The following are notes my grandfather, Roman Benavidez kept when he was a justice of the peace in the late territorial and early statehood period for precinct No. 12, which was in San Miguel County, Rowe, New Mexico. His papers are in the possession of my sister in Albuquerque. She copied the documents from the original and I am using what she transcribed. The translation from Spanish to English is mine.
Ramon Archuleta and Juana Ortiz were married in Pecos, New Mexico on july 11 1891. They lived in Rowe New Mexico and in 1909 they had at least 3 children. Must have been a real screaming match to pay $100.00 back in those days.
