Manuel Mariano Trujillo and Marla Andrea Lucero, Nambe, Pojoaque, and Abiquiu, 14
December 1796-26 November 1797, AHAD-100, f. 93-110.
Manuel Mariano Trujillo, 49, was the legitimate son of the late Lizaro Trujillo and
Maria Marquez de Ayala, the widower of Maria Teodora Baca and a citizen of this jurisdiction.
Maria Andrea Lucero, 42, was the widow of Juan Domingo Valdes and legitimate daughter
of the late Marcos Lucero and Maria Antonia Gomez del Castillo. At the time of their
prenuptial hearing it was learned that he was having a continuing sexual relationship with her
first cousin. Father Cadelo, the priest at the mission of Nambe, ordered additional
investigations.
Father Cadelo copied baptismal records into the proceedings. One showed that on 8
August 1747 fray Jose Zambrano, minister of Santa Fe, baptized an infant born on the 6th of
the month named Manuel Mariano, the legitimate son of Lazaro Trujillo and Maria Marquez
de Ayala, citizens of Santa Fe. His godparents were Francisco Martin and Gregoria Valverde.
From a book kept at Santa Clara but pertaining to San I1defonso, he copied another
entry that indicated that on 7 December 1754 fray Juan Antonio de Ezeija baptized Marla
Andrea, the legitimate daughter of Marcos Lucero and Marla Antonia Gomez del Castillo.
Her godparents were Miguel Sanchez and Victoria Sanchez.
A certificate from the same mission indicated that on 29 July 1794 fray Buenaventura
Merino buried Maria T eodora Baca, wife of Manuel Mariano Trujillo. Another burial
certificate from the same church stated that on 4 March 1796 Cadelo buried Juan Domingo
Valdes, who died on the 2nd day of the month during the afternoon. He was married to Maria
Andrea Lucero.
Cadelo prepared another certification from the records of the missions of Pojoaque and
Nambe. It indicated that on 15 January 1797 he married Manuel Mariano Trujillo, the
legitimate son of the late Lazaro Trujillo and Marfa Marquez de Ayala, widower of Marla
Teodora Baca, and a citizen of this jurisdiction, and Marfa Andrea Lucero, the widow of Juan
Domingo Valdes, the legitimate daughter of the late Marcos Lucero and Marfa Antonia Gomez
del Castillo, and a citizen of that jurisdiction. Witnesses were Jose Antonio Roybal and Jose
Ignacio Roybal, his brother.
Cadelo had allowed the marriage despite the fact that Trujillo had had sexual relations
with his intended brides's first cousin. He did so because he believed that the sex act had not
been consummated.
On 26 November 1797 the bishop informed Cadelo that he had overstepped his
authority by permitting the couple to marry. If he granted a similar dispensation in the future,
he would be punished with a three-year suspension.
