- Text: Domingo de Herrera, son of Marcos, was residing at Taos when the Indians struck in 1680. They killed his wife, seven children, his mother-in-law, and two brothers-in-laws. He was spared because at the time he was with the Leyva escort guard at Guadalupe del Paso. This he mentioned when he applied to marry again in 1683. Here he said that he was thirty-three years old, born at La Canada, and a resident of Taos when the Indians killed his first wife, Maria Ramos, The woman he now married was Maria Martin, widow of Antonio Lujan.
