Carvajal

Antonio Carvajal and his wife Juana Becerra were apparently residents of the area of Bernalillo in the early 1700s. This couple does not appear to be accounted for in Origins of New Mexico Families, unless they are the same couple identified as Antonio Carvajal and Juana Maese who were married in Bernalillo on 25 July 1705 (see ONMF: 350, and AASF, DM 1705, no. 21). The parents of this Antonio Carvajal were Indians (ONMF: 350).

Antonio Carvajal and Juana Becerra were the parents of two known children: María, baptized 30 April 1707, Bernalillo; padrinos were Joseph López and Sebastiana Rodríguez; and Petrona, baptized 12 June 1708, Bernalillo; padrinos were Joseph de Quintana and Juana de Góngora.
