Maria Carvajal

  General Notes:

Maria Carvajal is not mentioned in any records by name. We know her last name was Carvajal because a Agustin de Carvajal is identified as being Don Fernando's brother-in-law. She is called Maria here because by long Spanish custom, Maria was the first part of almost every girls first name. (Chavez, p.22)

Maria married Fernando Duran Y Chaves Don, son of Pedro Gomez Duran Y Chaves and Isabel De Bohorques Vaca. (Fernando Duran Y Chaves Don was born about 1609 in Sandia, New Mexico, New Mexico ²⁵ and died about 1669 in , New Mexico ²⁶.)
