Biography

Commanding General Pedro Lucero de Godoy, son of Juan López de Godoy and Ynés Lucero y González Jaramillo, was born on July 26, 1599 in Mexico City, New Spain. His padrinos, godparents, were: Juan Rodríguez Chaquete and Leonor López. Leonor may be the sister of Ynés Lucero y González Jaramillo, according to Esquibel. He died well before 1680 in New Mexico. Pedro Lucero de Godoy was a native of Mexico City, where he had a brother, Francisco. Another, Diego, was a secular priest there. Pedro was involved in most of the church and political intrigues of his time, although he managed to steer clear of unpleasant consequences experienced by others. By 1663, when he gave his age as sixty-three, he had attained the rank of Maese de Campo. In this same year he was Lieutenant Governor of the Kingdom as well as Syndic of the Franciscans.

His first wife was Petronila de Zamora, who married him, she later claimed, when she was but eleven years old. To all appearances, she was the Petronila listed as the youngest child of Bartolomé Montoya and María de Zamora when they came to New Mexico in 1600. They had a daughter Catalina, who married Diego Romero, son of Gaspar Pérez, and also a son, Juan, also prominent in public affairs. Another son, Pedro, Alcalde of Santa Fe at this time (1663), may have been a child by Petronila, or else by his second wife. Pedro's second wife was Francisca Gómez Robledo, who was also active in affairs connected with the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. In 1663 they had five daughters “of marriageable age” and the young Pedro, just mentioned. Another son, Francisco, figured in later historical events. One of the daughters, María, who was perhaps the youngest, became the wife of Lázaro de Misquia. Two other women—Ynez, wife of Juan de la Escallada, and Luisa, married to Pedro Montoya de Esparza—were most likely his daughters. Lucero had a step-son, Antonio de Salas.

Pedro died well before the Rebellion of 1680. His second wife appears to be among the colonists who were massacred, from a statement of Diego Lucero de Godoy. ^[1]

Luisa was born about 1647. She died before 12 Sep 1715.
