Biography

Ana María was born about 1679 to unknown parents.^[1] It's possible that her parents died in the Pueblo Rebellion and she grew up an orphan. In 1694 she married Onofre Montoya also of unknown parentage.^[1] They had two known children, Felipa and Cristóbal.^[2]

Research Notes

1. There is no record of Ana's birth date. Her marriage investigation doesn't list her age but it does list witnesses , one who had known her for 14 years and one who had known her since birth. Since the average age for a first marriage for a woman in that time was about 15, I selected 1679 for her probable date of birth. Korte-201 07:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
