Isabel Ruíz

  General Notes:

I've found conflicting information concerning Juan López Olguín. In David Snow's New Mexico's First Colonists, Snow has included a note saying that Catalina de Villanueva was Juan's mother and Ana and María Ortiz was his sisters. He also listed López Olguin's father, Juan López de Villasna as a member of Oñate party. He states that Angélico Chávez made a mistake in ONMF.

José Antonio Esquibel's Beyond Origins website includes discussion that contradicts Snow. The baptismal records for López Olguin clearly shows that Isabel Ruiz was his mother. Esquibel also says that there is clear proof that López Olguin and Catalina de Villanueva had two daughters, Ana and María Ortiz. ^250,252,253
