Hilario Martinez 1st married Teresa Sacoman in Las Vegas on June 15, 1902 and was enumerated in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census at Las Vegas Ward 3, San Miguel, New Mexico; Roll: T624_917; Page: 1B; Enumeration District: 0197; FHL microfilm: 1374930. Living with his wife and inlaws. Hilario R. Martinez and his wifeTeresa had been married 8 years and there were no children listed for the couple. It appears that Teresa passed away as she does not show up in any of the later census.
Hilario's age is consistent as we have followed him via the documents we have identified. It varies a few years on the census records but we are still very comfortable we are talking about the very same man. Census records are not very accurate when documenting age. Hilario had a younger brother by the name of Juan who is listed as living with him in 1920 in Raton. His brother was born in Santa Fe on the 5th of May in 1875, so he was a few years younger than Hilario.

Wow. Amazing amount of information. This means that our probable common relative Hilario would have been about 59 yrs. old at the time of the 1930 Census (give or take a few yrs. for accuracy of the Census info.). My mother was born in 1938, at which point we believe that Hilario was already deceased - meaning that he would have been anywhere from about 59 or so to somewhere around 67 when he died. Incredible research on your part! Thanks much for clearing up much of this personal as well as New Mexican story from its cloudier mists of the past !
1930 Census: "Hilario (Dario) Martinez is living with his family consisting of his wife, now identified as Felicitas Martinez, and sons Santiago, Adolfo, Luis and a daughter Rosarita."
*** And there are two more children, who come after 1930. My aunt, Suzy (Susana) and my mother Mary (Maria Ana) both born in the decade of the 1930's.
