José Montaño, living in Santa Fe, was twenty years old in 1695. He married María de Cuéllar and went to live in the Rio Abajo, where in 1715 he wounded a man, because of jealousy, at the home of his mother-in-law, then married to Tomás Garcia. He was still living in 1734 when he and María were sponsors for a child of his sister Juana and Nicolás de Chaves. In 1750 he trespassed on Alameda Pueblo lands and got a fine imposed by Governor Gachupín. He is in all probability the José Montaño who died a "muerte violenta" at Tomé, 29 Jun 1756.
His widow was still much alive in 1772 as one of the first settlers of the Rio Puerco country with three of her sons.
Their children were: Pedro, who married Paula Gallegos in 1748 ; Joaquín, who died at the age of eleven, 28 Apr 1742; Juan Bautista, husband of Rosalia Jaramillo; and Bernabé Manuel, who married Eduarda Yturrieta, or Varela. The latter two were among the first Rio Puerco settlers with their mother.
