Miguel Chaves and Mada Luda [Garda] Montoya, Isleta, 21 November 1796·J January 1797,
AHAD-99, f. 370-74.
Miguel Chaves, about 26, espanol, was the legitimate son of Domingo Chaves and
Agustina Padilla, citizens of San Andres de los Padillas in the Isleta jurisdiction. Marta Lucia
Montoya, 19, espanola, was the legitimate daughter of Jose Antonio Garda and Mada
Montoya, both deceased citizens of Los Padillas. The couple knew of an impediment of
consanguinity but claimed not to know in what degree. Miguel Chaves stated that he had
deprived Maria Lucia of her virginity and that she had had a child, which was generally
known.
Fray Jose Ignacio Sanchez could not locate the baptismal records for the couple in Isleta
and therefore took testimony from Santiago Trujillo and his wife Victoria Chaves, who were
the godparents of Miguel Chaves. Trujillo said the event took place in 1760, although he did
not recall the month.
Barbara Montoya and her late husband, Antonio Chaves, were the godparents of Maria
Lucia Garda. She stated that her baptism took place in Tome in 1777 with fray Joaquin Ruiz
officiating.
Witnesses: Toribio Garda, 65, citizen of Belen.
Pedro Padilla, 63, citizen of Sausal.
Juan Padilla, 44, citizen of Los Lentes.
The witnesses explained the couple's relationship as follows:
First degree: Pedro Chaves was the brother of Francisco Chaves.
Second degree: Francisco Javier Chaves was the first cousin of Luda Chaves.
Third degree: Domingo Chaves was the second cousin of Marta Montoya.
Fourth degree: Miguel Chaves was the third cousin of Marta Lucia Garcia.
Another relationship was:
First degree: Juana Montoya was the sister of Antonio Montoya.
Second degree: Francisco Javier Chaves was the first cousin of Miguel Montoya.
Third degree: Domingo Chaves was the second cousin of Marta Montoya.
Fourth degree: Miguel Chaves was the third cousin of Marta Lucia Garda.
Another relationship was:
First degree: Josefa Baca was the sister of Bernarda Baca.
Second degree: Isabel Baca was the first cousin of Miguel Montoya.
Third degree: Agustina Padilla was the second cousin of Marta Montoya.
Fourth degree: Miguel Chaves was the third cousin of Marta Lucia Garda.
Father Sanchez forwarded the proceedings to Durango for disposition. On 3 January
1797 Bishop Olivares y Benito granted the dispensation.
