Jose Montano, living in Santa Fe, was twenty years old in 1695. He married Maria De Cuellar and went to live in the Rio Abajo, where in 1715 he wounded a man, because of jealousy, at the home of his mother-in-law, then married to Tomas Garcia. He was still living in 1734 when he and Maria were sponsors for a child of his sister Juana and Nicolas De Chavez. In 1750 he trespassed on Alameda Pueblo lands and got a fine imposed by Governor Gachupin. He is in all probablity the Jose Jose Montano who died a "muerte viloenta" at Tome, Juan 29, 1756. His widow was still much alive in 1772 as one of the first setters of the Rio Puerco country with three of her sons. (Origins pg 234)
