Jose de Atienza Sevillano II
(c. 1676 - after 1731)
Estefania Moreno Trujillo
(c. 1676 - )
José de Atienza Sevillano and Estefánia Moreno Trujillo
were the parents of Cayetano Atienza
Sevillano. We know this from
the LDS Disk #38 Pin #502272 and Pin # 503918.
The couple was married 8 July
1693, in the church of
Santa
Catalina Mártir in Mexico
City, just before embarking on the recolonization
expedition to New Mexico. [LDS
Disk #38 Pin #502270].
Estefánia
was born 22 July 1673 on
the Calle Real in Mexico City, Mexico.
She was the daughter of Nicolás Moreno Trujillo and María Ruíz de Aguilar. We know this from LDS Disk #38 Pins # 502272
and #503918. Estefania was also the
sister of Gertrudis Moreno Trujillo,
the wife of Miguel de Quintana, who
were also our ancestors on another line.
Gertrudis and Miguel were also among the colonists of 1693 who resettled
New Mexico after the Pueblo
Revolt of 1680 had driven the Spanish out of
New
Mexico. [Interesting reading would be about Popé, the
leader of this revolt.]
José de Atienza Sevillano II was the son of José de Atienza de Alcala y Escobar and Gertrudis Sevillano y Mancilla. [LDS Disk #38, Pins #505057,
#502279, and #502289]. His maternal grandparents were Alonso Sevillano of Spain
and Ana de Castillo Mancilla. [LDS
Disk #38 Pin # 508178 and Pin #508177] José was born about 1676 in Mexico
City, New Spain [Mexico]. He died 21 January 1731. We
have this entry from Origin of New Mexico
Families, by Fray Angelico Chavez, pages 139-140:
José
de Atienza Sevillano II...was
described in 1693 [in the records of Vargas, the leader of the 1693
recolinization of New Mexico] as a native
of Mexico City at the Arch of San Agustín, seventeen years old, of medium
height, fair, with an aquiline face and a mole on the left cheek. His wife was Estefánia Trujillo, also
seventeen, the daughter of Nicolás Moreno Trujillo; she was born in Mexico City on the Calle Real, and had a round face,
large eyes and a small nose. They had no
children as yet, but brought along her small brothers, José Damián and José
Joaquín Trujillo, whose parents came in the same colony.
José, called “El Mozo,” and known also by
his father’s long name, was thirty-three in 1713 [incorrect, he was about
37. Otherwise he would have been
thirteen at the time of his marriage.]; his
wife gave her age as thirty-six. In 1724 he sued a Santa Cruz man for wounding him and his young son, Gregorio. Other sons were Lázaro, José, Cayetano, and
most likely, Antonio, who married a María Romero of Taos in 1737.
Lázaro
de Atienza married Gertrudis Martín, widow of Bernardo
Madrid, on January 20, 1727,
and both were living at Ojo Caliente [in the Chama
Valley] of Río Arriba in 1735. He made
his will in 1767 as Lázaro Atencio, leaving his wife but no children.
José
de Atienza III married a María
Manuela Chávez at Santa Cruz [southern Río
Arriba County
abutting Espanola] on October
17, 1734. He died in 1752, when his brothers and a
widow are mentioned, but no children.
Nothing more is heard of the third of the
four original brothers, Manuel de
Atienza.
Joaquín
de Atienza fourth and youngest
son of old José de Atienza, gave his age as twenty-five in 1710, stating that
he was born in Mexico
City. He married a María Ansures, who was dead by
1737, when their daughter married Marcial Martín.
