Juan de Díos Sandoval Martínez married his first wife, Juana Hernández, in the parish church of Santa Catalina Mártir in Mexico City sometime after 1672 [DM, 1693, no. 14]. Their son Miguel de Dios married Lucía Gómez Robledo in Santa Fe, Oct. 28, 1697 [DM, 1697, no. 11]. Another son could have been a Pedro de Sandoval, born in the Valley of Toluca, and 20 years old in 1698 when he was soldiering in Santa Fe [DM, 1698, no. 6]. The soldier of this name who was brought to trial in 1694 for mistreatment of his wife, Rosa de Contreras, might have been this same man [Gen., 1694, no. 5]. And he might also be the Pedro Martínez in ONMF, p. 227. Old Juan de Dios next married Gertrudis de Herrera, by whom he had Antonio, who married Josefa Villalpando at Santa Cruz in 1722 [DM, 1722, no. 8]; Juan José, who married María Fernández in 1720 [DM, 1720, no. 14]; Miguel, born at Santa Cruz, Oct. 1, 1713; and Feliciano Antonio, July 31, 1715 [Gen., 1710, no. 7].
