Atrisco Land Dispute | New Mexico

Question

While browsing through a collection of documents related to a land dispute in New Mexico in the late 1700s, I noticed that image 435 of the case mentions José Hurtado de Mendoza, widowed husband of Feliciana Sánchez, daughter of Jacinto Sánchez and Efigenia Durán y Chávez. That image, I think (I am no expert in New Mexico genealogy), makes it possible to propose merging the following:

Jacinto Sánchez

Efigenia Durán y Chávez

2. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dur%C3%A1n_y_Ch%C3%A1vez-63

Could the New Mexico project or an expert in New Mexican families of that time period have a look-see?

The images related to the land dispute are found on images 429 to 511. Images 594-595 on the same roll of film contain a map of the disputed land as well as some description. The records related to the case appear to involve generations of family members and could provide valuable primary sources for profiles.

Thank you for following up with my request for assistance. I hope the land dispute files are useful for researchers of those families.
