Bartolomé Romero II, captain, was born at San Gabriel and later resided in Santa Fe, having been a Regent of New Mexico and Alcalde of Santa Fe. His wife was a daughter of Captain Francisco Pérez Granillo, by whom he had two sons and a daughter: Bartolomé III, living in Santa Fe in 1663; Nicolás, residing at the mines of Sonora; and Juana, wife of Diego Pérez Granillo, also at Sonora. Their father had died around the year 1643.

In 1628, then twenty-six years old, Bartolomé had deposed before Father Benavides that his wife had failed to recover completely because of a spell cast on her by the wife of Juan Griego. Her name is not known, except that she was a Pérez Granillo; in 1632 she wasat the Mission of Senecú taking treatments with her mother and grandmother. The name "Bartolomé López Romero" on El Morro could very well belong to this man.
