Domingo Labadía, a "native of France," married Micaela Padilla in Santa Fe on 2 Nov 1766, with Tomás and Juana Padilla as witnesses. But when or how he came to Santa Fe is not known. The earliest civil document that mentions him is of the same year. In 1777 he witnessed the contract for the erection of a new church in Sandía Pueblo. He lived for some time in the Río Arriba country, his wife's home, and also in Santa Fe, as may be seen from the birthplaces of their children.

In 1790 the census of San Juan described the family as follows:
Don Domingo Labadía, European, age fifty-two, married to María Micaela Padilla, forty-two. They had three sons, aged twenty-one, nine, and five; and four daughters, eighteen, twelve, six, and three. According to what descendants told Twitchell, his wife was a daughter of Juan de Padilla and Margarita Martín, the latter a daughter of Sebastián Martín.

The many Labadía children appear as follows in baptismal registers:

• Ana María Ignacia, 14 Aug 1767
• Pedro Antonio, 6 Feb 1769
• María de la Cruz, 4 May 1772
• María Trinidad, 29 May 1774
• José Miguel, 8 Oct 1775
• María Rita Encarnación, 25 Mar 1777
• Francisco Xavier, 3 Dec 1779
• Margarita, 23 Feb 1783
• Juan Pablo, 24 May 1784
• José Miguel in 1788
• María Andrea in 1789
• Margarita in 1792.

Two other daughters, very likely born in between the preceding children were:

• Bárbara, wife of Andrés Pacheco
• Josefa, mentioned as their daughter when she married Manuel José Ribera in 1783.
