Here's some information about Juan Jose Baca, possible son of Juan Dionosio Baca and Maria Rita Pino. His parents were among the founders of the Socorro Land Grant.
Juan Jose Baca was not born in Socorro, as Socorro was not resettled until 1815. However, he probably arrived there as a teenager or young man.

Ramona ", 11, female, Indian, Nabajoe.
Jose Fabian Gutierrez, 15, male, born in New Mexico.
Filomeno ", 12, male, born in New Mexico.
General:
There is a 10 year difference between Maria Romana Baca and her next youngest
sibling and a 12 year difference between Jose Dinicio Baca and the same sibling
that it appears that it may be possible that neither Romana and Dinicio were
actually the children of Juan Jose Baca and Maria Antonia Jaramillo. It is
possible that the children are adopted OR are actually their grandchildren.
Jose Teodoro Baca is named as the son of "unknown". He is baptized by
Juan Jose Baca and Maria Antonia Jaramillo. Therefore, he is listed here are
adopted by this couple.
Crecencia Baca is listed as being 13 years old in the 1860 U.S. Census. This
would make her birth date as 1847. Once again, it appears that she may not be a
daughter of Juan Jose Baca and Maria Antonia Jaramillo, but rather possibly a
grandchild or adopted child.
CHILD NOTES: Jose Dinicio BACA
Birth (circa 1845):
There is no actual age listed on the 1845 census, so he may have been a baby at
this time.

Juan Jose Baca is probably the son of Juan Dionosio Baca and
Maria Rita Pino. Curiously, there is definite lack of evidence for Juan Jose
Baca’s parentage. There is no baptismal or marriage record for Juan Jose, and
few sacramental records for his children. Before 1833, there are no census
records listing Juan Jose Baca before 1833, even though he was apparently born
between 1796 and 1799 and could have been listed in the 1802 Spanish census of
the Albuquerque Confraternity, the censuses of Las Huertas and Bernalillo
(1803-1807), or even the San Antonio del Sabinal census of 1827, just to name a
few.
[1]
Since it appears that all the Baca families that arrived in
the Socorro area in its first few decades were from the Rio Abajo area, a
review was made of the Albuquerque, Isleta, Tomé, Belen and Socorro records. Other
than a couple of baptismal records for the illegitimate children of Juan Jose
Baca’s daughter Maria del Pilar Baca, there are no other sacramental records
for his children. The evidence of Juan Jose Baca’s parentage therefore must
come from two other sources.
First, Juan Jose Baca and Maria Antonia Jaramillo are listed
as
padrinos for four of Juan Dionosio
Baca and Maria Rita Pino’s grandchildren and great grandchildren: Mariade Jesus
Felipa Baca (1837),
Juan Dionosio
Aniseto Baca (1838), Maria Felistia Pino, and Jose Serapio Jaramillo (1851).
All of the baptisms took place in either Socorro of in La Parida.
[2]
Second, Juan Jose Baca and Maria Antonia Jaramillo are
continually listed as living in La Parida in the 1833, 1845 and 1860 censuses
(see above.) Descendants of Juan Dionosio Baca and Maria Rita Pino who also
lived in the area include Jose Miguel Baca, Antonio Maria Baca and Jose Leon
Baca.
[3]
Certainly, there are other Baca families in this area who definitely or
possibly not related to this family;
[4]
however, Juan Jose Baca and Jose Miguel Baca are enumerated very near each
other in the 1860 census.
[5]
This may be significant, or it may mean nothing. In any case, the
circumstantial evidence seems to point to Juan Jose Baca being a relative of
this Baca clan.

Juan Jose and Maria Antonia are also listed in the baptismal records of Juana
Maria Salome (1835), whose grandfather is a certain Juan Miguel Baca, (not to
be confused with Jose Miguel Baca) whose parentage is unknown; and Matias
Miterio Torres, who was the grandson of Altagracia Baca, who was the daughter
of Dionosio Antonio Baca, a different, yet similarly named, founder of Socorro.
Ibid, pp. 89 and 280. Juan Jose Baca
and Maria Antonia Jaramillo are also listed as
padrinos for at least four other children not directly related to
this Baca clan.
