Francisco De Anaya Almazon

  General Notes:

"Francisco de Anaya II, Captain and Alcalde Mayor of the Tanos pueblos, was married to Geronima Perez de Bustillo, daughter of Hernando de Hinojos and Beatriz Perez de Bustillo. They had two children in 1663: Juana, nine years old, and a boy, five. After his wife's death, he married Francisca Dominguez, a sister of his brother's wife.
In 1680 he was in command of a squad which was attacked by the Santa Clara Indians on August 9 or 10. He and five soldiers escaped and subsequently took part in the defense of Santa Fe. Meanwhile, his wife and children were reported killed, and his son, Francisco, "el mozo," was slain at Galisteo. Two years later, a captured Indian deposed that he had seen Francisca Dominguez' nude body out on a field, her head bashed in, and a very small infant dead at her feet.
Francisco passed muster in 1680, declaring that the enemy had killed his entire family and that he had nothing left. In 1681, he said that he was forty-eight years old, a widower; he was described as having a medium build, protruding eyes, a thick and partly gray beard, and wavy chestnut hair. During the Otermin Campaign of 1681, he declared that he had served His Majesty for thirty-eight yars. In 1691 he was Mayordomo of the Conquistadora Confraternity, and in 1693 he returned to New Mexico with a third wife." (Origins, pp.4-5)
