"Nicolás Durán, "el moso" (the younger), was living in the Villa de Santa Fe in February 1659. His wife was María, an Apache Indian born circa 1623 who was a criada of Capitán Hernán Martín Serrano. Nicolás and María lived on their rancho along the banks of the Santa Fe River, which was referred to as "el Rancho Ribado." This rancho came under the administration of the Real Justicia as penalty for Nicolás and María having received goods stolen from a storeroom of the Casas Reales (Palace of the Governors). Nicolás Durán, el moso, was ordered to house arrest at his father's house and was restricted from leaving the house unless granted license by the Real Justicia. His father was specifically identified as Ayudante Nicolás Durán (ONMF: 27).
