Anacléto Miera y Pacheco

   Another name for Anacléto was Cléto Miera.

  General Notes:

I have yet to find a direct link between "Cléto," Bernardo or Manuel Miera y Pacheco with María Manuela, but the name used in Diligencias Matrimoniales is María Manuela Miera y Pacheco. That wasn't a common name at the time. She also used the name María Aragón. I'm basing this connection on:

Belen Diligencias Matrimoniales [Albuquerque] : Urban Jose Alejo Torres (26), espanol of Los Garcias, Belen parish, son of Joaquin Torres and Isabel Chaves, : and Maria Vibiana Lucero (16), espanola of Alameda, daughter of Juan Antonio Lucero, deceased, and Maria Manuela Miera y Pacheco. - Witnesses: Antonio Estanislao Ruiz, notary; Toribio Garcia Jurado (74) of Los Garcias, Paulin Baca (47) of Los Bacas, Pedro Marquez (52) and Julian Rael (56) of Alameda : 1805 Sept 5 #10, Albuquerque, V10 P1901, CR
AND
16 Sep - 4 Dec 1805, José Antonio Gutiérrez, español, 20 legitimate son of Miguel Loreto Gutiérrez and María de la Luz González, citizens of Alburquerque. María Bárbara Lucero, española, 18, was the legitimate daughter of the late Juan Antonio Lucero and María Manuela Miera y Pacheco, citizens of Alburquerque.
Durango DMs Vol. II, pg 45

This shows that Manuela's last name was Miera y Pacheco and that she was from Alameda. Cléto's descends can be found residing in the Rio Abajo, which his brother Bernardo's descendents can be found in the Rio Arriba area. Also Cléto was the alcalde of Alamenda where Manuela resided. Due to her age, she may also be Cléto's sister and the daughter of Bernardo or the daughter of a sister of Bernardo's. Her age doesn't not fit with Manuel Miera y Pacheco, so they only relationship she may have with his would be sister or niece. ³¹
