Research Notes

1. While there are sources proving that Andrés López de Gracia (abt.1600-), María López de Millán (1613-aft.1684), Lucia López de Gracia (1620-), Sebastiana López de Gracia (abt.1620-1686), and Isabel López de Gracia (1632-1692) were siblings,^[2] the only mention of their parents is a document, "Lista de los soldados que van a la Nueva Mexico" which says "Andres Lopez de Garcia, son of Bentura."^[3] Fray Angélico Chávez did a bit of conjecturing and said that their father may have been Antonio de Gracia "or a brother," possibly Bentura. Antonio's parents were Juan Lopez and Gerónima Millán which could explain the surnames used by this family.^[4]
