came with his entire family in 1600. He was a native of Cantillana (near Sevilla, Spain), the son of Francisco de Montoya and was described as being short, wearing a black beard and twenty-eight years of age. His wife was Maria de Zamora, born in Mexico City at San Sebastian, the daughter of Pedro de Zamora who was a resident of that city and former Alcalde Mayor of Oaxaca, Mexico. Her mother's name was Agustina Abarca. ["Archivos General de la Nacion, Mexico: 1. Inquisicion - Photo copies in the Coronado Library at the University of New Mexico.
