[1809-1884] married Francisco Estevan
Quintana [1801-1880] and later moved to The first child of the Lujan’s whose baptism was recorded at the Catholic church in San Ildefonso was our ancestor, María de Guadalupe Luján, baptized on 12 December 1809 at the age of three days. The godparents were Juan Antonio Quintana and María Josefa Quintana. It appears that Guadalupe was the Luján’s eldest child. On A

Gertrudis was probably their daughter, although Estéfana would have to have been about fifteen when Gertrudis was born. Girls married very young in the Hispanic culture in those days. [In Spanish the letters “g,” “ x,” and “j” often are pronounced with the same English “h” sound, but here the name is clearly misspelled because in front of an “a”, “o,” or “u,” a “g” would be sounded like the “g” in gum. This census-taker was probably Hispanic because an Anglo would not place a “g” for the English “h” sound.] Joaquin’s year of birth would have been about 1778 according to the information in this census.
