• Background Information: ²⁵²
Felis de Carvajal is mentioned in 1661-1664 as being twenty-six years old, born in the Estancia of San Nicolás in the Sandía district, and married to Juana de Arvizu. He had part of the Senecú encomienda, and was referred to as a "noble man, the son of Captain Juan de Victoria Carvajal." His wife might well be the woman of this name who was referred to as a grandchild of Francisco Gómez, the Portuguese. No mention of Felis is found in the 1680 Revolt lists; hence he can be presumed dead by then. However, the journals mention the hacienda of "Luis" de Carvajal on the Río del Norte; undoubtedly, the refugees (or the transcribers) meant to write "Felis."
