• Background Information: 252,1580
Ángelico Chávez, in Origins of New Mexico's Families, suggested that Catalina Vásquez was the daughter of Bernardina Vásquez and Diego Gerónimo Márquez. The Lucero de Godoy Family of New Mexico presented another possiblity. The Lucero de Godoy Family of New Mexico page 10 states:

"Carvajal died circa 1683 in Real de San Lorenzo,El Pasodel Norte. She escaped to the Paso del Norte with Juan in 1680. [source: Roots Ltd. P. 964]

"There is evidence that indicates that Juana de Carvajal was a daughter of Gerónimo de Carvajal and Margarita Márquez. In the DM for Juan Lucero de Godoy and his third wife, Isabel de Salazar, it was noted that the couple was related in the third-degree of affinity. José Antonio Esquibel has reconstructed the relationship as follows:

Bernardina Vásquez 1st degree Catalina Vásquez
Margarita Márquez 2nd degree Bernardina de Salas y Orozco (Trujillo)
Juana Carvajal 3rd degree Isabel de Salazar

"Further infomaion documenting the family relationships can be found on ONMF. pp. 14, 69, 107, 112 and NM Roots Ltd. P. 964."

A discussion on the New Mexico Genealogical Society FaceBook page helped clear this up:

José Antonio Esquibel That's the most current info. Another piece of info is that one of Juana's daughters was named Geromina Lucero de Godoy.

Nancy Lucía López: This would mean that Catalina Márquez Vásquez isn't a Márquez, but really only a Vásquez and is the sister of Bernadina Vásquez. That would also mean that Bernadina de Salas, daughter of Catalina and wife of Diego de Trujillo was named after her aunt instead of her grandmother. It would also make the unnamed Pérez de Bustillo daughter the mother of both Catalina and Bernadina. I looked back at ONMF, and realize that it was only the name Chávez was using for his supposition. Chávez wrote:

"Bernardina Vásquez, widow of Diego Márquez, living at the estancia of Los Cerrillos with her daughter Margarita (wife of Gerónimo de Carvajal) in 1660, played a role in major happenings of her day. Catalina Vásquez was the wife of Diego de Trujillo, and most likely a daughter of Bernardina, from whom her grand-daughter, Bernardina de Salas y Trujillo, got her name.

"Origins of New Mexico Families: A Genealogy of the Spanish Colonial Period, p. 112"

This also would make Catalina the much younger sister of Bernadina since the dates could also make her Bernadina's daughter

José Antonio Esquibel: Yes, that's the conclusion I've reached as well based on a construction of the blood relationships between the second and third wives of Juan Lucero de Godoy.

José Antonio Esquibel: Keep in mind we have no record that specifically gives the names of the parents of Juana de Carvajal. Chavez in ONMF did not include her as a daughter of Juan de Vitoria Carvajal and Isabel Holguin. Also, to clarify something mentioned above, the prenuptial investigation for Just Lucero de Godoy and Isabel de Salazar indicated the these two were related by affinity. Since Isabel de Salazar was single and had not been involved in a sexual relationship with a close relative of Juan, the conclusion is that Isabel was a blood relative of one of Juan's previous wives. In drawing up the geneaology of Luisa Romero (family geneaolgy is well documented) there was no sign of a blood relationships. Whereas, looking at what we know about the Carvajal family genealogy and the Hurtado-Trujillo Salas family, a relationship emerged.


Catalina married Diego de Trujillo about 1633 in Sandía Pueblo, Nuevo Méjico, Nueva España.252 (Diego de Trujillo was born 1612 or 1613 in Ciudád de México, Nueva España 252 and died in 1682 in Casa Grande, Nuevo España 252.)
