They resided at Santa Fe where six of their known children were born before moving to the jurisdiction of Santa Cruz de la Cañada but had two additional children who were baptized at San Juan de los Caballeros:

Antonio José López and Bárbara Anaya were accounted for as residents of the jurisdiction of Santa Cruz de la Cañada in the 1790 census as follows:
#451 José Antonio Lopez, Spanish, age 48 [born circa 1742] , farmer; his wife, María Bárbara Anaya, Spanish, age 36 [born circa 1754], with 4 sons ages 20, 9, 4, and 3, and 6 daughters ages 19, 14, 7, 5, 2 and 1. One female Indian servant, age 18, and another age 3. One male Indian servant, age 12. Two male Indian orphans, ages 10 and 5. (Olsmsted, New Mexico Spanish and Mexican Colonial Censuses, 1790, 1823, 1845, New Mexico Genealogical Society, 1975, 103)
This Antonio José López (born circa 1742, husband of María Antonia Tenorio and Bárbara Anaya) appears to be the same man of this name identified in a military enlistment record dated 18 March 1776 as "Anto José Lopes, son of Anto Lopes and María Lopes, of Santa Fe" and gave his age as thirty-nine (born circa 1737). He signed his enlistment record and was discharged on 31 August 1804. If this is the case, then 'María Lopes' may be the same person as María Josefa López, daughter of Pedro López Gallardo.
