José López de Ocanto was nineteen years old and single in 1681; he was described as a native of New Mexico, of medium height, with a round, beardless face and black, wavy hair. He also went on the Otermín Campaign. He is numbered in 1682 among those who ran away from Guadalupe del Paso. Apparently he was a son of Domingo.

María López de Ocanto, wife of Salvador Romero, and Luisa López de Ocanto, wife of Juan de Ribera, were most likely sisters of José.
