Luis Martin Serrano

  General Notes:

"Luis Martin Serrano II escaped the 1680 massacre with his wife and twelve children, four of these being sons of military age. Luis held the rank of captain. The next year he gave his age as forty-eight or fifty, and declared that a son of his, eighteen years old, was ready to bear arms. He himself was described as a native of New Mexico, married, having a good, slender physique, dark complexion, black hair and beard, and a mole on the left cheek." (Origins, p.72)

Luis married Antonia Miranda, daughter of Blas De Miranda and Juliana Perez.

Luis next married Melchora De Los Reyes Gonzalez, daughter of Juan Gonzalez Bernal and Apolonia Varela. (Melchora De Los Reyes Gonzalez was born about 1659 in New Mexico ⁹⁴.)
