San Agustín de la Isleta Baptisms, p. 127 ³⁴

Padres: José Vallejo y Rosa García
Padrinos: Santiago Chabes y su madre Antonia Baca


It seems like many genealogies of this family, Bárbara Vallejos mixed up with Bernarda Vallejos. I've seen some that have both made into one person.The records show Pablo married to a Bábara Molina who married a second time to Juan Francisco Estevan Mora.

Pedro Antonio Molina and his wife Bernarda Vallejos live in Valencia while Pedro Antonio Molina and his wife Bárbara Vallejos lived in Tomé.

The New Mexico Prenuptial Investigations From the Archivos Históricos del Arzobispado de Durango, 1800-1893, pp. 175-176 ⁴³⁸ negate this. The New Mexico pre-nuptial investigations (New Mexico Roots Ltd²⁴⁸.), show the parents of Bárbara Vallejos as José Vallejos and Rosa Garsía. The Durango investigations point to Bernarda's bother as Juan Vallejos whose parents are Lugardo Vallejos and Rosa Romero. This means that the Antonio Molina married to Berndarda Vallejos is not Pablo Antonio Molina. Here are two charts that shows the relationship.

  Noted events in her life were:
