Ygnacio de Aragón, 32 year old son of Juan de Aragón came with his family to New Mexico with Diego de Vargas in 1693. He was mediaum height, with an aquiline face, high forehead, and small, deep-set eyes. His wife was Sebastiana Ortiz, 27, aslo born in Mexico City, the daughter of Nicolás Ortiz. She had an aquiline face, large eyes and forehead, and a small sharp nose.

They had 2 girls at the time: María, 8 years old and born in Mexico City, having an aquiline face, an high forehead, black eyes, and a small nose; and Antonia, three years old, born in Mexico City, and of exactly the same description as her sister.

Another list has Aragón with his wife and three children. Perhaps one child died on the way, or else an elder boy had joined the Vargas troops. The wife was in all probablity a sister of Nicolás Ortiz, another settler who brought his family in the same group, for both are natives of Mexico City and both are children of Nicolás Ortiz.

Ygnacio still resided in Santa Fé in 1705, but by 1710, had settled in Bernalillo, when he gave his age as 50. His wife and died prior to 1708, when he married Lucis Baca on April 28. She was apparently, a daughter of Christóbal Baca of Bernilillo, and the reason he moved.

There was a son, Salvador Manuel, was born on April 21, 1710. A Nicolás de Aragón, of Bernalillo, 32 years old in 1731, was in all likelihood a son by his first (Ortiz) wife. María, the 8-year-old child of 1693, became the wife of Antonio Baca, June 12, 1706. The numerous Aragón clan of the Río Abajo area stem from the familiy of Ynacio Aragón.
