Among the collection of the Parral Archives, there is a letter dated 7 July 1646 written by a Captain Ambrosio Sáez, "vecino y labrador en el Valle de San Bartolomé," in which he declared he was the carteaker of the the belongings of General Cristóbal de Ontiveros, apparently deceased at the time. Sáez mentioned the widow of Ontiveros was doña María Sáez, perhaps a relative of his. [1645B, fr. 553].

On 4 July 1646, at San José de Parral, Ambrosio Sáez registered a mine "que esta de quarenta leguas deste Real camino carril de carros del Nuevo Mexico azia el oriente y pasando el ultimo bando del Rio de Sacramento." He titled his mine "la mina de Sacramento." In this claim he mentioned the name of a son, Juan Sáez, and he mentioned a brother, "Capitán Antonio Saes, mi hermano." [1645B, fr. 556-557]
