Gertrudes Griego

  General Notes:

It is very possible that Gertrudes is the Gertrudes Griego that married Antonio Torres at San Juan Pueblo on 8 Jul 1756. Both Antonio and Gertrudes were listed as being from Chama.

Marriages at San Juan and Santa Clara Pueblos, p. 9

Gertrudes may have been related to Tewa leader Juan Griego who conspired with Lucas Naranjo against the Spanish return to the Río Arriba. Since Casilda Torres is called a Coyote it would make sense for her mother to be Tewa as well as her grandmother, who may be Catarina Naranjo. ⁴⁴²

  Noted events in her life were:

Casilda Torres baptized on 16 Apr 1760, hija de Francisco Torres y Gertrudes, vecinos de Chama, Padrinos Casilda Mestas.
