him and thirteen others to be executed for sedition. It seems that he escaped execution by fleeing from New Mexico, thus losing his encomienda. [Twitchell Collection, No. 280, ; " Revolt of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Otermin's Attempted Reconquest, 1680-1682, volume II", by Charles Wilson Hackett pp. 148, 166, Albuquerque, 1942.] For in 1646, he and his son, Don Agustín de Chavez were in the soldier escort that brought a new governor, Don Luis de Guzman, from Mexico City to Santa Fe. [Archivo General de Indias, Sevilla; Contad., leg. 740, Data.] The next major issue, in 1660 and after, and for the same reasons, took place under the tenures of Governors López Mendizabal and Penalosa. At this time he was a Sargento Mayor. [Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico; loc. cit., t. 507, pp. 45-46, 85-86, 126, 744.] The crowning incident took place in August, 1663, when Governor Penalosa violated the right of sanctuary by removing Fernando's brother Pedro from the Mission at Santo Domingo Pueblo, and subsequently imprisoned him in the Palace of the Governors with Fernando and the latter's son, Cristobal. [Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico; loc. cit., t. 507, pt. 2, f. 361v.] He died some years after, for in April, 1669, he is referred to as recently deceased. [Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico; loc. cit., t. 666, f. 533.] He might have died in an Indian expedition that he led in 1668. ["Historical Documents relating to New Mexico, Nueva Viscaya, and Approaches thereto, to 1773" Volume III, by Bandelier-Hackett, page 279.] His land holdings, as can be inferred from those of his heirs, were those inherited from his father in the Sandia Jurisdiction, from the boundaries of San Felipe Pueblo down through Bernalillo to Atrisco. His wife was a Carvajal, a sister of Agustín de Carvajal. Their known children were Agustín, Cristobal, and Fernando II.
