• Notes

  [Chavez.FTW] 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: PADILLA Jose Padilla (ONMF: 253) and his wife María López had two additional sons besides the ones identified by Chávez in ONMF: Cayetano Padilla, son of Captain Jose Padilla and María López, was baptized at Guadalupe del Paso on 16 October 1686. His padrino was Governor don Domingo Xironza Petris de Cruzate. Luis Padilla, son of Jose Padilla and María López, was baptized at Guadalupe del Paso on 3 May 1688. His padrinos were don Pedro Remeros de Posada and Ana de Tapia. Researchers: Walter V. McLaughlin and John B. Colligan Sources: Walter V.
