Bartolomé de Ledesma (ONMF: 52, 101) was still living in 1662 when he gave testimony in the case against Governor López de Mendizábal on 8 March. He declared he was married with María Martín de Monuera (see Martín Serrano-Monuera), a vecino de Santa Fe, and gave his age as forty-three (more or less), indicating he was born circa 1619.
Chávez suggested that Bartolomé de Ledesma may have been the same person as Bartolomé de Salazar. However, Salazar's wife, known only as María, was already a widow in 1662, and Chávez writes that Salazar "died prior to 1662."
