This is a chart on my maternal grandmother Ignacia Archuleta. It illustrates how little we know of her ancestors. Especially if you consider what we know of her husbands, Roman Benavidez. This is as far back as we have been able to get in over 10 years of looking. Stuck for sure.

Parte de La Historia de Tomas Antonio Encinias

Click on the image to make it larger. Note lines 33 through 38.

Tomas Antonio Encinas is my 3rd great grandfather. Gleaning material from the historical record on him is fascinating, he lived such a long life. He saw a whole lot of New Mexico History. 

Tomas Antonio was born in New Mexico, New Spain in 1773 to Jose Xavier Encinias and Maria Francisca Barranca. This was 173 years after his ancestors came to this land with don Juan de Onate and three years before the American Colonies got their independence from England in 1776.

He was married 3 different times.  The first time to Maria Apolonia Benavidez on the 8th of May of 1813 at the age of 40. The battle of New Orleans was being fought in the United States in this year. The padrinos were Josef Venavides and Josefa Urioste. The witnesses were Diego Padilla and Antonio Armenta. There were 4 known children from this marriage, one daughter and 3 sons. Maria Apolonia died on the 11th of  September of 1822.

In the Spanish Colonial Census of 1823 Tomas is listed as a shoemaker, a widower and living in Rio Tesuque.

He next married Maria Rosa Roybal, my 3rd great grandmother, on the 1st of October in 1825 at the age of 52. Maria Rosa was the daughter  of Eusebio Roybal and Maria Francisca Ortiz.  New Mexico was still New Spain at this time.  He married Maria Rosa Roybal at the Pueblo y Mission de San Ydlfonso, Testigos,  or the witness,  were Miguel Ortiz y Jose el Scristan. If Miguel Ortiz and "el sacristan" were the only witnesses then it must have been a low key affair as compared to the first marriage where he had both padrinos and witnesses. The fact that el sacristan is not named indicates that the individual was probably an Indian. Between 1824 and 1845 they would have 8 children, 3 more sons and 5 more daughters.

A funny thing happened during this part of Tomas Antonio's life. His oldest son from his marriage with Maria Apolonia Benavidez, named Juan Bartolo Sepuriano Cipriano Encinias, married his father's, sister in law, Maria Estefana Roybal. Bartolo and Maria Estefana were married on the 6th of February of 1839 in Jacona, New Mexico. That means that Tomas Antonio and his son Bartolo were not only father and son but also brothers in law.

Meanwhile Tomas Antonio went through the Independence of New Mexico and the rest of New Spain from the nation of Spain. He was there at the birth of the Republic of Mexico. Then a few years later he went through the transformation again, this time with the invasion and annexation of New Mexico by the United States of America. By this time Tomas Antonio had been a citizen of New Spain, the Republic of Mexico and the United States of America.  All of this while staying in place.

On the 16th of September in 1855 he married for the last time at the tender age of 82. The woman was 24 year old Maria Dolores Aragon, daughter of Manuel Antonio Aragon and Manuela Gonsales from Las Mulas, New Mexico.  Las Mulas is now called North San Isidro in San Miguel County. They were married at San Miguel del Bado, Tomas Antonio Encinias and Maria Dolores Aragon would have 6 children, 5 sons and a daughter. All of this while living in El Gusano (Now South San Isidro), New Mexico in San Miguel County.

He, along with his family, were enumerated in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census at the age of 97 in El Gusano New Mexico. Refer to the image above on lines 33 through 38 to get a look at his family. He is listed as a farm laborer at age 97. 

He was buried in Las Vegas, New Mexico on the 6th of December of 1877 at the age of 104 years.

Pedro Robledo, el Menor, Died at Acoma Pueblo

This is modern day Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. Click on the image to make it larger.

One of my ancestors, Pedro Robledo Jr. (el menor)  was a member of the first battle between the Spaniards and the folks at Acoma on the 4th of December of 1598. Juan de Zaldivar was leading a group of Spanish soldiers through the area and stopped to acquire flour for the troops. The Acoma at first refused but the Spaniards persuaded them to grind the flour. The Acoma indicated it would take several days to grind the Amount that Zaldivar required.

When the time came to collect the flour the maese de campo Juan de Zaldivar ordered Lt. Bernabe de las Casas to keep 3 soldiers and guard the horses while he and others climbed to the top. At the pueblo he allowed his soldiers to break up into small groups to facilitate the gathering of the flour.

No sooner had they broken up into the small groups when they were attacked by the Indians, both men and women. Throwing rocks, war clubs and other objects from the elevated rooftops. At several points the Spaniards rallied and made gallant stands in frenzied hand to hand fighting. Juan de Zaldivar fought a group with his sword until he was killed with a terrible blow to the head.

On the plains below Lt. Bernabe de las Casas and the remaining horse guards heard the commotion of the battle. One of the Spanish servants escaped down the steep trail and brought news of many Spanish casualties. Casas looked up and saw two of the youngest soldiers, Juan de Olague and Pedro de Robledo had fought their way to the edge of the rock mesa. Once there, they had no chance but to continue fighting and die in the process or jump. They decided on jumping. Pedro Robledo struck the side of the rock mesa and died instantly. Juan de Olage landed on some sand blown against the cliff and survived.

That made 2 members of the Robledo family to die in New Mexico. Pedro Robledo Sr. on the 21st of May of 1598 near current day Radium Springs, New Mexico and Pedro Robledo Jr. on the 4th of December 1598 at Acoma Pueblo. A Heavy price for the Robledo family.

Cowboy (fake) History? I think so!

Click on the image to make it larger. Then click again to make it even larger.

I think this is a bunch of hooie! Cowboy history! A fake! I will explain later. The Judge is real. Anyway I will explain later as I update this post.

The following is from American Heritage.com:

Our “Postscripts” feature “Of Cruel and Unusual Death Sentences” in the October, 1977, issue called forth an unusual run of mail from readers. The item had to do with an 1881 death sentence passed down by an anonymous (we assumed) judge on the luckless José Manuel Miguel Xavier Gonzales, a sentence that combined eloquence and racist venom in about equal portions. At the end of the feature, we wondered if any of our readers could enlighten us as to the origins of this singular example of jurisprudential excess.

They could indeed. While the name of the defendant has come down to us variously as José Maria Martin, José Maniah, and José Maria Martinez, most of our respondents agreed that he was a Mexican sheepherder who had killed a local cowboy in New Mexico over a disputed card game. Some recounted the legend that the accused later escaped jail and died some years afterward when he fell off a horse. Almost all attributed the death sentence itself to the infamous Judge Isaac ("Hanging Judge") Parker, a jurist, it was said, who would string up a man quite as cheerfullv as he would kill flies. And as often.

Others disagreed, and from the evidence supplied us, they appear to have made a good case. Among these particularly diligent readers was Harry L. Bigbee, of Santa Fe, New Mexico. “This entire matter, in my opinion,” he writes, “is a distorted, fictionalized version of an actual sentence imposed by Judge Kirby Benedict in about 1864 in Taos, New Mexico.” He then goes on to cite several contemporary sources, including a version of the death sentence that appeared in an 1864 letter to the editor of the Santa Fe Weekly New Mexican. The recipient in this case was one José Maria Martin, but in most other respects the language of the sentence is nearly identical to that attributed to Judge Parker. Consider this passage, for example: “José Maria Martin, it is now the springtime, in a little while the grass will be springing up green in these beautiful valleys, and on these broad mesas and mountain sides, flowers will be blooming; birds will be singing their sweet carols, and nature will be putting on her most gorgeous and her most attractive robes, and life will be pleasant. .. but none of this for you, José Maria Martin.”
