MONTAÃO, Juana DoÃa

Notes:

[Chavez.FTW]

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.

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.

1. Jose Chavez married María Luisa Aragón on February 3, 1732, and seems to have been a normal fellow plagued by certain troubles, although we know of only one interesting episode in connection with his good wife and a grandchild of theirs. In 1766 his widow brought suit against a Don Pedro Yturrieta for trying to impede the wedding of her grand-daughter María Rita Yturrieta whom she had reared since infancy. This fellow, the son of a newcomer to New Mexico and of unknown origin, had married her daughter María Chavez on May 17, 1751; subsequently, and much against his wife's will, he had gone off to Mexico City and stayed there for more than a year. Meanwhile María Chavez had give birth to their child, this María Rita, but whom he refused to acknowledge as his upon his return. Ever since then Luisa Aragón and her late husband had brought up this their grandchild, and now, after all these years, her estranged father was trying to interfere with her wedding.

All of the witnesses who were called to testify strongly spoke in Luisa's favor and she appears to have won the case. Yet, Pedro Yturrieta and his wife María Chavez must have gotten together again following his return from Mexico City and his refusal to acknowledge the first girl as his own child. Whetehr he accepted her or not after a period of time, her Aragón grandmother had insisted on keeping her as her own ward. All this one gathers from the fact that the couple had another child who, at Belen in 1776, as Petra Vitalia Yturrieta, española and the daughter of Pedro Yturrieta and María Chavez, married a Bartolome Trujillo

Bernardo Chavez was the real oddball among his brothers. He was already forty-two and still unmarried in 1762 when, as Don Bernardo Durán y Chavez, español of San Clemente, the son of capitán Don Nicolás Durán y Chavez and Doña Juana Montaño, also of San Clemente (Los Lunas), asked to marry none other than a woman named simply María de la Luz. She was an "india criada" of the Aá Nation, and old Don Fernando would have spun in his grave, were this possible for mere dust and ashes.

Now, ethnologists whom I (Fray Angelico Chávez] have consulted have been unable to identify this Aá tribe, often mentioned in the records. But this is most likely the solution. Far back in 1542, Coronado's men had found a lains Indian settlement called "Haxa" (pronounced "Asha"), and the early Franciscan chroniclers of New Spain then wrote that Fray Juan de Padilla, the first North American martyr, had been killed in that year by wild Indians called "Haciaëles" or aciales. Decades ago, the eminent Dr. F. W. Hodge identified all such old terms with a Wichita tribe called the Aiish, hence oldish Bernardo's bride could well have been a Wichita.

There is no record of any child Bernardo and his squaw might have had during their brief marriage, for she was dead by 1771 when the aging widower tried to marry again. In this very year, at Isleta, Don Bernardo Durán y Chavez, español and forty-four, and of El Puesto de Guadalupe (Los Chavez), the son of Don Nicolás Durán y Chavez, deceased, and Doña Juana Montaño, and widowed of María Luz Benavides (surname of her original master), asked to marry María Josefa Núñez, española and forty, the widow of Cristóbal Chavez and a native of Mexico City residing at El Puesto de San Andres. Here is where the oldish squawman Bernardo claimed that there was no need for a dispensation for him to marry his first cousin's widow, saying that Cristóbal Chavez was not the son of Antonio Chavez but an adulterous son of his wife Antonia Baca by an Eusebio Rael de Aguilar (that young swain of 1718 who had tried to marry Don Fernando's eldest daughter, Isabel!). Anyway, the marriage did not take place because of the outlandish charges he had brought up.

From the book: "Chávez, A Distinctive American Clan in New Mexico" by Fray Angelico Chávez:

Antonio Chavez, the next son of Nicolás. From a careful investigation of others having the same name, he was in all probability this son who listed in his father's will. At Isleta on April 13, 1750, he married Barbara Padilla, the daughter of Diego de Padilla and María Vásquez Baca. Two of their children whom we know from their own respective marriages were María Gertrudis and Santiago, and both of them are here singled out and treated at some length because of particular descendants each of them had.

From Carlos LoPopolo's Book, "The Chavez Family", page 38:
A3f5. Antonio Duran y Chavez, who was born in 1728, married Maria barbara Padilla in 1750. It seems that Antonio and Maria moved to the settlement of Los Chavez in the 1760's. This union produced at least three children. They were:
A3f5a. Pedro Gonzales Duran y Chavez married Antonia Rafaela Lobera
A3f5b. Santiago Duan y Chavez married Maria de la Luz Garcia Jurado
A3f5c. Juan Baptisita Duran y Chavez, who was born in 1767, married Maria Josefa Garcia Jurado
A3f5d. Alejandro Delfin Duran y Chavez was born in 1777

Antonio married PADILLA, MarÃabarbara 13 Apr 1750, San Augustin de la Isleta Church, Isleta, Province of New Mexico. MarÃabarbara (daughter of DE PADILLA, Diego Don and DE LARA, MarÃa VÃsquez DoÃa) was born Abt 27/27 Feb 1734/1735, Isleta, New Mexico; died Bef 3 Nov 1793. [Group Sheet]

On March 20, 1751, this María Antonia married Tadeo Romero, the son of Matías Romero and Angela Teresa Vallejo. He was descended in a direct line from Bartolome Romero and Luisa Robledo, a married couple from Toldeo which had arrived in 1598; Bartolome was Oñate's artillery captain who made the conquest of Acoma possible in that year, and both were the parents of the Doña Ana Robledo, wife of Francisco Gómez, who in 1622 had invited Governor Sotelo and Doña Isabel de Bohórques, wife of Don Pedro de Chavez, to act as godparents for their first child, Francisco Gómez Robledo. On the other hand, Angela Teresa Vallejo had come from Mexico City in 1694 as a little orphan girl with her Vallejo father, her mother having died during the long journey; she had first married a Miguel Lucero by whom she had some children, and the Matías Romero by who she had this Tadeo Romero [Genealogy: María Antonia Duran y Chavez, Manuel Romero, Jose Encarnación Chavez, Jose Francisco Chavez, Eugenio Chavez, Fabian Chavez, Fray Angelico Chavez]

Finally, in 1768 Doña María Antonia Chavez, forty and the widow of Tadeo Romero, daughter of Don Nicolas de Chavez and Doña Juana Montaño, married a Domingo Baca, thirty, an español of San Gabriel de las Nutrias whose parent were not given. A witness was her youngest brother Francisco who lived in El Rancho de Guadalupe (Los Chavez) in the Isleta District. Maria Antonia Chavez had three husbands, the first two having an interesting historical background.

Francisco Chavez, the youngest son of Nicolas Duran y Chavez, married María Gertrudis Alvarez del Castillo, born February 12, 1743, a daughter of Juan Miguel Alvarez del Castillo, mentioned previously as being of unknown origin and his first wife Barbara Baca, sister of the Capitan Baltasar Baca. Three known children of this Francisco Chavez were the following:

1) Doña Maria Barbara Duran y Chavez, española of San Clemente, the daughter of Don Francisco Duran y Chavez and Doña Gertrudis Alvarez del Castillo, who in 1775 married a Jose Francisco Pino, español and twenty-five, but of parents unknown; five years later she was dead when Pino remarried in 1780, naming a Barbara Sanchez as his natural Mother.
2) María de la Luz Chavez, sixteen, of El Rancho de Guadalupe (in Los Chavez), daughter of Don Francisco Duran y Chavez and Doña Gertrudis Alvarez del Castillo, deceased, married Felipe de Jesús Varela in 1780; an español and twenty-six, he was the son of Pedro Varela and Casilda Gonzalez, deceased.
