      7. Vicente Chavez, also listed in his father's will, can be further identified as a son of Nicolas D. y Chavez, through some family connections. As a brother of Luis and Fernando Chavez previously treated, he was married to a Gertrudis Sánchez. The had a daughter named Victoria Chavez who in 1774, as an española and twenty, the daughter of Vicente Chavez and Gertrudis Sánches, was asked for in marriage by Vicente Luna, also and Español and twenty, the son of Domingo Luna and Josefa Lucero, both deceased.

      But here a puzzle is posed by a certain matrimonial investigation of that same year of 1774. Vicente Luna had first asked to marry a María Barbara Chavez, daughter of Francisco D. y Chavez; but she was a first and second cousin, and for some reason the wedding did not take place. It was then that Vicenta Luna asked to marry that Victoria Chavez, daughter of Vicente Chavez, and here a matrimonial witness testified that the pair were not first cousins as in the previous case because her father Vicente Chavez was not really a son of Nicolás Chavez, brother of Francisco D. y Chavez! Whether this allegation was true or not, the marriage of Luna and Victoria seems to have taken place, with or without the required dispensations. As for Victoria Chavez herself, she later contract marriage during October of 1782 with Juan Francisco Pino of Los Lunas, the son of Don Mateo Jose Pino and Doña Teresa Sánchez, both deceased (and also treated previously in connections with Pedro Bautista Pino). Here they were dispensed from a large number of relationships, from straight second cousins to second and third oblique cousins by blood, and from first and third cousins by affinity.

      There was also a son, Francisco Chavez, identified as a son of Vicente Chavez and a nephew of Luis Chavez in a pre-nuptial investigation of 1838. This was when María Serafina Chavez, daughter of this younger Don Francisco Chavez, deceased, and Doña María Antonia Montoya, in 1838 married a Jose Torres, son of Don Jose María Torres and Doña Juana Baca, the pair being related twice in various degrees as descendants of both Luis and Vicente Chavez.
