Biography

Ana María Lucero was born about 1753 (estimated based on the age recorded in her prenuptial investigation). She was the daughter of Manuel Miguel Lucero de Godoy and Rosa Baca.^[1]

She married Juan José Silva sometime after February 20, 1769.^[1]. They had at least one son, José Antonio Silva.

Ana María Lucero must have passed away sometime in 1775, for on November 20, 1777, Juan José Silva stated during his prenuptial investigation with María de la Luz Baca that "he wished to marry María de la Luz in spite of their relationship because he had given her his promise to marry two years earlier." It is very unlikely that he would have promised María de la Luz that he would marry her if his wife had still been alive. ^[2]
