Manuel Gutierrez

(abt. 1600 - )

Ines de Cabrera

(abt. 1610 - )

Manuel Gutiérrez and Inés de Cabrera were the parents of our ancestor, Tomás de Cabrera [1628-?].  We know this from the well-documented website “Beyond Origins of New Mexico Families.” They never lived in New Mexico.  They probably died in Mexico [then New Spain]. Their son Tomás was born in Cuauhtemoc, which is now part of greater Mexico City.

We know nothing else of this couple.  Their ancestry probably goes back to the time of Cortéz in Mexico.  Perhaps someday the Internet will provide further generations by putting church records on-line.  With Cortéz were three soldiers with the surname Cabrera: Gabriel de Cabrera; Hernando Cabrera, who was killed during the conquest; and Hernando’s brother, Juan de Cabrera.  There were several Gutiérrezes as well.
