Information received from NMGS member Maximo
Martinez:
I would like to see a mistake corrected. An entry in the
Spanish and Mexican Colonial Census of 1845 was incorrectly
written by a census taker 154 years ago, then extracted
and published as it was found in the record. See New
Mexico Spanish and Mexican Colonial Censuses, 1790, 1823,
1845 extracted by Mrs. Virginia Olmsted, published
as New Mexico Genealogical Society Publication #B2, rev.
1979.
- Listed under the El Rito heading (Mora County) on
page 226, 1st entry of frame #446 is the following:
Ma Pascuala Trugijo (widow)
Manuel Martin
Mariano Martin
That "Mariano" is in fact Maximo
Martin, son of Pedro Martin and Pascuala Trujillo.
I know that the correct name is Maximo as he is my great-great
grandfather. The person who wrote the original census
made the mistake of not crossing the "X" in
Maximo.  |
Maximo Martin's marriage record [AASF
94, Mora Marriages frame 328, April 21, 1857] confirms
his parents' names as Pedro Martin and Pascuala Trujillo.
His brother, Manuel Jorge Martin, married Candalaria Trujillo.
