Biography

1634: "As a young captain he led a small exploratory expedition three hundred leagues into the eastern plains"

"He was one of fourteen conspirators ordered executed by Governor Pacheco in 1643 (where his brother Antonio died), but all these fourteen escaped death"

"He was still living at his place in the Rio Abajo district as late as 1662. Nothing else is known of him, not even his wife’s name. Cristobal Baca ... was apparently a son.”^[1]
