• Background Information. 250
Manuel Sáenz de Garvizu [ONMF: 277] had traveled to Mexico City where he became ill in bed and dictated his last will and testament on 3 Dec 1756. He declared he was a native of Pamplona, Navarra (Basque region of Spain), and a son of Juaquín Sánchez and Agustina Garvizu. He further declared he was married with María Ignacia Lucero with whom he had the following children:

1. Juana Sáenz de Garvizu, age 14 (b.ca. 1744).

2. Manuel Sáenz de Garvizu, age 12 (b.ca. 1746).

3. María de Loreto Sáenz de Garvizu, age 4 (b.ca. 1754).

4. José Manuel Sáenz de Garvizu, age 2 (b.ca. 1756).

Manuel Sáenz de Garvizu recovered from his illness and returned to New Mexico, presumably dying around 1758 at El Paso where his last will and testament was filed and preserved.
