| Notes |
- Have not yet found the baptism/birth record for Jose Atanancio Trujillo.
There are two possible sources for a birth date:
-
1. At a Trujillo family reunion in the 80's, some paperwork was handed
out (unknown source) that had Jose Atanacio Trujillo born on 26 Jauuary
1801 in Ojo Caliente (Rio Arriba), New Mexico. Note that Ojo Caliente
is located in both Taos and Rio Arriba counties, but the mining area
where people worked was in Rio Arriba County.
-
2. Another source from FamilySearch states that Jose Atanancio Trujillo
was born 6 January 1809.
Jose Atanancio Trujillo is linked as the son of Jose Maria Trujillo
and Josefa Martin through at least one baptism record of his children.
Luis Rafael Trujillo, listed his parents as Jose Atanancio Trujillo and
Maria de Jesus Valdes, and listed his paternal grandparents to be
Jose Maria Trujillo and Maria Josefa Martin. The maternal grand-
parents were listed as Juan Antonio Valdes and Maria Apolonia
Medina.
