• Background Information. 252
Igacio Baca was 24 years old in 1681. At this time he signed up as a captain, and was married with four small children. He is described as tall and slim, with an aquiline face, fair complexion, wavy red hair and no beard. He was Sargento Mayor at the Presidio of Gudalupe del Paso by 1634, as well as an assistant Alcalde of the Real de San Lorenzo. By Oct 1689, Ignacio was dead.

His family was an ill-fated one. His widow, Juana de Anaya Almazán, returned to New Mexico in 1693 with her two sons, Alonso and Andrés, and five daughters. When the Indians rebelled again in 1696, she was killed at San Ildefonso with Fathers Corvera and Moreno. With her died Alonso, while Andrés was massacred at Nambé, thus ending the male line of this family. Two daughters were also killed, Leonor, married to Pedro Sánchez, with a daughter and son of her own, and Rosa, who was still single. Of the three surviving girls, María had married Tomás Gutiérrez; Gerónima and Margarita, probably living with relatives since childhood, later married Francisco Rodríguez Calero and Diego Lucero de Godoy, respectively.

Information from a prenuptial investigation record shows that Cristóbal Baca (md. with Ana Moreno de Lara; ONMF: 10) and Ignacio Baca (md. with Juana de Anaya; ONMF: 10-11 & 141) were brothers. It was incorrectly presumed that this Ignacio Baca was a son of Cristóbal Baca, but the following information from a diligencia matrimonial dated 1766 provides different evidence:

4th degree consanguinity between Cristóbal Montoya, son of Diego Antonio Montoya and María Magdalena Baca, and Margarita Lucero, daughter of Miguel Lucero and Nicoalsa González
Ignacio Baca 1st degree (brothers) Cristóbal Baca
Margarita Baca 2nd degree (cousins) Manuel Baca
Miguel Lucero 3rd degree (2nd cousins) María Magdalena Baca
Margarita Lucero4th degree (3rd cousins) Cristóbal Montoya

Margarita Baca, wife of Diego Lucero de Godoy, was a known daughter of Ignacio Baca and doña Juana de Anaya Almazán. Her cousin Manuel Baca, married with María de Salazar, was a known son of Cristóbal Baca and doña Ana Moreno de Lara.
