Click on the image to make it larger - It is the road approaching Tres Piedras from Taos. You can see one of the "piedras" on the horizon just to the right of the road.
Reference pages 190 - 194 of the publication New Mexico Historical Review for July of 1955 where there is an article titled "Jose Gonzales, Genizaro Governor" written by Fray Angelico Chavez. An excellent genealogy of one of our most famous New Mexicans by a foremost New Mexican historian.
Jose de los Angles Gonzales is noted as marrying Maria Ramona Bernal on December 15, 1835. It does not state where exactly in New Mexico the marriage took place. Here he is also listed as the widower of Ignacia Martin of Picuris and the son of Jose Santos Gonzales and Maria Martin.
Read all about it here at Wikipedia:

Or here at the office of the New Mexico Historian:

Though both sites seem to never have researched Jose de los Angles Gonzales genealogy like Fray Angelico Chavez did. Chaves did ascertain and document the governors geanology in the article published in the July 1955 New Mexico Historical Review. If we can believe anyone we can believe Fray Angelico Chavez.
