José Miguel de la Peña seems to have been a son of Baltasar Francisco and Lucía Gutierrez. He married María Francisca Rael de Aguilar on 23 Apr 1737; she was a sister of Nicolás Rael. Sometime in the third quarter of the century he was Alcalde at Jémez, and was living in Santa Fe in 1790, when he gave his age as seventy, and that of his Rael wife as sixty-five.
They had a son, Juan de Dios, born 18 Mar 1748, who married Loreta Ortiz, by whom he had a son, Maríano. The father followed a military career.
Another son, to all appearances, was José Miguel II, chanter in the church at Santa Fe, who received a grant near Santo Domingo Pueblo. This homestead of his was known as "El Rancho de José Miguel de la Peña" from 1777 to 1780; by 1791 it was shortened to "Rancho de Peña," and from 1792 on it was "Rancho de la Peña Blanca" His wife was Dolores Martín.
