• Background Information: ²⁵²
Diego Lucero de Godoy, a young Alférez in 1663, was a Sargento Mayor residing in Taos in 1680. A widower, he had applied to marry a supposed daughter of Tomé Domínguez de Mendoza in April of that year, but no marriage took place. He was with the Leyva escort party when the Indians struck in August, and later he declared that thirty-two persons of his household had been massacred, including his brothers and sisters, sons, and servants.

On 16 Feb 1681, he married Maria Domínguez de Mendoza, and in September he passed muster as a married man, thirty-eight years old and a native of New Mexico, of tall and slender height, with a fair, ruddy complexion and long, red hair. In 1685 he was involved in the Juan Domínguez plot to abandon the colony, but in 1689 he received permission to move south to New Spain with his wife María Domínguez. Since his entire pre-Revolt family was killed, Diego left no descendants to re-settle New Mexico.
