Diego Antonio Sanchez and the Socorro Land Grant

I've been writing a three part article about the Socorro Land Grant that lists over 60 possible settlers of the grant. In 1818, the governor of New Mexico requested that citizens of the colony donate goods towards a war effort against the Navajos. In September 1818, Socorro residents signed up for this donation drive. Since Socorro was re-settled in either 1815 or 1816, this is the earliest known list of Socorro residents.

The first article was published in the September 2011 issue of the New Mexico Genealogist; the second article will be published in the March 2012 issue. I'm writing the third article which I hope to have published in the June 2012 issue.

Due to space, I only wrote a paragraph about each name on the list. Some of the people I've already written about in other articles, some of them are mentioned on this blog. However, I felt that I should at least profile one of the names in this blog.

I chose Diego Antonio Sanchez, who will be profiled in part three of the article.

According to a prenuptial investigation, it appears that Diego Antonio Sanchez married Maria Antonia Gallegos after December 31, 1805, probably in Belen. Diego Antonio was the son of the elder Diego Antonio Sanchez and Ana Maria Alvarez de Castillo; while Maria Antonia was the daughter of Anselmo Gallegos and Maria de la Cruz Silva. It appears that they had at least nine children between 1810 and 1823, mostly in the Belen area. They would have had to have moved to Socorro by 1818, and they had at least one child there.

Maria Antonia Gallegos died before 1833 when her husband was listed as a widower in the Socorro census of that year.

Below is how the family was enumerated in the 1833 census:

V(iudo) [widower] Diego Sanches  .... 52
                               Jose Sanches .... 23
                               Martina Sanches .... 19
                               Rita Sanches .... 17

In the 1845, Diego Antonio Sanchez is listed again:

V(iudo) Diego Sanches .... 60
Maria Martina .... 30
Maria Rita .... 20
Maria Sabina .... 5
Maria Petra .... 2

More information about the family can be found in documents I created for this post. Click on the links below. - Robert Baca

John S. Calhoun:
Indian Agent, First Territorial Governor 
Before he became N. M’s first territorial governor, John Calhoun came to New Mexico as its first Indian agent where he became acquainted with old civilizations and conflicts. Hispanic ranchers and Pueblo Indians were at the mercy of Navajo raiders who had their own grievances. Washington was ignorant of the territory so Calhoun was on his own.


Sherry Robinson is a well known media personality and columnist, independent historian and researcher in New Mexico. A speaker for the NM Humanities Council, she has won numerous awards for her work. Two of her books are: Apache Voices, and El Malpais, Mt. Taylor, & the Zuni Mts. with a history of the Lipan Apaches ready to be published.

More about Ignacio Trujillo, born 1817

Yesterday, I published an ahnentafel table for one of my mother's second great-grandfathers, Igancio Trujillo. I thought I might add a little more information about this man.

Ignacio was one of the children of at least eight children of Juan Antonio Trujillo and Juliana Silva. This family was enumerated in the 1833 Mexican census of San Miguel del Socorro:

(Married) Juan Antonio TRUGILLO        38
                 Juliana SILVA                         32
                 Jose TRUGILLO                     18
                 Ygnacio                                    16
                  Miguel                                     14
                  Maria Josefa                            12
                  Maria Guadalupe                      8
                 Ysabel                                        6
                 Santiago                                     4
                 Juana Maria                               2

From this census record, we can figure out that Ignacio was born circa 1817.

When he was about 30 years old, Ignacio Trujillo married Maria Josefa Silbestra Pino on 28 February 1847 at the San Miguel Church in Socorro, New Mexico. She was the daughter of Jose Pino and Barbara Chaves. Josefa Silbestra was born about 2 January 1828 in Belen, New Mexico.

Ignacio and Josefa Silbestra had at least two children:

1. Maria Albina Trujillo, born 1 March 1863 in Valverde, New Mexico

2. Maximiliano Emilio Trujillo, husband of Veronica Baca

Maria Albina Trujillo was my mom's great-grandmother. Albina married Santiago Padilla on 25 November 1878 at San Miguel Church in Socorro, New Mexico. Santiago Padilla and Maria Albina Trujillo were the maternal grandparents of my maternal grandfather, Santiago Baca. It appears that my grandfather Santiago Baca may have been named after his grandfather Santiago Padilla.

Tim Kimball - January 21, 2012 NMGS Presentation

Parking at the Special Collections Library:

A few of you have shown concern about the parking situation at the Special Collections Library for the Tim Kimball presentation on January 21st. I spoke to the librarian, and she gave me this following suggestion:

1. Get there early. The earlier you are there, the more likely that you will find a close space to park.

2. There are parking spaces nearby, especially to the East, North and South of the library. If you don't mind walking, park a couple of blocks away.

3. Carpool. Ask a friend who is going to the program to drive you there or offer to drive someone else. If you have limited mobility, you may ask someone to drop you off near the door.

4. Take a bus. The Central bus stops just in front of the library. However, don't take the Rapid Ride. That bus does not stop near the library.

I know that this is not terribly convenient, but I know that this program will be worth it.

See you there! (I may take the bus!)

Tim Kimball Asking for the Inestimable Right: New Mexico’s State Government of 1850

During spring of 1850 New Mexicans organized a state government and petitioned the US Senate for admission. Calling the promises made by Polk and Kearny in 1846, New Mexico possessed a greater population than most previous territories granted statehood. National hurdles of slavery, anti-Catholicism, and racism doomed this first attempt at statehood in a complex drama that continued for another 62 years.

Tim Kimball is an independent researcher and Army-trained intelligence analyst and is literate in Spanish and German. Tim’s special interest is in archival research on occupation-era New Mexico and its application to a more complete record of the period. He has published several articles and given several presentations on his interpretations.

Join us in the newly renovated Botts Hall at the Albuquerque Special Collections Library on Central and Edith! This presentation is the first of the 2012 New Mexico Centennial Program. Come help us celebrate every third Saturday of the month, January through November, 2012.

This program is free and open to the public

The New Mexico Genealogical Society
Presents

Henrietta Christmas
“Jornada del Muerto Grant aka Armendaris Grant”The Jornada del Muerto Grant. The Jornada del Muerto Grant was first sought by Pedro Armendaris of San Elizario around 1819. Later requests for a grant from this long stretch of mostly dry land came in 1845, and conflicted with other grants to the Armendaris family. Long associated with the Camino Real, the Jornada del Muerto Grant presents an interesting set of questions. Beset with drought, Indian predations, and a desert landscape, did it have real value? A primer on researching land grants will be pointed out within the presentation.

Henrietta Christmas, a native New Mexican, is a genealogical and historical researcher for the last 35 years and she descends from eleven of the soldiers that came with Oñate in 1598. She has written several books which relate to New Mexico's small towns and history and over 100 articles mostly on New Mexico's Colonial Families. She is a long-time member of the Historical Society of New Mexico, Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico and the New Mexico Genealogical Society. Two of her most recent projects include assisting with the bios for Segesser Hide Paintings for the opening of the History Museum in Santa Fe and writing two chapters in the Anthology for the Historical Society of NM, titled “Sunshine and Shadows in New Mexico’s Past.”

Henrietta’s interest in researching land grants is two-fold, identifying the persons involved and hearing the testimonies. These records provide an in depth knowledge of who, what and when things happened in regards to their specific land grants. Many of these papers are far superior in terms of the WPA interviews and represent New Mexico’s historical past. Some of her most recent land grant projects include El Rito, Antonio Salazar, Santa Fe County and Chaperito. Henrietta resides in Corrales with her husband Walt.

This program is free and open to the public.
