Casados
Francisco Lorenzo Casados (ONMF, 157; and SRNM, 161-169) and Ana Pacheco y Lemos, the progenitors of the Casados family of New Mexico, were married in the sagrario chapel of the Catedral de México, Mexico City, on November 27, 1692. The official witnesses to the union were Pedro de Medina and Salvador de Flores, among other whose names were not recorded. The presiding priest was Bachiller Felipe Ballí.
The priest recorded the surname of Francisco Lorenzo as ‘Casaos.’ In addition, the marriage records gives Ana Pacheco’s extended surname as ‘Pacheco y Lemos,’ which provides a valuable clue for further research into her family of origin. The names of their parents are not recorded in the marriage record, but should be recorded in the book of banns of matrimony (informaciones matrimoniales) for the Catedral de México and dated about one to two weeks before the marriage date.

Unfortunately, the corresponding record of información matrimonial is not part of the records for the Catedral de México, and thus we still have no record to information us about the names of the parents of Francisco Casados and Ana Pacheco y Lemos.

José Antastacio Casados
The barrio de San Francisco in Santa Fe was the long-time residence of the escultor José Anastacio Casados. He received the sacrament of baptism in the church of San Francisco on 18 August 1787, being a son of José Gabriel Casados and Matilde Lucero. The Casados family lived next to a family of carpenters, Juan Manuel Ortega and his son José Celedón Ortega. These woodworkers may have been influential in the development of the skills of José Anastacio Casados as creator of devotional art. By 1823, Casados was recognized as an escultor by profession, indicating he made his living by producing devotional works. He was married around 1817 with Josefa Sena (baptized 5 August 1797, Santa Fe), a daughter of don José Vicente Sena and doña Ana María Rivera y Peña.
José Anastacio Casados and his family were enumerated as residents of Santa Fe in 1841, and his widow and children were enumerated in the U.S. Federal census of 1850, indicating he was apparently deceased by 1850. He and Josefa Sena were the parents of eleven known children born and baptized at Santa Fe between 1817 and 1840:
José Fernando Casados, baptized 1 June 1817, Santa Fe. Padrinos: Santiago Casados and Manuela Casados.
