6. Beyond Origins of New Mexico Families [BONMF], an Internet site hosted by José
Antonio Esquibel. This site has important information which confirms that Juana Baca was
the daughter of Cristóbal Baca and Ana Moreno de Lara and not the daughter of Manuel Baca
and María de Salazar. Researchers: Margaret Buxton and José Antonio Esquibel.
7. Origins of New Mexico Families by Chávez. The information about Juana Baca found
on this page is incorrect with regard to the names of her parents. Fray Chavez was
mistaken when he identified Juana Baca, as the daughter of Manuel Baca and Maria de
Salazar Hurtado. [1992, Chavez, ONMF, p. 144].
Notes:
* Margaret L. Buxton re-examined the Baca records. She discovered that Juana Baca was
the sister, and not the daughter of Manuel Baca, and thus was the daughter of Cristobal
Baca and Ana Moreno de Lara Trujillo. [1991, Buxton, The Other Luna Family, p. 5 citing
the El Ranchito Land Grant records.] Refer to the marriage investigation (DM) between
Joseph Antonio Baca and Juana Chaves which may have led to the mistake. [DM no. 15,
Albuq. Sept. 11, 1766 p. 159] [1991, Buxton, The Other Luna Family, p. 7].
