He was thirty at the time. In 1681 he signed the muster-roll at Guadalupe del Paso, stating that he was twenty-eight years old and married. He was described as a native of New Mexico, of medium build, with a pock-marked, aquiline face, and straight hair. Like other people of the Salinas country, he was proficient in the Indian tongues, and so rendered valuable service as an interpreter during the Otermín Campaign of 1681. He and his family returned to New Mexico with the Reconquest.
