Biography

1693, Paso del Norte: Pedro Sánchez de Iñigo casado con Leonor Baca[1]


The origin of the Sánchez de Iñigo surname used by these individuals has stumped New Mexico genealogical researchers for the past fifty years, particularly because there have not been any records extracted for a seventeenth-century settler of New Mexico with this surname. As such, it has been thought that the Sánchez de Iñigo children were perhaps the children of one or more men living in New Mexico during the latter half of the 1600s. Now, recent research into seventeenth-century Inquisition records pertaining to New Mexico has lead to uncovering records for a man who was accused of “living scandalously” with a woman named Juana López de Aragón in 1663, and the surname of this man’s mother was Sánchez de Iñigo.

One friar, fray Francisco Muñoz, was denounced by Diego Pérez Romero, who in August 1663 stated that Muñoz “vivido siempre muy escandolossamente” (“always lived very scandalously”) with a daughter of Capitán Diego de Trujillo referred to as ‘La Donosa’ and her first cousin doña Juana López de Aragón. ...Fray Francisco Muñoz, who at age eighteen took the habit of San Francisco on December 20, 1646, in Mexico City, was as a native of Puebla de los Ángeles, New Spain, and his mother was Madalena Sánchez de Iñigo.

The Sánchez de Iñigo article includes other evidence that supports the consideration of Fray Francisco Muñoz and doña Juana López de Aragón as the progenitors of the Sánchez de Iñigo family, and includes the marriage record of the paternal grandparents and names of the paternal great-grandparents of the Sánchez de Iñigo children of New Mexico.[2]
