Juan Archuleta ²³¹

  General Notes:

"Juan de Archuleta who came back to New Mexico in 1693 was very likely the son of Juan de Archuleta and Maria Lujan, since generally the natives who returned were the eldest sons of eldest sons, to reclaim their patrimony... In the Indian rprising of June 4, 1696, happening to be at Santa Cruz, Juan went to rescue Fray Blas Navarro at San Juan Pueblo, and brought him to Santa Cruz; then he went on the same mision to San Ildefonso, but found the Padres already murdered and the church sacked. He also carried out orders for Vargas regarding the protection of the people at Bernalillo and the loyal Indians of Zia Pueblo. In 1698 and 1699 he received grants of land in Santa Fe and another at San Juan from Governor Cubero, and in 1697 and 1698 he purchased lands at Santa Cruz. He was dead by 1703, when his widow acquired more Santa Cruz property." (Origins, p.131-132)

Juan married Isabel Gonzalez. (Isabel Gonzalez was born about 1659 in New Mexico ²³² and was buried on 16 Oct 1729 in Santa Cruz, New Mexico ²³³.)
