Andres Gomez Robledo

   Ancestral File Number: 56-6.

  General Notes:

Andres Gomez Robledo, twnety years old and single in 1663, said he was twnety-four, a native of Sana Fe, and still single in 1665, when he and his brother Juan helped Gov. Penalosa cheat on sacks of pinon kept at the Gomez estancia of Las Barrancas in the Rio Abajo. Andres served with two of his elder brothers in the General Council of the Kingdom prior to 1680. When the Indians struck he was a Maese de Campo, most active in the defense of Santa Fe in which he lost his life, the only officer killed. Andres had married Juana Ortiz, a daughter of Maria Ortiz de Vera, or Baca, by Diego De Montoya or a previous husband. Juana escaped with the Santa Fe refugees;with her went her orphaned children, all girls, most of whom figured after the Reconquest as the wives of prominent leaders. Their names were:Margarita, wife of Jacinto Pelaez;Maria, who Married Alonso Romero and then Diego Arias de Quiros;Francisca, wife of Ignacio De Roybal;Luica, married to Miguel De Dios Sandoval;and Rosa, who died single. Perhaps a Juana, who married Domingo Roybal, was a sister of theirs. (Origins pg 37)
