Antonio Dominguez de Mendoza (1648 - before 1689) Juana de Garcia y Noriega (1658 - ) Antonio Domínguez de Mendoza and his wife, Juana de García y Noriega, were the parents of our ancestor Leonor Domínguez de Mendoza, who married Miguel Martín Serrano.  We know this from Fray Angélico Chávez’ book, Origins of New Mexico Families, Revised Edition, pages 26-27. Antonio, born in 1648, was the son of Francisco Domínguez de Mendoza [abt. 1617-1681] and his wife, Juana de Rueda.  He was a grandson of Tomé Domínguez de Mendoza II and great grandson of Tomé Domínguez and Elena Ramírez de Mendoza.  The family appears to have arrived in New Mexico in the 1630’s. The city of Tomé, New Mexico, is named for Antonio’s father. Juana, born about 1658, was the daughter of Alonso García, who was the lieutenant governor of New Mexico at the time of Pueblo Revolt. Her mother was Teresa Varela, a daughter of Pedro Varela de Losada and Ana Ortiz. She married Antonio about 1673.  They were among New Mexico’s elite. The Domínguez de Mendoza and García y Noriega families lost many members during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  Juana’s brother, Lázaro, was killed at Galisteo.    Three aunts of Antonio and their families were slaughtered in the revolt. Antonio and Juana and their children took refuge with the other survivors at Guadalupe del Paso, which lay on the Mexican side of the Rio Grade at El Paso. But in those times it was part of New Mexico. A brother of Juana’s, Alonso, was later killed by Apaches in 1696. Two other brothers, Tomás and Francisco, lived to be founding members of Albuquerque in 1706. It was as exiles that Francisco Domínguez de Mendoza and his son Antonio died at Guadalupe del Paso.  Antonio’s widow, Juana de García y Noriega, did not join Governor Diego Vargas in his 1693 re-entry of New Mexico, but three of her daughters married New Mexicans and returned there later on.  Juana may have lived out her life in Guadalupe del Paso, or she may have moved close to her daughters in New Mexico.  We don’t know where she died. Some of the García y Noriegas remained in El Paso and became prominent there.   CHILDREN OF ANTONIO DOMÍNGUEZ DE MENDOZA AND JUANA DE GARCÍA Y NORIEGA   [1]        Leonor Domínguez de Mendoza, our ancestor, was born about 1689.  Her father died about that time.  She married Miguel Martín Serrano about 1712.  He is not to be confused with another Miguel Martín Serrano, also our ancestor, who settled in the Chama Valley. The biographies of all are elsewhere in this work. [2]        Antonia Domínguez de Mendoza was born about 1674 and married Andres Hurtado 19 April 1689 in Guadalupe del Paso.  They participated in the 1693 rentry of New Mexico, but Andres died soon afterward.  On 25 October 1694, Antonia married Tomás Jirón de Tejeda, a soldier.  In 1710 Tomás worked on the reconstruction project of San Miguel Chapel.  He died 12 May 1736 at the age of seventy.  Antonia died 23 August 1748. [3]        María Dominguez de Mendoza was married in 1694 in Santa Fe to Antonio Godines, a widower from Mexico City who joined the 1693 colonists with his daughter, María Luisa, who was twenty years old. Their home, up until 1714, was on the Calle Real of Santa Fe between the Plaza and the church then being built.  Antonio worked on the restoration of San Miguel Chapel.  María had no children with Antonio.  María Luisa married María’s brother, Alonso de García y Noriega II, who was killed by Apaches in 1796.  Later María Luisa married Antonio Tafoya. [4]        Teresa Domínguez de Mendoza was married about 1707 to Diego Gonzáles de la Rosa, a son of Francisco Gonzáles de la Rosa, who came to New Mexico in 1693-94 from Mexico City.             [5]        Unknown Domínguez de Mendoza was married to Juan Severino Rodrígues de Zevallos.   Submitted by Donald Rivara, June 23, 2009.
