Francisco García (Holgado) is first mentioned in 1632 as being twenty-two years of age and a soldier of Santa Fe. He later established his residence in the Rio Abajo area near Isleta, having also lived in the Salinas region of Tajique and Cuarác when those Missions were in existence. He was a brother-in-law of José Nieto and Pedro de Leyva. A weaver by trade, he was once forbidden by Gov. López Mendizábal to make cloth for the Franciscans' habits. In 1665 he declared himself to be a captain fifty-seven years old and a native of San Gabriel del Yunque. A resident of Isleta and a widower at this time, he said that he had two daughters living with him. After the Indian Rebellion, though dead prior to 1680, he was still remembered as a good "Protector of the Indians."
