• Background Information: ²⁵²
José Trujillo, son of Cristóbal Trujillo and María de Manzanares, natives of New Mexico, married Antonia Luján at Santa Fe in 1694. He received a special commendation from Vargas for his service during a Navajo campaign in 1697, receiving other citations, and an appointment as Alcalde of Santa Cruz, up to the year 1714. In 1715, as a retired Alférez and Alcalde of Santa Cruz, he appeared in a land suit in which Captain Baltasar Trujillo is mentioned together with him. His name is on Inscription Rock, dated July, 1726, with that of Juan Paéz Hurtado.

His known children by Antonia Luján were:
• Juan Crisóstomo, born February 9 Feb 1704
• José, who married Guadalupe Chirinos in 1716
• Bartolomé, who married Margarita Torres in 1719
• Margarita, who became the wife of Cristóbal Tafoya in 1719
• Ysidro, who married Francisca Xaviera Torres in 1727
Two of whose children, María and Santiago, were born in 1739 and 1740.

Jose contracted a second marriage with Antonia López, natural daughter of Ana María de Herrera, in 1710. Perhaps he is the José Manuel Trujillo, aged mastersmith and "brother" of Carlos López, who was grievously assaulted by some Valverde men in 1748. Genízaro servants of his bearing the Trujillo name were also mentioned.
